What a bunch of turkeys!
The Vietnamese mother of a slain NYPD cop plans to file a discrimination lawsuit against a Long Island Pathmark after store managers allegedly accused her of trying to redeem a free turkey with a counterfeit ticket.
May Schaberger, mother of Alain Schaberger who was killed while responding to a domestic violence call in 2011, tried to use her Shady Brook Farm Turkey coupon that's given to families of officers who died in the line of duty.
She was shopping at the Islip Pathmark on Nov. 19. The same store accepted her coupon last year, according to a statement by the family's attorney.
Two managers allegedly accused the 63-year-old mother of downloading the coupon from the internet even after she showed them a NYPD family member ID and a letter from the turkey company.
The manager allegedly told Mrs. Schaberger that he would not accept the voucher.
"She was humiliated in front of a long line of people who waited impatiently behind her on line while the managers argued with her," her lawyer, Rosemarie Arnold said.
"Of course if she wasn't Vietnamese, this would not have happened."
Arnold added that "These Pathmark employees have only added to the pain the Schaberger family feels at this time of year."
Thousands of fellow Finest attended Alain Schaberger's funeral in May 2011. Both Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Commissioner Raymond Kelly gave eulogies.
The 10-year veteran cop died after a thuggish Brooklyn man who was arguing with his girlfriend pushed him over a railing and he crashed onto a cement landing.
But the Schaberger family won't go hungry this holiday season, Arnold said that the mother's coupon was finally honored by another Pathmark store a few days after the humiliating incident.
A Pathmark manager at the Islip store declined to comment.
