Top officials of NYPD guilty of “humiliation”, “unprofessional” posts on social media that attack critics
A pair of highly ranked New York police chiefs Injury to the Politics of the Department when they made “humiliation” and “unprofessional” posts on social media to attack civil servants and journalists, according to a report published on Tuesday by an independent monitor.
The NYPD Inspector General’s Office has hid the deputy commissioner of the KAZ Daughtry department and his current best membership member John Chell for posts divided last year on the Social Media Sacrificial Media platform, which has served “reduce high -ranking officers for public eye -eyed laws.”
The posts were coincided with the efforts of the department to “control the narrative” by creating their own media apparatus and people who are considered to be hostile goals of the department.
Investigators have cited several representations of “inappropriate” internet behavior, including a post from Chell’s official X account accusing the New York judge that he enabled the “predator” to be loose New York City Streets. He later admitted to criticizing the wrong judge.

Chell also attacked a progressive member of the City Council as a “person who hates our city” after criticizing the NYPD response to anti-Israelic protests at the Faculty Campuses.
When he re -attacked a member of the City Council, Chell told his followers to “vote on the change you are looking for”, for which report he records he can violate the Hatch Act, which prohibits the political activity of government employees working in connection with federal programs.
At the very least, the internet attacks launched the basic internal guidelines, investigators said.
“They violated the policies of the departments related to being polite and civic and asked questions about whether they could be considered forbidden to engage in political activity by city employees,” the report said.

NYPD spokesman said the department made “significant changes in his social media practices” since the investigation was launched last year, but did not say whether any officials would face the consequences for the violation of the Department’s policy.
In several cases, both Chell and Daughtry gave mocking nicknames to reporters, who were accused of spreading misinformation of administration achievements.

A spokesman for the City Council, a X -ray Desamurs, said that the probe made it clear that NYPD “must reconcile her social media practices with the established city policy and maintain strong supervision to ensure respect.”
“To ensure that the social practices of NYPD are appropriate and respected requires that the department believes that they have been found to have violated responsible policy,” Desamours said.
The Inspector General said in a report that internet attacks stopped after the investigation was launched last year, although this is not due to official changes in social media policies.
“Instead, the department recognized that he could respond effectively to criticism without creating a public return,” the report said.
