New York Police Department officers detain a protester during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Manhattan, New York City, US November 5, 2020. REUTERSPIX: The New York City Police Department on Tuesday agreed to scale back its enforcement of street protests like those that erupted after the death of George Floyd in 2020, enacting a series of reforms including banning the tactic known as “kettling.
Police will also create a new senior executive role to oversee responses to demonstrations, allow the press more leeway to cover marches, and create a four-tiered response to protests designed to deescalate conflict and prevent excessive use of force, according to a filing in US district court for the Southern district of New York.
Those suits were filed in response to a raucous summer of protests in 2020 when police cracked down on demonstrations against police brutality and in favor of African American rights after Minneapolis police killed George Floyd on May 25, 2020. Similar protests rocked cities across the US.
