#Abolishment #Defunding and investment into our communities. 

\
Sister Diaspora for Liberation joins almost 70 organizations and family members of those murdered by the police to demand a complete change to the NYPD “discipline matrix” – a publicly available framework for disciplinary penalties and factors the NYPD considers for different types of police misconduct and rule-breaking.

This matrix just serves as a roadmap for NYPD to continue their violent actions without accountability. Instead, the matrix outlines a myriad of loopholes and justifications to protect officers. In short: “NYPD officers who engage in police violence, refuse to intervene or report when they witness other officers engage in misconduct, don’t follow the law, or engage in other abusive misconduct – should be fired. It’s that simple.”
