Police Shootings / Possible Abuse Threads [merged] (7 Viewers)

Misconduct complaints against New York City police officers have risen to their highest levels since 2012, prompting some to put the blame on Mayor Eric Adams’s extremely pro-police mayorship and claim it is deteriorating “the NYPD’s relationship with the community”.

The latest monthly report from the civilian complaint review board (CCRB), the city’s independent police watchdog, tallied 4,262 misconduct complaints filed against NYPD personnel as of the end of September 2023.

This is the highest year-to-date tally since 2012, when the CCRB fielded 4,546 allegations of abuse when Michael Bloomberg was mayor and the NYPD conducted hundreds of thousands of unconstitutional stop-and-frisk encounters in communities of color under the then police commissioner, Ray Kelly.

In August of this year alone, 588 complaints were filed with the CCRB, the highest monthly tally since October 2012, when 601 complaints were logged. In recent years, the CCRB gained the power to self-initiate investigations and received authority to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct, racial profiling, biased policing, untruthfulness and unlawful stops.…….

A former Colorado deputy who was supervising remotely on the night 22-year-old motorist Christian Glass was shot and killed by Clear Creek County officers has pleaded guilty to lesser charges of failing to report and intervene and will serve a two-year probationary sentence with no jail time, a judge ruled Thursday.

Kyle Gould pleaded to the misdemeanors after originally being charged with criminally negligent homicide and reckless endangerment. The solidly built, bald and bearded 37-year-old entered his plea as Mr Glass’s bereft parents sat stoically in the courtroom, the plea conditions also requiring that he never again serve in law enforcement or security.

Judge Catherine Cheroutes called Mr Glass’s killing “incredibly tragic, but more than that – unnecessary.”


The 22-year-old was fatally shot while sitting in his car after calling 911 for help on June 10, 2022 when his vehicle became stuck amidst rocks on a dark stretch of road. Responding officers spoke with Mr Glass for more than an hour as he suffered an apparent mental health crisis – but the situation escalated after Gould, supervising from home, authorized the breach of his vehicle.

Still sitting in the driver’s seat, Mr Glass was tased and began thrashing around, seemingly grabbing a small geology implement before then-deputy Andy Buen fired the fatal shots…..

Six more officers have been charged in connection with the death of Colorado motorist Christian Glass, who was fatally shot by a Clear Creek County deputy in June 2023 when he called 911 for help.

The charges were announced by District Attorney Heidi McCollum, of Colorado’s Fifth Judicial District, the day after former Clear Creek County Sgt Kyle Gould pleaded guilty to misdemeanour charges of failing to report and intervene to stop the use of unlawful force.….

When Staff Sgt. Buck Aldridge fatally shot Leonard Cure during a roadside struggle after pulling him over for speeding, it wasn’t the first time a traffic stop involving the Camden County sheriff’s deputy had spiraled into violence.

Last year, Aldridge dragged a driver from a car that crashed after fleeing the deputy on Interstate 95. Body and dash camera video obtained by The Associated Press show the driver on his back as Aldridge punches him. Records indicate the deputy faced no disciplinary action.

Personnel records show Aldridge was fired in August 2017 by a police department in the same Georgia county after he threw a woman to the ground and handcuffed her during a traffic stop. The Camden County Sheriff’s Office hired him nine months later.

Aldridge stopped Cure for speeding Oct. 16 and ended up shocking the 53-year-old Black man with a Taser after he refused to put his hands behind him to be cuffed. Body and dash camera videos show Cure fought back and had a hand at the deputy’s throat when Aldridge shot him point-blank.



Relatives have said Cure likely resisted because of psychological trauma from spending 16 years imprisoned in Florida for an armed robbery he didn’t commit. Officials exonerated and freed him in 2020.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating Cure’s death and will submit its findings to prosecutors. Aldridge’s attorney said the video shows he fired in self-defense. Critics question whether he should have been wearing a badge at all, given his history of aggression.

“This guy should have never been on the force,” said Timothy Bessent Sr., president of Camden County’s NAACP chapter.…..
