NY TRANSIT AND POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY ADVOCATES TO GOVERNOR CUOMO: INVEST IN MTA SERVICE UPGRADES NOT MORE MTA POLICE
[New York News\MTA]
Riders Alliance Community Organizer Danna Dennis: “Riders need more subways and buses, not an expensive new police force. Governor Cuomo should cancel his order for the MTA to hire new police officers it cannot afford and doesn’t need. The governor needs to face the facts: crime is down and ridership is up. New Yorkers need more service and less surveillance, more public transit and less abuse of the public trust.”

FAMILIES OF NEW YORKERS KILLED BY POLICE TESTIFY TODAY TO REPEAL POLICE SECRECY LAW AT NYS SENATE
[New York News\Police\50a Law]
New York police have used 50-a to shield abusive officers and departments from public scrutiny by hiding outcomes of disciplinary trials, names of officers involved in police misconduct, body camera footage, and even basic data on use of force incidents. In fact, the public only saw the judge’s decision in the trial of Daniel Pantaleo (the officer responsible for Eric Garner’s killing) because it was leaked to the press.
