Dozens of NYC officers should be disciplined over response to George Floyd protests, watchdog says

These officers need to be fired




Dozens of New York City police officers committed misconduct during the wave of protests that followed George Floyd's murder last year and should be disciplined, a police watchdog agency said Monday.

The city's independent Civilian Complaint Review Board, or CCRB, which investigates police complaints, recommended that 65 officers face administrative charges for a variety of misconduct, including abuse of authority, making untruthful statements and use of force.

The board said it faced "unprecedented" challenges investigating more than 750 complaints, including allegations that officers covered their names and shields, did not properly use body cameras and filed incomplete or delayed paperwork.

As there is the proof they are not honest brokers. If they covered their badges, shields, and didn't properly use their body cameras, and the most egregious of them all is making untruthful statements along with the use of force.


They do NOT belong on the force.
