Police Coverups, Conspiracies, and Cost to Taxpayers

It’s pure insanity when you think about it. The contingent who doesn’t trust the media , the FBI, the government etc will wholeheartedly put their trust in police. Go figure.

 

New York City police commissioner quietly burying cases against cops. 54 times in his first year as commissioner (the previous commissioner did it 8 times in the same time span).

How NYPD Commissioner Caban Buries Officers’ Disciplinary Cases — ProPublica

Since becoming commissioner last July, he has short-circuited cases involving officers accused of wantonly using chokeholds, deploying Tasers and beating protesters with batons. A number of episodes were so serious that the police oversight agency, known as the Civilian Complaint Review Board, concluded the officers likely committed crimes.

As is typical across the United States, New York’s police commissioner has the final say over officer discipline. Commissioners can and often do overrule civilian oversight boards. But Caban’s actions stand out for ending cases before the public disciplinary process plays out.

“What the Police Department is doing here is shutting down cases under the cloak of darkness,” said Florence L. Finkle, a former head of the CCRB and current vice president of the National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement. Avoiding disciplinary trials “means there’s no opportunity for transparency, no opportunity for the public to weigh in, because nobody knows what’s happening.”

Indeed, the department does not publish the commissioner’s decisions to retain cases, and the civilian oversight agency makes those details public only months after the fact. Civilians are not told that the Police Department ended their cases.

 

The rot starts from the top

This problem will continue as long as juries believe anything police officers say. Not saying all cops or even most cops lie but until they are all treated as unreliable witnesses in court cases the problem will continue.

you hear in the body cams these felon cops tell unconscious people to stop resisting. That makes their actions premeditated.
