The Legal Aid Society called on Mayor Bill de Blasio, New York City Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Dermot Shea, and others to fire Detective Fabio Nunez, a Neighborhood Coordination Officer ostensibly tasked with community outreach and forging bonds with neighborhoods, on the two-year anniversary of the Civilian Complaint Review Board substantiating complaints against Nunez for using an illegal chokehold and employing a taser without provocation thirteen times on Tomás Medina, a Legal Aid client, reports The Intercept.

“Policymakers are trying to make changes to remedy the situation, but ultimately, when individual officers are not actually held accountable, all of these policies don’t really add up to much,” said Molly Griffard, Legal Fellow with the Cop Accountability Project at The Legal Aid Society.

“NYPD has shown that it is just not capable of policing itself. We have a department with a widespread, rampant culture of impunity. To actually hold police officers accountable, you need to get NYPD discipline out of the NYPD.”
