\n Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday defended the push to app<\/a>rove a state law to release disciplinary files of police officers \u2014 saying cops should be treated the same as other government workers whose records are open to public inspection.<\/p>\n

Cuomo said Monday he and the Legislature will be \u201cjust reversing an exemption\u201d that shields the disciplinary records of police officers under investigation for misconduct.<\/p>\n

The powerful police unions in New York for years blocked action in Albany on such legislation \u2014 but that was before the massive protests and outrage over the the police brutality case in Minneapolis, where George Floyd died as a cop kept his knee pinned to his neck while in custody.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just fairness and equity across the board,\u201d said Cuomo, noting that teachers and other public employees disciplinary records are publicly accessible.<\/p>\n

He said the criminal justice package that he will sign into law after passing the Legislature later this week will include a ban on chokeholds, making it a crime to file false police reports based on race following the Amy Cooper scandal in Central Park, and codifying cases where the state attorney general<\/a> investigates a suspect\u2019s death in police custody. The governor five years ago approved an executive order for the state attorney general to pursue such cases.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe protesters are basically right\u2026People are saying enough is enough. Bring reforms to the criminal justice system, bring reform to policing,\u201d the governor said during his coronavirus press briefing at his Manhattan office.<\/p>\n

Asked why he didn\u2019t change the 50-A law in the past, Cuomo repeated that his office issued a legal opinion advising New York City and other local governments that they could release personnel records of an officer under investigation<\/p>\n

\u201cDo I feel 50-A is a straw man for local governments? Ok, strike it down as a straw man,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said this a moment in history where police and criminal justice reforms can take place.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow is the time,\u201d Cuomo said. \u201cCarpe momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n

State legislative leaders said they will move quickly on the police accountability bills.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack New Yorkers, like all residents of this state, deserve to know that their rights, and lives, are valued and protected by our justice system,\u201d said state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe legislation that will be passed over the coming days will help stop bad actors and send a clear message that brutality, racism, and unjustified killings will not be tolerated,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Assembly Majority Leader Crystal People Stokes (D-Buffalo) said the accountability measures don\u2019t mean lawmakers are \u201canti-police.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are anti-bad police. We understand the job of law enforcement is not easy. But I submit to you being black and brown in this country is not easy,\u201d she said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
