From [HERE] In February, a Manhattan judge gave the city 60 days to turn over 13 years of the internal documents generated whenever a city police officer opens fire on a civilian.
The judge, Emily Jane Goodman of State Supreme Court, ruled that the reports, covering roughly 850 shootings, be given to the New York Civil Liberties Union, which said it planned to make them public.
Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said on Feb. 22 that the police were poised to turn over “whatever the court says we should.” Mr. Kelly had touted his administration’s practice of making public each year a firearms-discharge report that is a summary of police shootings, though it does not include the documents covered in the judge’s ruling: the detailed investigatory reports done within 24 hours of each shooting, and other, more extensive reports, completed within 90 days.
But quietly, on March 21, the city filed plans to appeal the ruling to the Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court.
