Brooklyn Police Brutality Attorney
Cases of New York police brutality have occasionally garnered national attention over the years, but the fact is that hundreds of police misconduct and brutality cases are investigated every year in New York City. In fact, NYC spends $500 million to $600 million annually on settlements for police brutality cases.
In 2010, for example, the Civilian Complaint Review Board, an independent organization that investigates allegations of law enforcement misconduct, received 6,476 complaints against the NYPD. Some cases involve allegations of racial discrimination by police officers, while others say they were abused and injured unnecessarily while being arrested.
