The New York City Council is considering a bill that would require the NYPD to grant direct access to bodycam footage to the CCRB, the city's police watchdog agency. The police can't be trusted to police themselves. We must keep fighting for police transparency and accountability.

By arresting a child with legal status at a routine check-in, ICE acted with brazen cruelty, broke U.S. law, and violated the Constitution. The Trump administration should expect to keep seeing us in court if they continue to punish people for following the rules.

Our response to @NYPDPC Tisch's decision to flip the guilty verdict for Lt. Rivera after the NYPD's judge and Deputy Commissioner said to fire him for his role in the murder of #AllanFeliz. #FireJonathanRivera!
The graphic is of a photo of Allan Feliz. His headshot is centered and surrounded by watercolor illustrations of flowers. The background is black and the text at the bottom says Justice for Allan Feliz #FireJonathanRiveraThe background is of a photo of Allan Feliz holding his child. The text in the graphic, highlighted, underlined, and circled partially in red says:

Police Commissioner Tisch’s refusal to fire Lt. Jonathan Rivera for murdering Allan Feliz during an illegal traffic stop is yet another failure of a racist system that protects unchecked police power and dehumanizes its victims. 

With this outrageous preliminary decision, Tisch overturns the guilty verdict issued by NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner. Police violence will not end until there are real consequences for the officers who kill and for the institutions that enable them. 

We demand justice for Allan, and we call on the Mayor and Commissioner to fire Rivera.
