City Council Member Tiffany Cabán says NYPD social media attacks are out of bounds

WNYC News

NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell continues to use social media to attack judges, reporters, and now other city officials with whom he disagrees.

Chell recently posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that councilmember Tiffany Caban "hates our city," after she criticized the NYPD arrests of pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia University and City College last week.

City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams is demanding an independent probe into the NYPD’s use of social media following the posts.

Council Member Tiffany Caban, who represents parts of Queens and serves on the Committee on Public Safety, joined WNYC's Michael Hill to talk about Chell's posts on social media.
