NYPD officials orchestrated smear campaign of police critic using confidential details of her rape, lawsuit alleges
NYPD officials orchestrated smear campaign of police critic using confidential details of her rape, lawsuit alleges
The accusations from Dana Rachlin, a prominent police reform advocate who once had open access to Brooklyn precincts, highlight a growing rift between the NYPD and criminal justice reformers.
Soon afterward, the lawsuit claims, confidential information about her alleged sexual assault was circulated to community advocates, mixed in with misinformation about the investigation and the notion that she fabricated the attack and falsely accused a Black man of rape.
She had already filed the complaint. How did these dumbasses think this was going to turn out?
They knew that the worst they would happen would be a suspension with pay? None of those people will be personally held liable. She'll probably get a few million from the general city budget after a long lawsuit and those assholes will go on to do something terrible again.
Double whammy!
