"What she's doing really has nothing to do with her as an employee, as an NYC detective," a police union source told The New York Post at the time. "She's not wearing NYPD paraphernalia. Nothing in the video says she's a detective. If she is performing for money, if she has a side gig, the job would want to know about that. The member would be obligated to file an off-duty employment application. I would say nothing she does in the video is the department's business."
"This film isn't about hype-it's about truth,"
"I stayed silent while the internet judged me, but now the full story comes out."
"After everything went down and I'm watching all of this and now I'm seeing the narrative change like, I have a family, too. This lady has a family, too,"
Phabian Winfield, known as S-Quire, will release a documentary titled The Making of a Moment next month that examines the fallout from his 'Doin That' music video and alleged ties to the Department of Homeland Security. The film reportedly reveals that Winfield served as a federal officer for Homeland Security and promises to present his version of events. The 'Doin That' video featured Melissa Mercado, a seven-year NYPD detective assigned to the Special Victim's Unit, prompting public controversy. A police union source noted Mercado's performance did not display NYPD insignia but suggested off-duty employment rules might apply. Winfield has said he did not know of Mercado's day job.
