New York, 7 June, 2020: Two NYPD officers have been suspended without pay over incidents caught on video during protests over the death of George Floyd.
Police Commissioner Shea said in a statement Friday that the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau has concluded its investigations of two cases.
Those officers been referred to the Department Advocate for disciplinary action.
One officer involved in an incident back on May 29 was caught on camera shoving a woman to the ground in Brooklyn.
The following day, another officer was caught pulling down a man's face mask and pepper spraying him.
A supervisor who was on the scene there will also be transferred.
Shea says that while the investigations play out, he wants to assure the public that there will be transparency during the disciplinary process.
He also says the actions of the suspended officers stand apart from the, “restrained work of the thousands of other officers who have worked tirelessly to protect those who are peacefully protesting and keep all New Yorkers safe.”
