NYPD use of force

2014-09-15 17:43:09.913451+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton claims 2% of arrests involve force, City Council analyst uses math, is fired:

In his email, Matusov goes on to say there were 40,000 stop-and-frisk arrests in 2011, and “[o]f those, the arresting officers themselves reported that they used force in 19,360 arrests,” which exceeds Bratton's estimate, even among that smaller sample.
