What really drives me nuts about these stories is there's actually a shit ton of scholarship on policing and they never ever cite it or look at it. It's just "cop says" ok but a lot of cops are uneducated and a lot of policing relies on shoddy techniques or history. It also doesn't talk at all
And, not only are they ignorant, they just lie all the time!!!
about qualified immunity and the fact that NYPD is held to a lower standard than average New Yorkers while holding more power. Also not a peep about the rampant corruption under Adams. You could read this whole article and not know Adams was mayor.
