The civilian review board of NYPD is still shut down by Hurricane Sandy.
That is good news for NYPD that abuse their power and also are discourteous.
The bad news for NYPD is let's say u r up for a promotion -- u can't get it until u r cleared by CCRB.
CCRB has high track record of letting cops walk but the process makes corrupt cops uncomfortable because they do have to go downtown and swear under oath so they open themselves up to possible prosecution let's if they are caught lying.

If u have video links and photos on line than I recommend filing on line and including the links.
If the cop is found guilty he will receive some small punishment but let us say and this is rare to never a cop does incriminate himself under oath -- in theory CCRB is to go to the DA but again the DA -- all DAs except the Bronx has been protecting corrupt NYPD and PBA dealings as it is common knowledge fixing and favors is standard fare and I have witness an attempt by billionaire Rudin's tired retired cop with a PO from the 6 Precinct.
I hear fixing at city hall with at least 3 city council members -- city hall officials and favors from the PBA and NYPD so my point is there is little hope for Justice but it is important to go to CCRB and IA.
There may be a Federal Investigation coming down the road and all our cases could be examined is my hope as well.
ps
Reminder an NYPD PO ticket fixing favors is rotting in jail waiting for his trial to begin -- besides fixing, favors, abuse of power - he with his wife tried to hire a hit man to kill a key witness
