New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing the New York City Police Department and its leadership for what she considers "illegal and harmful conduct" during the protests this summer related to the death of George Floyd.
Patrick Lynch, president of New York City's Police Benevolent Association, said what the city witnessed in the June 2020 protests was "a failure of New York City's leadership."
"They (city leadership) sent cops out to police unprecedented protests and violent riots with no plan, no strategy and no support," he said, according to CNN. "They should be forced to answer for the resulting chaos, instead of pointing fingers at cops on the streets and ignoring the criminals who attacked us with bricks and firebombs."
"No question the NYPD engaged in a pattern of excessive, brutal, and unlawful force," New York AG Letitia James said.
