Get rid of the commissioner and change things so the NYPD doesn’t get to interfere with the outcome of disciplinary issues like this. It doesn’t really matter if it goes through the the Civilian Complain Review Board process if the NYPD can just decide to downplay, if not outright ignore, their findings and recommended disciplinary action. They love to do just that, helping abusive and violent officers avoid consequences and keeping them on the streets, drawing a salary and benefit at the expense of the very people they brutalize.
Edit: Realized that source was super old, but fear not!. The NYPD are still at the same tactics.
no worries, they will investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong.
He could start with a new police commissioner…
