STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The NYPD's sergeants union referred to the group tasked with overseeing cops as a "disgrace" after it tweeted about the Fourth Amendment.
The Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) advised its twitter followers that the Fourth Amendment protects New Yorkers from unreasonable search and seizure, and encouraged them to file a complaint if they felt those rights had been violated by members of the NYPD.
#MayTheFourth Amendment protect you from unreasonable searches and seizures. And if you feel your rights have been violated by an NYPD officer, file a complaint here: https://t.co/85crBmm5PG pic.twitter.com/dD7vumSaux

About three hours after the initial tweet, the Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA) took to the social media platform to convey its feelings about the tweet.
"You are all a disgrace. You sit on your a-- and target the NYPD all while growing up on the nipple of what's easy. You have no clue what a NYPD officer does yet target us and disparage our integrity. One day you will dial 911 when evil is at your door and thank god for the NYPD," the union tweeted.
Another tweet followed with photos of Officers Rafael Ramos, Wenjian Liu, Brian Moore, and Paul Tuozzolo, who were all killed in the line of duty.
