Police data provide a sweeping look at the hundreds of allegations lodged each year against officers — and show how rarely the more than 2,000 members of the department are disciplined.
Police are not able to police themselves. The Boston Globe found "The Boston Police Department almost never believes citizens who report misconduct or violence by police officers, and even when officers are found to have acted inappropriately, they often are not punished with anything harsher than an oral reprimand, according to a Globe analysis of more than four years of department discipline data." Sadly, an expert says this is "very typical of similarly sized departments."

Regrann from @jone_sy2 - #swipeleftforvideos . . DA Drops Charges After Video Shows Man Acted in Self-Defense Against Violent Cop January 5, 2017 Allegheny County, PA — A disturbing video was released this week showing an altercation between a police officer and a 21-year-old man arrested on suspicion of heroin possession. The video shows an attack by the officer and subsequent defense by the 21-year-old. While the incident happened in 2015, Todd Hollis, the attorney for the 21-year-old suspect, Joshua Brooks, waited to release the video and file the lawsuit until after the criminal charges against Brooks were resolved. On April 17, 2015, Brooks was arrested on charges of suspicion of heroin possession. He was brought into the custody of the Elizabeth Borough police department and chained to a bench. As the altercation begins, Brooks is seen standing up when officer Garrett Kimmell approaches and tries to grab Brooks’ throat. Not wanting to be choked or have his trachea crushed, Brooks attempted to push Kimmell’s hands away. Pushing away Kimmell’s hands caused the officer to begin punching Brooks. As the punches start to fly at his face, Brooks begins to fight back in an act of defense. However, it appears that he quickly realized that the fight is futile, since he was chained to a bench in a police station, and so he raised his hands and submitted. Brooks’ submission, however, did not stop Kimmell’s attack. For several moments Kimmell appears to continue to choke the non-violent man. For over a minute, Brooks remains submissive as this cop continues to attack him. But after having enough abuse, Brooks wrapped his arms around the cop’s body in an attempt to stop the attack. The two go back and forth before another officer enters the room and helps to subdue Brooks so Kimmell can then fire his taser. The video then ends. “The acts that happened on that particular day don’t denote honor, and I think it brings dishonor to all the great police officers in our city and the country,” Hollis said. According to the lawsuit now filed on Brooks’ behalf against the department, after this incident, additional charges of #policethepolice #policemisconduct #abuseo
A decades-old New York State law that has kept police behavior from public scrutiny may finally be overturned.
The grief, rage, and community organizing regarding the recent murders of more Black people by police officers is creating the possibility of change across the county. As more and more people are convinced that police departments should be defunded, there is also a push for reforms that increase public safety and police accountability without allocating more power to police. One such reform is that police misconduct records must be made public. We recommend this article about the fight to overturn a New York law that shields police officers from scrutiny by keeping their complaint histories secret.
Police secrecy is a problem in Massachusetts as well. Here, although we can typically learn if an officer has a history of complaints such as brutality or false arrest, there is no law that requires a police department to reveal what discipline, if any, the officer received. The reasons for imposing discipline are also kept secret. Without knowing the discipline, the public cannot know if police officers are being held accountable when they violate people’s rights.
Depressed man with razor blade shot to death by Hayward police was talked down and disarmed during similar incident in Oakland
Agustin Gonsalez, a mentally ill man with a history of depression, was shot to death by police in Hayward, California, as he held a razor blade. In a similar incident just months prior, police in Oakland, California talked him down and disarmed him as he cut himself with a razor. Hayward police, on the other hand, opened fire on Mr. Gonsalez only seven seconds after arriving to the scene. This is a tragic example of the needless deaths that police cause when officers are not trained in de-escalation strategies but instead turn immediately to lethal force.
