The headline is somewhat misleading because its even worse
The cases were fully investigated and substantiated by the city’s police oversight agency, the Civilian Complaint Review Board, and sent to the NYPD for disciplinary action.
The cases were looked at and found valid and substaniated.
In every public facing job you always have nonsense complains from main-character-people that you can just dismiss. But these were not that. Not even partly. They were all rightful complains.
Not investigated by the NYPD though. I agree it's bad that these complaints have been vetted and they still threw them out, but based on the bit you quoted, it's accurate to say the NYPD didn't look at them.
I didn't say its false, just that they left out an important fact.
Fair!
To add the point I wanted to make was, this was not an oversight because there were so many inconsequential complains, they didn't bother to look for valid ones.
This was with Intent. A "Fuck you with your misconduct complains, I won't even look at them, I'm not gonna discipline my people"
No disagreement from me!
That's what you get for electing a corrupt cop as mayor.
Also Adams is yet another example, why having someone from a marginalized group in office does not mean that the represents or even really cares about the needs of that group past his own political advantage.
"We haven't investigated ourselves and assume we did nothing wrong." - NYPD
No, it's worse than that. This is "we refuse to investigate ourselves and actively reject the CCRB's finding of fact that we did something wrong."
So I take it this means the NYPD thinks groin punches are appropriate?
ACAB.
"Protect and serve" - but only if you're rich.
It is really beyond time for citizen review boards to stop being "advisory" and to start having the authority to impose punishments directly themselves.
As it stands, such boards exist to give the appearance of doing something about police brutality, but not actually be effective at it, and that's 1000% by design.
That's if they exist. Mayors/governors/councils/congress keep shutting down inconvenient oversight wherever possible.
