Suffolk keeps police officers on the force for years despite determining their misconduct warrants departure, costing taxpayers millions of dollars, a Newsday investigation found.
The county has negotiated at least seven settlements since 2011 that let disciplined officers stay employed just long enough to reach 20 years of service and full pension eligibility, at salaries as high as $270,000, records show.
The agreements — negotiated by the police commissioner, county labor relations director and the influential officers' union — raise questions that county officials refused to answer: why people they wanted gone are allowed to remain on patrol; allowed to keep collecting overtime and allowed to increase their final pension payments.
"This is an alarming practice that nearly completely defeats the purpose of the discipline in the first place," said Josh Parker, deputy director of policy at New York University’s Policing Project.

For Tijuana Fulford, Juneteenth is a reminder of what "freedom feels like." So, this Friday, as the nation celebrates the federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery, her community nonprofit organization will host a celebration in Riverhead featuring soul food delights, a bouncy house, and face painting.
That celebration this week will be a jubilee of joy and healing, followed by another for the Fourth of July. As the daughter of a Marine who fought for the United States, she said, she can’t untwine what the two holidays represent — one that speaks to America’s promise, and the other the conclusion of one of the nation’s darkest chapters.

To celebrate the Knicks' NBA title, clinched with a Game 5 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, New York City on Thursday will host the first-ever ticker-tape parade for the team's championship — and Mayor Zohran Mamdani says the parade could be the biggest the city's ever seen.
"We've been waiting 53 years for this," Mamdani said, adding: "There are many of us for whom a Knicks championship was something that we weren't even alive to see."

Jalen Brunson thrives under pressure in a way few ever have.
Because of that, and my very recent 12-round bout with anxiety, I wanted to learn more about his relationship with pressure so I can continue to better understand myself.
