In February of this year another NYPD misconduct case was brought to trail.

One officer admitted that he saw his partner assault the victim and this still was not enough to convict.

“A New York City police officer accused of sodomizing a man with a police baton in a subway station was acquitted today of all charges — despite the testimony of a fellow cop who said he witnessed the assault.

Two other officers were found not guilty of covering up the alleged assault on body-piercer Michael Mineo, who said Officer Richard Kern assaulted him with a baton after catching him smoking marijuana inside a Brooklyn subway station.

Mineo, who is suing the city for $440 million, said he was resigned to the decision. “I kind of had a feeling it was going to turn out this way,” he said. “If you want to commit a murder, join the NYPD.”

The trial failed to elicit the public outrage that past police brutality trials have produced in New York City. “
