Catholic cops?

3. Of NYPD killings of Black (Hispanic & Muslim) males, how many convictions of criminal liability were
brought against police officers?

4. What jail time was served by cops - if any - for killing Black (Hispanic & Muslim) males?

5. What departments within the NYPD investigate killings by the NYPD? What is the average
length of time devoted to these investigations?

them.

7. How many FOIA (Freedom of Information) requests have been answereD by the NYPD?

8. How many ex-cops are employed by the 'Civilian' Complaint Review Board?

10. How many 'Civilian' complaints have been substantiated by Police Commissioners to whom
'C'CRB complaints are sent for final review and possible action? (Did the 'C'CRB really toss out
800 of the people's complaints in one day in 2007?)

11. What direct or indirect involvement does the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association have in the
investigation of NYPD police killings of civilians?

12. What procedures has the NYPD adopted to prevent its officers from adding to the dispro-
