It’s been four years since Kawaski Trawick was tased and killed by two police officers in his apartment in the Bronx.

And now it seems Trawick’s family and friends’ fight for justice may be reaching a disappointing end.

Supporters of Trawick rallied at One Police Plaza in Manhattan, demanding the two officers be fired.

“Fire Thompson Davis for Kawaksi,” chanted a group of friends and family on Thursday.

“The deputy commissioner of the NYPD Maldonado has recommended that these two officers Thompson and Davis keep their jobs,” said Jawanza Williams, director of organizing at Vocal-NY.

Earlier this week, The City, a news site, reported that a draft decision by the NYPD deputy commissioner recommends that the two officers, Brendan Thompson and Herbert Davis, not face discipline.

Police said the 32-year-old Trawick rushed at officers with a knife. His family says the former dancer was cooking in his home before he was unjustly killed.

An internal investigation found no wrongdoing.

Meanwhile, Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark declined to bring criminal charges against the officers.

“Not only have they avoided trial and public opinion for over 20 months after they killed a man, but now they continue to collect on taxpayer dollars and they are subject to keeping their jobs,” added Williams.

In her draft decision, Deputy Commissioner Rosemarie Maldonado puts blame on the Civilian Complaint Review Board, the body that oversees police misconduct, for missing the deadline to file charges against the cops.

But Trawick’s parents said the decision is based on a flimsy point.

“Anyone who saw the video, which the NYPD kept hidden so it took 20 months to be released, knows our son should be alive and that Thompson and Davis did wrong and they should be fired. For the NYPD’s deputy commissioner to try to protect Thompson and Davis by trying to blame us or the CCRB for the NYPD’s delays and cover-ups is not just ridiculous, it’s cruel and dangerous for New Yorkers,” said Ellen and Rickie Trawick, Kawaski’s parents in a Thursday statement.  

A lawyer for the Trawick family said the police department is using questionable ethics.

“There is no doubt that police protect the police,” said Royce Russel, lawyer for the Trawick family.

Williams went on to call out Mayor Eric Adams, saying he shows a lack of concern in the case.

“We hear silence from this mayor not a word,” said Russel. “It is very ironic that as I look on my social feed, this mayor is having a birthday fundraiser celebration today. Guess who’s not celebrating? Guess who won’t ever be here for a birthday,” Williams said.

Meanwhile, some local lawmakers say the recommendation sets a dangerous precedent when it comes to police-involved shootings.

“If you are poor, if you struggle with mental health issues, if you struggle with substance use, if you are queer, if you’re neuro-divergent, if you are part of the disability community you are criminalized and you could be killed,” said Queens Councilmember Tiffany Cabán at the rally. “And to say if you have a badge, you have free license to do so, it leaves officers feeling invisible.”

Ultimately, it is Police Commissioner Edward Caban who will decide on final discipline in the case.

NY1 reached out to the NYPD, who didn’t comment on the case or the recommendation but said, “the disciplinary process remains ongoing.”
