LatinoJustice Demands Accountability by NYPD After Caban's Resignation
New York, NY – New York City Police Commissioner Edward Caban resigned from the police department on Thursday, a week after federal authorities raided his home.
In light of this new, LatinoJustice PRLDEF has released the following statement that can be attributed to Andrew Case, Supervising Counsel at LatinoJustice PRLDEF:
“New York City Police Commissioner Edward Caban should have resigned months ago, when it was clear that he would not hold officers accountable for horrific misconduct. His one-year tenure has left nothing but a monumental disaster at NYPD. Hundreds of opened cases of officer misconduct have been tossed out, leaving many in our community without justice. We are currently suing the NYPD for its failure to take any action against an officer who was caught on video tasing a man on the ground. We demand that Interim Commissioner Donlon take immediate steps to hold officers accountable for their misconduct, as it appears the FBI is interested in holding Commissioner Caban accountable for his.”
