    A case for why we can't trust the police to police themselves. I spent 5yrs tracking NYPD misconduct. The NYPD just released their history of officer discipline. Here's a side by side comparison of what I found (summarized in @jangelooff 2019 article) & what the NYPD found:pic.twitter.com/qblWciZpnJ

    Abdiel Anderson is a veteran police officer who's spent the last decade as a detective third grade in the Bronx's narcotics unit. He's racked up 40 lawsuits in that time, the most of any police officer in the city, according to the database. The department has settled in at least 17 of the federal lawsuits, resulting in taxpayer funded payouts totaling $495,000.

In reviewing his history of alleged misconduct, the Legal Aid Society found that more than thirty lawsuits have been filed against him for alleged use of excessive force. "We've been aware of him for years, but again, nothing is being done," said Ciccolini. "We don't know if he's being investigated internally, but we do know that he continues to arrest our clients."

        David Grieco has come up in 32 known lawsuits, at a cost to taxpayers of $343,252. Highlights include putting a minor in a chokehold, threatening to arrest an aspiring rapper if he didn't freestyle for him, & hauling 6yr old twins to a precinct. No NYPD Discipline.pic.twitter.com/NUTY0J8bOB

        Nicknamed "Bullethead" by the Daily News, Grieco's lengthy history of allegedly violating the civil rights of Brooklyn residents has come up in 32 known lawsuits, at a cost to taxpayers of $343,252. He has been accused of putting a minor in a chokehold, threatening to arrest an aspiring rapper if he didn't freestyle for him, and bursting into a home without a warrant and hauling six-year-old twins to a police precinct.

Meanwhile, Grieco has continued climb the NYPD's chain of command. After spending a dozen years patrolling Brooklyn's 75th Precinct—the most-sued precinct, per the database—he was promoted last year to sergeant, and now works the 67th precinct in East Flatbush. In addition to being the city's second most frequently sued cop, he's one of the NYPD's top overtime earners — in 2017, he pulled in $73,000 in overtime, bringing his total salary to $190,000.

        Disimone has been affiliated with 30 known lawsuits, racking up a taxpayer bill of $672,503. One of which claims officers pulled a naked woman from her bed, pointed a gun at her bf, left them naked and handcuffed in the bedroom & stole $3,100 from the couple. No NYPD Discipline.pic.twitter.com/mNcOLfMhNE

        In more than two decades with the NYPD, Disimone has been affiliated with 30 known lawsuits, racking up a taxpayer bill of $672,503. The most expensive of his many allegedly brutal arrests came in 2012, when he and a handful of other Bronx narcotics officers raided an apartment on 169th Street. The officers were later accused of pulling a naked woman from her bed, tossing her to the ground, and pointing a gun at her boyfriend. After allegedly leaving them naked and handcuffed in the bedroom, the suit claims that police ransacked the home and stole $3,100 from the couple, before bringing them back to the precinct for a humiliating strip search. The couple were released without charges, and the city later settled their lawsuit for $90,000.

        Det. Jodi Brown is named in 30 known lawsuits that cost the city $1,244,500. In one incidents, officers were caught on video beating 19-year-old Jatiek Reed with batons and kicking him as he lay on the ground. No NYPD disciplinepic.twitter.com/17XpQrHQw1

        Yet another member of the Bronx narcotics unit, Brown is a detective third grade named in 30 known lawsuits that have cost the city $1,244,500 in settlements. The bulk of that sum came from a notorious incident seven years ago, in which a gaggle of officers were caught on video beating 19-year-old Jatiek Reed with batons and kicking him as he lay on the ground. Brown was later named in a lawsuit as one of the officers "personally involved" in the beating, and the city ended up paying out $614,500.

        DETECTIVE CARLOS MARCHENA
Command: Bronx Narcotics Unit
Known lawsuits: 28

While Marchena's known suits fall slightly below his fellow Bronx narcotics detectives, he has a leg up on total costs to the city, with an astounding $1,250,001 in affiliated settlements. He's faced numerous complaints of excessive force, and was accused of inflicting "severe and permanent" psychological injury on one Bronx woman, who claims she was violently arrested and falsely accused of drug possession by Marchena. The woman spent nine days in jail before the charges were dropped, and the city later settled for $175,000.

Known lawsuits: 28

Rivera has been a police officer for nearly two decades, and in that time has been affiliated with 28 known lawsuits, resulting in $1,421,000 in taxpayer-funded settlements. In 2012, he was accused of "viciously and unjustifiably" choking Brooklyn resident James Young until he lost consciousness, then handcuffing him to a park bench with "his eyes rolled back in his head and with foam around his mouth." Young fell into a coma and died four months later. The city settled with his window for $832,500, and Rivera faced no known discipline.

        Det. Christopher Schilling has 23 suits. In 2015, he was sued for bashing a suspect's face into the concrete resulting in injuries that required a 3 day hospital stay and falsified drug charges that were later dropped. No NYPD discipline.pic.twitter.com/E1Nas879EW

        DETECTIVE CHRISTOPHER J. SCHILLING
Command: Brooklyn North Narcotics Unit
Known lawsuits: 23

A detective in the Brooklyn narcotics unit for over a decade and trustee on the board of the Detectives' Endowment Association, Schilling has an alleged history of unlawful and violent searches and falsifying drug charges. In 2015, he was sued in federal court for allegedly bashing a suspect's face into the concrete, dragging him into a police van, denying him medical attention, and lying about finding drugs on him. As a result of the arrest, the victim said he spent three days in the hospital vomiting and urinating blood, and was later diagnosed with an acute kidney injury. The drug charges were dropped, and the city settled the ensuing complaint against Schilling for $47,500.

        Need I go on or is it pretty clear? This is why we needed transparency. Not because it would show which officers where disciplined but because it would show how officers aren't disciplined.

        Gov't databases aren't going to save us. Police data is never going to show the truth of the problem. We have to track this ourselves. It's why we started The Full Disclosure Project at @NACDL (shameless plug) to set up db across the country to track police misconduct

        But that's just a small part. We have to continue to push for accountability and a move away from policing.
