A white police supervisor allegedly pressured subordinate officers of color to take people's freedom in order to meet arrest quotas, new court documents say.

New documents obtained by New York Daily News are part of a long-running suit launched by four minority cops, who claim they faced retaliation for not arresting enough people of color as part of the department's unreported arrest quota system.

Sworn declarations from Charles Spruill, a Black officer who retired in 2014, say that officers were repeatedly yelled at to arrest "hard targets," who police allege were Black and Hispanic people.

"On one occasion in the 40th Precinct a white supervisor asked an African-American police officer, 'Are you going to take someone's freedom today?'" Spruill said in an affidavit. "The African-American police officer had no choice but to say, 'OK, boss.'"



The latest document is among some two dozen papers from current and former police officers who have backed a claim that a race-based quota system disproportionately affected minority officers.

Their admissions come in support of Lieutenant Edwin Raymond, who along with other minority cops, filed a lawsuit in 2015 alleging they faced retribution for not going along with the "collar quotas" system.


Let's wait for the denial and excuses.

There is no way the that a top notch LE Official would stoop so low.

What’s wrong with affirmative action?

Blacks and “minorities” need to be represented.
 
It sounds to me like these minority officers didn't want to do their job. It's statistics that there is way more crime in the black population than white, so it would only make sense that the hard targets (as the article calls it) were people of color.

I searched around to find a different report on this suit, but they all say the same thing and none gave a story from the police prospective, only these cops and their phony claim. However even in the OP, it states that their quotas disproportionately affected minorities, not that minorities were targeted because of their race. In other words the most serious offenders in New York (like all across the country) were black. So if this suit has any chance in hell at succeeding, they would have to prove that officers were forced to target people by race and not the seriousness of the crime, or areas that have the highest crime which I can't believe would have ever happened.

It seems to me the only way we will ever get the rest of the story (As Paul Harvey used to say) is when this goes to court and we actually do get to hear the other side. My prediction: This will all be proven as complete bullshit in court. The police will easily prove that they were after criminals, not people of race, but it just so happens (like all across the country) the worst offenders were minorities.

The chief is the supervisor's boss. That's how these things work.
 
More bullshit from the liberal media designed to inflame racial tensions. Lefties aren't going to stop until they turn Times Square back into a sleazy armpit.
Of course that is what it is, there is no way a good, Christian, white cop would ever do anything like this.
Correct. White Christians are the ones who freed your forefathers, you ignorant cocksucker.

So the possibility of the Supervisor doing things behind the Chief's back just can't happen, is that what you are saying?

I think you know the point . It starts from the top and works its way down. You should be outraged at that guy too. Who do you think is giving the marching orders?

And, police quotas are complete authoritarian horse shit. We ALL need to stop them.

He's not much of a chief if his employees are doing shit like this behind his back. Seems like a weak guy.
