The #NYPD Is Tossing Out Hundreds of Misconduct Cases — Including Stop-and-Frisks — Without Even Looking at Them
The department has killed more than 400 cases of alleged misconduct this year that an oversight board had investigated and substantiated.
It’s part of a lax attitude toward discipline under the current #police commissioner, Edward Caban, critics say.

@ProPublica@newsie.social The problem with stop and frisk is the criteria for who looks suspicious is entirely subjective and in the moment. What needs to happen is to draw up some objective criteria for what a suspicious behavior looks like and the officer should be trained on the protocol.
