New York Attourney General sues New York city police.

New York’s attorney general sued the New York Police Department on Thursday, calling the rough treatment of protesters against racial injustice last spring part of a longstanding pattern of abuse that stemmed from inadequate training, supervision and discipline.

Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit includes dozens of examples of alleged misconduct during the spring demonstrations in the wake of George Floyd’s police killing, including the use of pepper spray and batons on protesters, trapping demonstrators with a technique called kettling and arresting medics and legal observers.

“We found a pattern of deeply concerning and unlawful practices that the NYPD utilized in response to these largely peaceful protests,” James said at a news conference announcing the lawsuit.

James, a Democrat, was tasked by Gov. Andrew Cuomo with investigating whether NYPD officers used excessive force to quell unrest and enforce Mayor Bill de Blasio’s nightly curfew. She issued a preliminary report in July that cited a “clear breakdown of trust between police and the public.”

“Protestors”

Between May 29 and June 9, 2020, an estimated 450 businesses in New York City were looted or damaged during the civil unrest following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Property damage and looting took place in the neighborhoods of SoHo, NoHo, East Village, Greenwich Village, and Union Square in Manhattan, as well as in parts of Midtown Manhattan and the Bronx. The costs from the property damage and looting were estimated to be in the "tens of millions".

"longstanding pattern of abuse that stemmed from inadequate training, supervision and discipline" is the key phrase to me.

In the military, we train people to be killers. With the police, we train them to be peace keepers.

With that in mind, we shouldn't be surprised when these skill sets overlap.
