The Civilian Complaint Review Board has recommended discipline against 39 officers, including police brass over the handling of the frequently violent George Floyd protests.
At the height of the BLM protests, the violence and looting started to explode across the city. Molotov cocktails were thrown at police vehicles, many protestors literally physically confronted officers, tossed objects such as batteries at the officers, looted hundreds of businesses, took over highways, bridges, and generally terrorized NYC for several days.
NY Post reported: The city’s police watchdog issued an update on its investigation into the NYPD’s handling of the protests last summer, saying it has so far substantiated 26 complaints of misconduct against the nearly 40 officers.
A far-fetched conspiracy theory, where the “OK” hand symbol has transformed into a “white power” sign, has literally become an accepted concept, even though, its origins were started as a joke This originated after several conservative pranksters online spread this theory as a joke. “Woke” leftists took it seriously, and now people use the “O.K” symbol to troll leftists, who still think it symbolizes “white power”.
Officer Enrico Lauretta, who is white and is assigned to the NYPD’s 114th Precinct, was caught on video making an “OK” hand sign at a May 31 protest in Manhattan’s Union Square, according to a Gothamist news report and records from the Civilian Complaint Review Board, an independent agency that investigates NYPD misconduct.
Lauretta’s case is the most high profile among the 40 officers sited by the CCRB.
NY Post reported:
The list of officers also includes Deputy Inspector Elias Nikas, who the board found made a retaliatory arrest during the protests, and Deputy Chief Michael Pilecki, who had substantiated charges for an improper seizing of property, CCRB records show.
The CCRB also said it is still awaiting interviews from officers in 38 of its 147 open investigations.
The majority of the cases with charges were for complaints of force and abuse of authority, according to the update.
Meanwhile NYC District Attorneys are tossing BLM and ANTIFA insurrectionists charges from court, which is a similar pattern seen nationwide. Violent insurrectionists, who are often committing acts of terrorism, are not being prosecuted.
NYPD [New York Police Department] data reviewed by the NBC New York I-Team shows 118 arrests were made in the Bronx during the worst of the looting in early June. Since then, the NYPD says the Bronx DA and the courts have dismissed most of those cases – 73 in all. Eighteen cases remain open and there have been 19 convictions for mostly lesser counts like trespassing, counts which carry no jail time.
In Manhattan, the NYPD data shows there were 485 arrests. Of those cases, 222 were later dropped and 73 seeing convictions for lesser counts like trespassing, which carries no jail time. Another 40 cases involved juveniles and were sent to family court; 128 cases remain open.
