NYPD has some serious problems

Posted by David Hardy · 28 September 2010 05:44 PM

When an attorney sets up a webpage to advertise his willingness to represent officers suing NYPD after being sanctioned for failure to meet quotas or for complaining of corruption, things must be getting pretty serious. And here's a pdf of the latest lawsuit's complaint. It alleges that the officer was sanctioned for failure to generate 20 traffic summons a month, that he was ordered to approach and detail people sitting on steps in a high crime area, to arrest them if he heard them cuss, and that after he complained to Internal Affairs he was harassed, stalked, and thrown into a mental institution for six days, based on false reports.

If any measurable part of the allegations are provable, I could see a jury writing some very long numbers on a verdict form....

Many, if not almost all of the allegations are provable because Schoolcraft taped them all. The show "This American Life," on NPR had extensive excerpts from his tape recordings, including one from when he was labeled as emotionally disturbed and sent to the psych ward. Listening to the tape, Schoolcraft comes off as very composed and lucid; able to answer questions clearly and articulately. I think this is one the NYPD would be well advised to settle for the full amount. If it goes to the right jury, I think Schoolcraft could end up getting substantially more.

I wonder what Schoolcraft is going to name his yacht, but I know NYPD's going to be making the payments.
