>aimed at helping defense attorneys question the credibility of police officers in court.
Note the purpose of this. To help defense attorneys find kinks in the armor in order to serve their client. Like "He's a great guy but sasses his mother" sort of stuff. If a lawyer can use it, he will.
This is not another HN-likeable article looking for bad cops.

- devishard 10y ago> Take someone like Detective Sekou Bourne, for instance, who is currently being prosecuted in the NYPD’s administrative court for allegedly frisking a woman improperly in East New York and unlawfully entering her home in April 2013 after concluding, mistakenly, that she had crack cocaine in her hand. Seems a little different from "sassing his mother", more like "assault and trespassing". That's only the first example in the article. There are more, and none of them are "sassing his mother".
