History

Historical Context

In February 1999, four NYPD plain-clothes officers fired 41 shots, hitting unarmed immigrant Amadou Diallo 19 times and igniting nationwide protests led by Al Sharpton. The case spurred a federal finding of racial profiling, a $3 million settlement, the 2002 disbanding of the Street Crime Unit, and, by 2014, added to a record of 179 NYPD on-duty fatalities, fueling ongoing debate over aggressive enforcement.
