I wish it was easier to see what is going on from the data they show 😕

NYPD is in my opinion on one of the worst tiers of police agencies in the country, and so it wouldn’t surprise me if they are still very bad. But it’s hard to tell one way or another from this article.

It would be nice to see e.g. a breakdown of all fatal interactions with police, and all interactions that led to a use-of-force complaint, what the categories were in terms of:

  • What % they refused to give body cam footage
  • What % our use of force expert said it was ok
  • What % our expert said it was debatable
  • What % our expert said the cops were very clearly abusive

Just reporting numbers like, how many complaints were there, or how many people did the police shoot whether or not it was needed, isn’t real enlightening

We can't even get mandatory reporting of the numbers of people they kill and you expect details to be available? There is no interest in actually reforming police behavior.
