Convicted NYPD “cooler cop” Erik Duran spoke out for the first time since being bailed out of an upstate prison Monday, just hours after posting $300,000 bail in the Bronx. The 13-year veteran cop was freed while he appeals his April 9 manslaughter conviction for tossing a cooler during a 2023 Bronx buy-and-bust operation that killed suspect Eric Duprey. “First and foremost, I want to thank my family, particularly my wife, my children and my parents for all their unconditional love and support throughout this ordeal,” Duran said in a statement released by the NYPD Sergeants Benevolent Association.
