Clarifying Use of Force by NYPD
As the NYPD issued new guidelines on the use of force, the inspector general released a report critical of how the department trains officers and the lack of accountability for officers in violation of current guidelines.
Mark Peters, Department of Investigation commissioner, and Philip Eure, the NYPD's first Inspector General, talk about their findings and how well the new guidelines address the problems they found.
