""It's sad, really," said Schwartz's lawyer John Scola. "It's just someone who's trying to do his job, and then, because he didn't basically bow down to the egos of Chell and Kaz, his whole life gets uprooted and he has to endure years of hardship, because these people essentially have a bruised ego.""
"Schwartz joined the NYPD in 2010 and worked at precincts in northeastern Queens for more than a decade. On Sept. 6, 2023, his lawsuit alleges, he was working at the 109th Precinct in Flushing when Daughtry entered the building through its back door and became angry that Schwartz did not recognize him and thus did not 'call attention' to Daughtry's presence with a salute."
Mark Schwartz, a mid-career NYPD officer, filed a lawsuit against top officials for retaliation after ticketing city employees and failing to recognize an assistant commissioner. The lawsuit claims a coordinated effort to intimidate him, resulting in emotional distress and damage to his reputation. Schwartz's lawyer emphasized the unfairness of the situation, stating that Schwartz faced significant hardship due to the bruised egos of his superiors. The incident began when Schwartz did not salute Daughtry, leading to further punitive actions against him.
