‘They Took Me in the Back and Made Up Charges’: Black Man Goes to Report Buffalo Cops — They Hit Him with a Fake Drug Charge Instead and Now the City’s Paying Big for It

A Black man from upstate New York was pulled over by police for reasons never explained to him – ending up falsely arrested for possessing crack cocaine and mocked by the local media – after daring to file a complaint against the Buffalo cops who had pulled him over.

Now Bruce McNeil is about to receive a $700,000 settlement for having his rights violated by multiple officers who lied and retaliated against him for standing up to those lies.

One of those officers, John Davidson, went on to become president of the local police union, where he represents 700 police officers from the Buffalo Police Department and isb frequently quoted in local media about police issues.

The other cop, Patrick Garry, went on to become a detective. Both cops who have each been sued three times by citizens they have arrested make more than six-figures each.

1. The article doesn't say what the officers accountability was. The city taxpayers paid 700,000$ because of dirty cops

2. Dirty cops should not be tolerated. Fire them.

[flvegan]

3. So no consequences for filthy cops, taxpayers pay the settlement. Sounds about right.

America, you are soooo fucked up.

6. Despite being a reliably blue city, and having had a Black mayor for several years,

and having good universities, Buffalo has a serious systemic racism problem in the police department and in the public schools.

After the mass shooting of Blacks at a supermarket a few years ago, several Black leaders have demanded changes and are getting some results although it has been a slow process. Buffalo's NPR station has been holding regular programs to discuss the issues and develop solutions.

4. The National Law Enforcement Accountability Database

was set up by the Biden admin to track cop activity (good and bad) nationwide.

5. The cops make "more than six figures?"

So atleast a million dollars?

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

7. Six figures is 100,000.. they make.more than $100,000

[Renew Deal]

8. More than six figures is 7 figures or more

[ProfessorGAC]

10. I Think Common Parlance Is...

...that over 6 figures means >$100,000.
When someone make a million, the same convention would suggest 7 figures.

[Renew Deal]

13. Common parlance is that someone making six figures is making $100K or more

They should have said the people are making six figures”

Either way, thanks for entertaining my ungrammatical grammar wars.

9. Well paid racist thugs backed by a racist thug self -corrupted union.

Only union I do not support.

...the union head is a guy accused of corruption on several occasions & had a citizen complaint list about a mile long.
Yet, the rank & file keep electing that slimeball.
Like you, that's a union I can't support.

12. It's disgusting.
