[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2730968, member: 7629"] that would be true most of the time .. there's data that supports most lawsuits/settlements involve a tiny percentage of cops. for those folks that have the bad luck to run into those select officers .. it could be bad news indeed ... Why Its nearly Impossible to Indict a Cop [url]http://www.thenation.com/article/190937/why-its-impossible-indict-cop[/url] ============ EXCLUSIVE: Detective is NYPD's most-sued cop, with 28 lawsuits filed against him since 2006 (SEE INTERACTIVE GRAPHIC) The number of claims against the department doubled over the past decade to a record high of 9,570 filed in 2012. A Daily News review of lawsuits reveals that 55 officers in the 34,000-person department have been sued 10 or more times during that time period. Read the suits and see the settlements of NYPD's 12 most sued with our interactive graphic. February 16, 2014 Detective Peter Valentin (top) and (from left) Detective Vincent Orsini, Sgt. Fritz Glemaud and Detective Warren Rohan are among the 55 NYPD cops who have been sued at least 10 times over the past decade. Richard Harbus for New York Daily News; myevent.com; David Wexler for New York Daily News Detective Peter Valentin (top) and (from left) Detective Vincent Orsini, Sgt. Fritz Glemaud and Detective Warren Rohan are among the 55 NYPD cops who have been sued at least 10 times over the past decade. [url]http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/lawsuits-nypd-double-decade-costing-taxpayers-1b-article-1.1615919[/url] They're the NYPD's most-sued cops, and Peter Valentins their king. Valentin, a hard-charging Bronx narcotics detective whose online handle is PistolPete, has been sued a stunning 28 times since 2006 on allegations of running slash-and-burn raids that left dozens of lives in ruins while resulting in few criminal convictions. The city has paid out $884,000 to settle cases naming the stocky, 36-year-old detective, but he doesnt seem too concerned. Im not aware of that, he scoffed at a Daily News reporter when told of his claim to shame. Once it goes to court, I dont follow it. The Bloomberg administration routinely dismissed the relevance of civil suits against the NYPD, even as the number of claims against the department doubled over the past decade to a record high of 9,570 filed in 2012. The suits cost taxpayers more than $1 billion dollars during that time period. They had a see no evil, hear no evil attitude, said former city Controller John Liu, whose repeated calls for analyzing lawsuits were ignored. A months-long News review of lawsuits against the NYPD over the past decade shows that 55 officers on the 34,000-person department have been sued 10 or more times during that time period, costing taxpayers more than $6 million.
