re: #131 John Hughes

I’ll have to pull out the statistics, but there was a review of police brutality cases, and it was like 10% were responsible for 90% of the abuse complaints. And 1% were responsible for more than 50% (or something similar).

But the NYPD failed to send these guys packing, let alone investigated all these claims. Despite that, NYC continues paying out big bucks to those harmed by the NYPD instead of demanding the NYPD clean up its act.

Some of it also falls on the police unions, who attack any politician who demands the police be held accountable when they commit crimes.

It’s going to take a lot of work to clean up law enforcement and the criminal justice system since it’s fixed to keep persons of color in their place and doesn’t protect the public the way they claim it does.
