Thousands of New York City police abuse allegations ignored by NYPD

New York, November 18 (RHC)-- The New York Times reports most serious misconduct charges against New York City police officers were met with lenient punishments as the department constantly ignored or downplayed the need for stricter response. 

Of nearly 7,000 misconduct charges against officers, the department overruled harsher punishments in about 70% of cases, including officers accused of physically assaulting people. 

Meanwhile, New York City simultaneously paid millions of dollars to settle lawsuits that stemmed from those same abuse complaints.  This comes as New York City added another 900 cops to the police force last month. 
Over the weekend, dozens of people in Manhattan took to the streets protesting ongoing police killings and abuse.
