Hold Police Accountable

We are a coalition fighting for the Community POWER Act - which would created an empowered Elected Civilian Review Board and Independent Prosecutor.

[Hold Police Accountable @ECRBforNYC]

New Yorkers- we need you to show up for justice.

On October 19th, come to a People’s Hearing for police accountability, calling to pass a new bill that creates community oversight of the NYPD.

[#HALTsolitary — Go to bit.ly/EndSolitaryNY @NYCAIC]

Solitary confinement is torture. NYC must end it now!

With supermajority support and the backing of Speaker Adrienne Adams, NYC must enact Int No 549 to finally end solitary once and for all!

Join a rally this Thursday, Oct. 5 at 10 am at City Hall Park: https://t.co/TM5o2JH5kf

No accountability from the system yet again. Pass the Community POWER Act and fix this problem with elected oversight of the NYPD who can fire officers without NYPD interference.

@THECITYNY is reporting that there will be NO DISCIPLINE for the two officers who killed Trawick. This is an absolute travesty. But we knew it would happen. Please read and share my article 👇 to understand the corrupt, venal system that passes for police discipline in NYC.

[Hold Police Accountable @ECRBforNYC]

@NYCSpeakerAdams Speaker Adams, you have had the chance to fix this problem for over a year - give the Community POWER Act a hearing and we can create independent oversight and end these sham NYPD "trials"

[Hold Police Accountable @ECRBforNYC]

Why is @NYCSpeakerAdams afraid of REAL police accountability? Why won’t she hold a hearing about the Community POWER Act?

The latest in our joke of a cop oversight system.

[john teufel @JohnTeufelNYC]

NEW FROM ME -For my latest in @TheIndypendent I attended the disciplinary "trial" of the cops who killed Kawaski Trawick. It was a theater of the absurd, a simulacrum of law, highlighted by a cop admitting shooting Trawick was a mistake...briefly. Read:

[john teufel @JohnTeufelNYC]

The facts of this matter are remarkably similar to the Kawaski Trawick killing - officers forcing themselves into a home without a warrant and then killing the occupant. These cops were charged with murder. Trawick's killers were cleared by NYPD.

Calling all concerned NY'ers!

Come to a tactics brainstorm to plan a summer of actions to push Adrienne Adams to give our police accountability bill a hearing.

All ideas, availabilities and abilities are welcome.
Refreshments will be served!

[Hold Police Accountable @ECRBforNYC]

Call Speaker Adams: No more delays on police accountability! Call [phone] to demand a hearing on The Community POWER Act. Help us make 100 calls before Thursday! They want our bill to die in committee. Let's get it PASSED instead!

[Hold Police Accountable @ECRBforNYC]

Call Speaker Adams: No more delays on police accountability! Call 718-206-2068 before Thursday and demand a hearing on The Community POWER Act.

Since its reintroduction 30 people have been killed by the NYPD. If the police are not held accountable more people will be killed.

[Hold Police Accountable @ECRBforNYC]

Thursday marks 3 years since George Floyd was killed, and the City Council has yet to pass meaningful police reform. That's why we're rallying to push @AdrienneAdamsNY and @KamillahMHanks to hold a hearing on the Community POWER Act ASAP!

[Hold Police Accountable @ECRBforNYC]

Rally and Press conference: City Council - do you job and hold a hearing on civilian oversight over the NYPD!

[Eric Umansky @ericuman]

NYPD investigators interviewed Officers Davis and Thompson each once.

For 30 minutes.

The investigators never asked about *any of the footage.*

They did ask about the weather.

[Hold Police Accountable @ECRBforNYC]

MUST READ: wonder why despite millions calling for it, substantial police reform hasn't passed? This article explains it all.

“Everybody wants to please the speaker. She’s got immense power.”

"What we have with the speaker is a second executive, who has concentrated power.”

Throwback to last week - powerful photos from @laurabrettxo of our City Hall conference demanding a hearing on The Community POWER Act to establish community-elected and empowered oversight of the NYPD.

Call your council member today and urge them to sponsor the bill.

[Hold Police Accountable @ECRBforNYC]

Taxpayers are forced to subsidize the violence and misconduct of the NYPD.

There is no effective oversight, so families and individuals end up suing to gain some recourse.

Another reason the fight for community control of the police just makes sense. #passthecommunitypoweract

[Hold Police Accountable @ECRBforNYC]

@nytimes we fixed your headline. NYPD members who assaulted protestors in 2020 did so because they knew they could get away with it. And most will, since the CCRB has no binding authority. This is the problem an ECRB would fix, and why it would prevent more police abuse.
