NEW YORK — New York’s attorney general sued the New York Police Department on Thursday, calling the rough treatment of protesters against racial injustice last spring part of a longstanding pattern of abuse that stemmed from inadequate training, supervision and discipline.
James, a Democrat, was tasked by Gov. Andrew Cuomo with investigating whether NYPD officers used excessive force to quell unrest and enforce Mayor Bill de Blasio’s nightly curfew. She issued a preliminary report in July that cited a “clear breakdown of trust between police and the public.” In October, the New York Civil Liberties Union and the Legal Aid Society sued the city on behalf of protesters who say they were assaulted and abused by police.
After seeing how lightly the Domestic Terrorists at the Capitol were while committing insurrection, I think we can all agree that the police response to BLM protests everywhere was way over-the-top.
Show respect get respect!
But destroying the property of innocent hard people is fine😡!! Throwing bottles of urine and ice and water at cops is fine😡!!

And so it begins. Protect yourself no one else will.
You mean, the po-po didn't get them shopping carts for the shopping spree.
🤦🏻♂️
Do you mean the BLM terrorists?
MadisonSiriusXM Long overdue.
The government is going after the government 😳
👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻 Accountability within police departments is an absolute must
Roflmao
Can't wait for the police to be found guilty and be hit with a huge fine which the city pays for by cutting public services and giving the cops a nice pay raise for their emotional distress at being sued
NY ain’t gonna have cops anymore. Good luck
Good! It's past due that America must root out white supremacists from our cities' police forces. Read the 2006 FBI report.
Why are we celebrating criminals George Floyd was a fucking criminal
New York's AG has a name. Use it. 😡
This is hilarious coming from some damn Democrats right now!
The police was rough, not the looters who burned, stole and destroyed
Well, hell yes Tish James!
No they should not have messed with the peaceful protesters! But the burning looting and robbing of businesses is just as bad as what happened at the capital! Enough is enough! And everybody if you do get stopped by a police officer comply don’t argue don’t fight back!
In this thread: Non-Racists: YESSSSSSS! Racists: Wut?
What a joke. And if I was cops next time any of them called 911 we don’t show up. And if people weren’t idiots and listened they would be ok
Hey ORDOJ OregonGovBrown OregonSOS Can you please look into the PortlandPolice for these same things? They have been mistreating peaceful protestors for a long time now.
Compilation of NYPD brutality—parody of Sinatra's 'New York, New York.'
The below replies let's you know: Who attended the insurrection at the CapitolRiots
Cops should quit and let the riff raff weed each other out.
Here we go!! 1st they went after 1 now 2! constitution DonaldJTrump
This is ridiculous! Many police that were attacked by the rioters!
Finally
They were too soft with them.. they should have opened fire
Then maybe NYC doesn't deserve to have police officers. Would be great to watch. Defund NYC police. I dare you.
Plenty of footage out there. I don’t get how people can think police are always in the right🤦🏽♂️. They’re are plenty of bad apples. You would think people would want to weed them out.
Take note AGDougPeterson 📝
Should be pretty easy to prove with the HUNDREDS of videos of incidents.
LOL - Police should quit!
I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with NYPD Officers, SBANYPD today, tomorrow, & . . forever. It's real easy to never be possibly abused by Police. Simply obey the law, and . . stay off the streets during violent political protests. .
Poor NY, having to fund THAT legal battle for that shitty racist dept.
aishahhasnie The police bring their problems on themselves
What tune would the righteous NY attorney general have been singing if the “protestors” had looted her home/threatened her security? These were rioters, not “protestors”. Get a grip!
I don’t think they should do this now as we must work towards unity I’m being sardonic for fucks sake of course they should do this
took em long enough
TananariveDue NewYorkStateAG ? Word? 👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿
'Longstanding pattern of abuse' This pattern has been there for over a century. I doubt this will change anything
No doubt they police union will subtly threaten her life. They love that kinda shit.
Nice
Why wait until now? Why the delay?
i love my attorney general
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) 🙏
How dare they be rough with looters destroying private property!
no_itsmyturn Didn’t they burn down parts of the city, stabs cops in the neck, throws molotove cocktails at police in cars and loot every store they could? They should’ve been even tougher on them.
Defund them.
It's about time.
Go, TishJames, GO!
For God’s sake if they treated them that rough there wouldn’t have been looting
Let’s get it
