    …what? Where do you live that cops get fired? Certainly not the US.

    And, yes, people have sued the NYPD. Often and repeatedly. That has only changed how they define their practices, not what those practices are. For example, NYPD officially stopped having quotas for stop-and-frisks after the lawsuit ~15 years ago, but everyone inside the department knows that if you have the fewest stops, you’ll get worse assignments and are more likely to be passed over for promotion.

      I grew up in central Florida and it used to happen quite frequently. Officers do shady shit, city/county w.e gets sued, grand juries force restructures and people being fired. The NYPD may be covering each other’s asses better or something
