ProPublica has found the NYPD site for allowing the public to track officers’ misconduct is shockingly unreliable. Cases against officers frequently vanish from the site for days — sometimes weeks — at a time. The issue affects nearly all of the officers in the database, with discipline disappearing from the profiles of patrol officers all the way up to its most senior uniformed officer.

ProPublica examined more than 1,000 daily snapshots of the database’s contents and found that, since the fall of 2022, the number of discipline cases that appear in the database has fluctuated often and wildly. Try to pull up the record for a disciplined officer and the site sometimes spits back, “This officer does not have any applicable entries.”

Since May 2021, at least 88% of the disciplinary cases that once appeared in the data have gone missing at some point, though some were later restored. As of this week, 54% of cases that had at one point been in the system were missing.

    The federal government is supposed to be going after cops for this…

    But both parties are pro police/anti protestor while in power, so it never gets done.

    When BLM was going on, Dems kept telling everyone “these police abuses would never happen if we were in charge, we love protestors!”

    Which was always bullshit, no sitting president has ever been cool with being protested.

    So now Biden and other Dems like Erik Adams are spreading bullshit propaganda about protestors like Republicans did with BLM.

    It’s the worst time possible for Biden to show he’s a hypocrite that doesn’t care what his voters want. But the alternative is doing the bare minimum to stand up to Israel, and Biden isn’t prepared for that

    The most is threatening to pause shipments of a few specific giant bombs if Israel expands their genocide instead of just maintaining it.

    He’s either a complete idiot, or just doesn’t care if trump becomes president.
