The culture of looking the other way or undermining discipline needs to end.

While reporting data illustrates the problem, it is meaningless if NYPD makes no real effort to address the clear disparities in who gets policed.

We should also empower CCRB, to be able to impose discipline when allegation of misconduct are substantiated, to directly access evidence like body camera footage to ensure that NYPD cannot purposely run out the statute of limitations, which we've seen happen more than once, and to end the practice of allowing commissioners to unilaterally intervene in substantially substantially the cases of misconduct.
