NYPD disciplinary records are disclosed for nearly 4,000 active officers that show 20,000 substantiated allegations of abuse of authority and 244 chokeholds
2020-07-27
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • ProPublica published The NYPD Files, a database disclosing the disciplinary records of nearly 4,000 officers and 12,056 complaints

  • The database only includes active duty officers who've had at least one substantiated allegation

  • It excludes allegations deemed 'unfounded' by the Civilian Complaint Review Board in New York

  • A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the CCRB, the police department and other entities from disclosing disciplinary records

  • Critics have argued that the public seeing unproven or false complaints could worsen civilian-officer relationships

  • Supporters have noted a long history of poor transparency from the NYPD while protected under the recently scraped 50-A law

#6  ^ Wouldn't occur to me to say they were.

#5  The assumption that all were due to "police brutality" is one I'd be leery of.

Ok, but I'm not sure that falsifying evidence, taking bribes and other forms of corruption are an improvement.

#4  The database only includes active duty officers

So it doesn't include the officers who died going into the Towers or who died from the toxic debris afterward?

#3  How many of those disciplined instances involved no misuse of physical force? The assumption that all were due to "police brutality" is one I'd be leery of.

#2  SO they have disciplined them? HMM goes against the narrative of the NYPD approving of it.

#1  You do not cut off the air, instead you apply pressure to the artery cutting off blood to the brain. At least that's what the medic instructed us when faced with a thrashing casualty.
