"We live in a world that's highly surveilled. We are pretty much on camera at all times, and especially inside of a police station for someone to behave like that, this is someone who doesn't care. I can imagine what this person might do off camera."
"After the CCRB process, who has the final say? It's like you investigate yourself, how can we expect accountability?"
On Aug. 3, 2025, a civilian saw an NYPD patrol car driven by Officer Quran McPhatter operating unsafely through a crowded park, yelled for the officer to slow down and asked for his badge number. The officer told the civilian to mind his own business, opened the car door and appeared to pepper spray him before driving off. The civilian went to the 72nd Precinct to file a complaint, where McPhatter confronted him, was pulled away by other officers and refused to identify himself. The civilian said he worries about personal safety because the officer has access to his address. Months later McPhatter is accused of slapping a 60-year-old man in handcuffs. Complaints against McPhatter date back to 2006. McPhatter was charged with assault, official misconduct, attempted coercion and menacing, released without bail and ordered to return to court on March 25, 2026.
