The Double Standard of NYPD Leaks

The Patrolmen's Benevolent Association is calling for criminal prosecutions after the latest leak of police disciplinary records – the Civilian Complaint Review Board case history of Officer Richard Haste, the cop who shot and killed Ramarley Graham in 2012. But there seems to be much less attention to the routine release of confidential information about people killed by police, like Graham whose juvenile arrests were reported after the unarmed teen’s death.

WNYC’s Robert Lewis talked to Graham’s mother and reports on this apparent double standard.
