“At this rate, the total payouts from litigation “At this rate, the total payouts from litigation for 2022 could potentially balloon to over $115 Million Brooklyn NYPD Officer Pedro Rodriguez was involved in one of the largest payouts. The Legal Aid Society released an analysis of data revealing that the City paid out $67,663,389 million in lawsuits alleging police misconduct from January 1 to July 26, 2022. This amount surpasses the $62,093,491 paid out on litigation in all of 2020 and only falls roughly $624,000 short of the litigation payout for the entirety of 2019. At this rate, the City could potentially payout over $115 million in lawsuits alleging police misconduct for calendar year 2022.” Read the rest of our “City Paid Out Almost $68 Million in Lawsuits Alleging Police Misconduct So Far This Year” article, which is linked in our bio.

A year later, on Aug. 3, the community gathered again to listen to each featured “Community Hero” speak as the project came to a close. The year-long public art installation, “Community Heroes,” wrapped up Wednesday at the St. Andrew’s Playground in Bed-Stuy. Large banners showcased local leaders in the Bed-Stuy community – coined “Community Heroes” – with artwork by local artist Yen accompanying each banner.” Read the rest of our “Bed-Stuy’s Everyday Heroes Celebrated in Public Art Installation” article, which is linked in our bio.

“Even in hindsight, Nichole Schmidt can’t be s “Even in hindsight, Nichole Schmidt can’t be sure if anything could have been done to save her daughter Gabby Petito from a messy and violent relationship that ended in murder nearly a year ago in the western wilderness. But there is work to do, she said, to keep alive the memory of her daughter, who was found strangled last September in the outskirts of Wyoming’s Grand Tetons after a cross-country trip turned into a high-profile missing person’s case, then into tragedy and grief.” Read the rest of our “Gabby Petito’s legacy: $100K for domestic violence hotline” article, which is linked in our bio.
