Looking Up an NYPD Officer’s Discipline Record? Many Are There One Day, Gone the Next.
ProPublica has found the NYPD site for allowing the public to track officers’ misconduct is shockingly unreliable. Cases against officers frequently vanish from the site for days — sometimes weeks — at a time. The issue affects nearly all of the officers in the database, with discipline disappearing from the profiles of patrol officers all the way up to its most senior uniformed officer.
ProPublica examined more than 1,000 daily snapshots of the database’s contents and found that, since the fall of 2022, the number of discipline cases that appear in the database has fluctuated often and wildly. Try to pull up the record for a disciplined officer and the site sometimes spits back, “This officer does not have any applicable entries.”
Since May 2021, at least 88% of the disciplinary cases that once appeared in the data have gone missing at some point, though some were later restored. As of this week, 54% of cases that had at one point been in the system were missing.
Your attempt to deflect the limelight away from Biden and administration is what's most slimy and I've seen this cult like behavior elsewhere as well (Election campaign push?).
Keep kissing that ass to paint him as a good person, we all see through it.
And yes, Fuck Trump too, if you were deciding to try and deflect using the textbook deflection tactic.
What exactly does the President have to do with the NYPD compromising their records? I’d say the same thing if Trump were in office. It’s a city police force. The mayor is responsible for holding them accountable. If the mayor didn’t, it would be the governor who’s charged with the responsibility. The amount of people that think the president directly oversees everything in this nation is a clear indicator of the failure of our education system.
See how far a mayor gets when they decide to try to buck the NYPD. Deblasio tried to do moderate changes and they basically made it impossible for him to do anything. And you're implying that the NYPD is somehow an exception when it comes to how police forces operate in the US, as opposed to the norm. It's a problem that needs to be fixed federally.
That’s a different issue altogether, and I wholeheartedly agree. Our training system absolutely needs addressing. My point above is that the police do not respond to direction of the President, nor are they held accountable by him. The Mayor oversees local law enforcement, and the Governor oversees State Police. The only way the President is permitted to instruct those bodies is during a declared National Emergency.
