NYPD seems to have more scandals than LA, and that's saying a lot since LAPD scandals and leadership firings seem to be almost as constant as the sunshine.

Ohio governor signs bill to charge public for police video footage
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) signed a new measure into law earlier this week that permits police departments to charge the public to release camera footage from its officers — including dash, body or surveillance video.
“No law enforcement agency should ever have to choose between diverting resources for officers on the street to move them to administrative tasks like lengthy video redaction reviews for which agencies receive no compensation — and this is especially so for when the requestor of the video is a private company seeking to make money off of these videos,” DeWine said in a statement shared with The Hill.

Federal prosecutors won’t seek charges in deadly arrest of Black motorist Ronald Greene
Federal prosecutors told family members Tuesday they will not bring charges in the deadly 2019 arrest of Black motorist Ronald Greene, closing the books on a lengthy FBI investigation into the white troopers who stunned, punched and dragged Greene on a roadside and allegations of an attempted cover-up by the Louisiana State Police.
The U.S. Justice Department informed Greene’s family of the decision as officials were also preparing to release findings from a broader civil rights investigation that found a pattern of state troopers using excessive force, according to two officials familiar with the inquiry. The officials spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they could not publicly discuss details ahead of an announcement expected later in the week.

Officer shot at a man 15 times, bodycam shows. Mayor says he was likely unarmed.
...."I can't conceptualize why they couldn't de-escalate the situation," Tessa King, the mother of Phillips' six children, told News 5.
Police said the unidentified officer responded after multiple 911 calls about a man in the parking lot of Karam's Lounge and other businesses. They released audio from one of those calls, in which the caller said a man had a gun.
In total, the incident was about 20 seconds from the moment the officer stepped out of his cruiser to the second he opened fire. It took about two-and-a-half minutes for officers to make physical contact with the man; that’s when officers handcuffed him, searched him, removed his jacket and shirt and awaited aid.
Based on the available footage, it did not appear that officers recovered a firearm......
....."I never had a gun," the man said, lying on his back and groaning. "I never had a gun."
Officers rolled him over and handcuffed him. Searching for a gun, officers went through his pockets, but they did not appear to find a firearm. After unzipping his jacket and taking off his shirt, multiple gunshot wounds are seen on the man's chest and abdomen.
After the shooting, bullet casings littered the ground. A nearby fence had multiple bullet holes......

‘I thought I was going to die’: Mom files $25M lawsuit after being shot 6 times by Detroit officer
....According to the lawsuit, the confrontation escalated after Allen requested a supervisor during the traffic stop. When her requests were denied, she called 911, expressing fear for her safety. The situation intensified when Officer Melvin called for backup, and Allen was pepper-sprayed.
Allen attempted to drive to the nearest police station seeking help. Video footage obtained by Local 4 News shows two police vehicles boxing in her truck before Officer Melvin allegedly fired six shots.
Detroit’s police chief initially supported the officer’s actions but later reversed course after reviewing body camera footage, stating that Officer Melvin had violated several department policies. The officer has since been suspended without pay.....
