NYPD officer driving a van that hit and killed a man in Brooklyn will not face criminal charges

Data shows that NYPD officers hardly ever face criminal charges for killing someone. Since the state Legislature passed a law in 2020 requiring the attorney general to investigate all deaths at the hands of police in New York, just two NYPD officers have been indicted from reviews of 85 incidents since 2021, according to the attorney general’s office. Both were for off-duty conduct.
