NEW YORK — Nearly 150 cops violated NYPD rules during George Floyd protests — and the tally would likely be substantially higher were it not for officers covering their badge numbers and their supervisors losing track of where they were assigned, according to a scathing report released Monday by the Civilian Complaint Review Board.
During the 2020 protests, 146 cops violated NYPD rules 269 times, with 34 demonstrators struck with batons, 28 pepper-sprayed and 59 roughed up with physical force, the report says.
But there were 609 additional allegations that were closed because CCRB investigators were never able to identify the officer involved.
