Asian NYPD cop says racist Washington Square Park tirade was ‘degrading’

The Asian cop who endured a racist tirade in Washington Square Park over the weekend says the hateful encounter was “degrading” and “upsetting.”

“I feel like he was just angry at the uniform, at police officers, and he decided to add some racial slurs in it,” NYPD Officer Philip Huynh told ABC7 of the man caught on video calling him a “c—k” nearly two dozen times in the Manhattan green space Saturday night. “It was degrading, upsetting. No one wants to be called something like that,” the officer said.
