NYC cop cleared of excessive force charges from George Floyd protest, 2 other officers found guilty: report
Fox News
NYPD Inspector Jesse Lance was cleared of internal excessive force charges in connection to a 2020 demonstration following George Floyd's death.
Lance claimed that he used his baton to deliver two blows to Payamps’ backpack, using the least amount of force possible. Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more. Story tips can be sent to danielle.wallace@fox.com and on Twitter: @danimwallace.
The Civilian Complaint Review Board prosecuted the excessive force charges. Payamps testified that he was riding his bicycle away from the protest when Lance confronted him. Then, he said, a group of officers rushed him and arrested him on Washington Ave. near Fulton St. for violating an 8 p.m. curfew.
