NYPD disciplinary records are disclosed for nearly 4,000 active officers that show 20,000 substantiated allegations of abuse of authority and 244 chokeholds
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - ProPublica published The NYPD Files, a database disclosing the disciplinary records of nearly 4,000 officers and 12,056 complaints
- The database only includes active duty officers who've had at least one substantiated allegation
- It excludes allegations deemed 'unfounded' by the Civilian Complaint Review Board in New York
- A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the CCRB, the police department and other entities from disclosing disciplinary records
- Critics have argued that the public seeing unproven or false complaints could worsen civilian-officer relationships
- Supporters have noted a long history of poor transparency from the NYPD while protected under the recently scraped 50-A law
