Officers took “pervasive and purposeful actions” to hide their identities, including putting bands over their shields and refusing to provide their names and shield numbers to civilians.
Officers refused to be interviewed virtually for several months when COVID restrictions prevented the CCRB from holding in-person interviews.The CCRB outlined more than a dozen recommendations for the police department, to improve its response to protests and make it easier for the agency to investigate complaints in the future. The NYPD is not required to follow them.All officers should go through updated training on crowd control tactics.
Body cameras should be turned on whenever officers are interacting with civilians, including when officers are in distress and call for help.The NYPD should set up medical treatment areas staffed with EMTs who can quickly treat injured people who are arrested, before they are taken to be processed.
Might wanna highlight this part: “two police cruisers drove through a crowd of protesters. In Lower Manhattan, officers allegedly hit people with batons so hard that they caused bone fractures. Police spewed pepper spray indiscriminately into a crowd outside the Barclays Center”
Shocked, just shocked, that all the money we pour into the NYPD can lead to misconduct and malpractice. Well not that shocked.
The NYPD should wear GPS tracking devices
so...business as usual....
