A new report says nearly 150 New York City police officers committed misconduct, including using excessive force, while responding to the 2020 protests over the killing of George Floyd
FILE - A protester is arrested on New York's Fifth Avenue by NYPD officers during a march on June 4, 2020, following the death of George Floyd. According to a report released Monday, Feb. 6, 2023, by a civilian review board, nearly 150 New York City police officers committed misconduct, including using excessive force, while responding to the 2020 protests over Floyd's killing.
The document describes, for example, police actions during one protest in Brooklyn on May 30, 2020, that drew numerous complaints. “Protests against police brutality bred more instances of police misconduct,” Arva Rice, the review board's chair, said in a statement. “If this misconduct goes unaddressed, it will never be reformed.”The NYPD said it objects to many of the board's characterizations. In a statement, it said many, of not all, of the review board's recommendations already have been implemented in response to the department's own review and proposals by other agencies.
The NYPD said more than 400 officers were injured during the protests, including 250 who were hospitalized.“Once again, the anti-cop activists at CCRB are trying to pin the blame on individual police officers for management failures and the chaos created by violent agitators," he said in a statement."We are still awaiting ‘accountability’ for the city leaders who sent us out with no plan and no support, and for the criminals who injured more than 400 of our brothers and sisters.
