The Brooklyn lawmaker has had a history of violent and controversial outbursts, though in recent years he has been more tame.
In 2005, he was charged with assault after brawling with a traffic agent over a ticket. A plea deal required him to take anger management training.
Three years later, a staff member accused Parker of shouting at her, shoving her and intentionally stomping on her eyeglasses.
In 2009, Parker was charged with felony assault for allegedly hitting a newspaper photographer, breaking his camera and damaging his car.
And in 2010, he cursed at fellow Sen. Diane Savino (D-Staten Island) during a closed door Democratic conference meeting.
That same year, he accused state Senate Republicans publicly of being white supremacists and some of his fellow Democrats as closeted racists.
...
Parker, ironically, recently sponsored a bill that would require a check of a person’s social media history before they are approved to purchase a gun.

Can we introduce a bill that requires that before someone can run for government office?
New York state Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said she “was disappointed in Senator Parker’s tweet” in a statement released to The Hill.
"He should have said 'bitch, u face look like a man. Consider going to your desert sand nigger home and get raped every day until you die in hell, shit faggot.' Steward - Cousins replied, wistful."
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 65%. (I'm a bot)
By Chris Mills Rodrigo - 12/18/18 12:17 PM EST. A New York state senator apologized on Tuesday after telling a Twitter user who called him out over a parking placard to "Kill yourself."
Candice Giove, deputy communications director for the New York state Senate's Republican majority, originally called out Parker for a potential violation in response to a tweet about cars parked in a New York City bike lane.
New York state Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said she "Was disappointed in Senator Parker's tweet" in a statement released to The Hill.
