Which NYPD officers have most complaints against them? | Mona Chalabi
"In New York, thousands of police discipline records that were kept secret are now public thanks to a change in the law. A statute known as 50-a meant the public could not know about complaints made against police officers or the outcomes of those complaints but, after the mass anti-racism protests sparked by the police killing of George Floyd in May, activists in New York successfully pushed for the law to be repealed.
Soon after the law changed, the news organization ProPublica asked New York’s Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) to see this information. The result is a publicly available database of active-duty officers in New York City with at least one allegation against them that has been substantiated by the CCRB. Almost 4,000 officers are included in the database, representing 11% of the 36,000 officers in the NYPD."

In 1997, a Black Louisiana man was accused of attempting to steal his neighbor's hedge clippers and sentenced to a life sentence in prison without parole. Last week he asked to have his case reviewed, but the state Supreme Court turned it down.
Bernette Johnson, the court's chief justice and only Black judge, is torching the decision: "This man’s life sentence for a failed attempt to steal a set of 3 hedge clippers is grossly out of proportion to the crime and serves no legitimate penal purpose."
Bernette Johnson, chief justice for the Louisiana Supreme Court, wrote a fiery dissent last week on the court's decision to turn away a review request of a man who is serving a life sentence for attempted theft.
