An official investigation into complaints of biased policing against the NYPD’s officers reveals, among other things, that the outfit doesn’t consider cops using racial slurs as evidence of bias; that the vast majority of people who accuse NYPD officers of racial profiling and bias are black; and, the almost unbelievable fact: that the NYPD has never disciplined an officer for racial profiling and biased policing.
Ever.
In October 2014, the NYPD began a “Bias-Based Profiling” initiative that tracked and investigated complaints of racial profiling and police bias after a federal judge ruled that the city’s “stop and frisk” policy violated the Fourth and Fourteenth amendments of the Constitution because they disproportionately targeted black and Latino citizens. The court order demanded that the NYPD “begin tracking and investigating civilian complaints related to racial profiling and other allegations of bias.” Prior to that, the department did not even track complaints, Newsweek reports.
