The New York attorney general is suing the New York City Police Department and its leadership over its 'excessive, brutal and unlawful' handling of George Floyd protests, saying they failed to address a 'longstanding pattern of abuse.'

New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing the New York City Police Department and its leadership over its"excessive, brutal and unlawful" handling of George Floyd protests, James said in a news release.

James also wants to install an external monitor to oversee the department's policing tactics.The suit, filed Thursday in Manhattan federal court, comes after a monthslong investigation into the NYPD's actions during protests over the killing of Floyd that found that officers allegedly used"indiscriminate, unjustified, and repeated use of batons, pepper spray, bicycles and a crowd control tactic known as 'kettling' against peaceful protestors," the release said.

Funny, MAGAts don't like real law and order.

' ' brutal' ' lol. CNN is like an episode of the 80s sitcom, Mama's Family ... So unbelievably dumb it's funny. Y'all blockheads who live & die by that site are destined for ' ' greatness' ' 😂😂😂

Where are the videos of fireworks being directed to the cops, bricks, bottled ice water. How about ratio of protestors to cops and fear for their lives?

Good !

As every state should be doing. It was ridiculous that they terrorized, incited fear and brought their violent badges to our peaceful protests. Accountability would assist with equality. That will assist with Unity.... BLACKLIVESMATTER TreasonHasConsequences

I cannot.

Look at how the Tramp protesters were handled with kid gloves.

Yes please! Get some ruling here! I can not take the equation of summer’s protests to the insurrection at the capitol while the outcry should directed at the massive double standards coming to light once and for all
