State study finds no racial pattern in deadly force by police
A New York gubernatorial commission report states there is no evidence that race drives police use of deadly or physical force. It praises internal investigations, critiques exaggerated police brutality claims, and cites five fatal incidents from 1983 and 1984 involving officers and black victims, led by ex U.S. Attorney Paul Cuomo. The panel emphasizes restraint and says race is not a significant factor in shootings.
