The city’s police oversight agency has found 92 NYPD officers used excessive force against protesters during the days-long demonstration after George Floyd’s death in 2020.

In a lengthy report released Monday morning, the Civilian Complaint Review Board detailed instances of excessive force, including the improper use of batons and pepper spray against protesters.

"Protests against police brutality bred more instances of police misconduct," interim Civilian Complaint Review Board chair Arva Rice wrote in the report. "If this misconduct goes unaddressed, it will never be reformed."

The report describes how some officers covered their badges to hide their identities and how they used barricades to stop people from leaving the area, a practice known as kettling.

The board substantiated 269 individual allegations of misconduct against 146 officers, recommending charges and other discipline for them.

More than half of those allegations, 140, were for excessive force.

"We want to make sure that NYPD serves and protects no matter what the zip code is and no matter what the event is," Rice told Errol Louis on "Inside City Hall" Monday night. "We hope and believe at CCRB that this report does lead to additional conversation."

After a May 30, 2020 incident in Flatbush, Brooklyn, several officers gave untruthful statements about driving through a crowd of protesters and use of force, according to the report.

A day earlier at the Barclays Center, there were complaints of police shoving protesters as they were walking and striking them in the head with batons.

"It is up to the police to be able to maintain their composure and to protect and to serve,"  Rice said on “Inside City Hall” Monday. "And it is up to our community members to be able to protest and not have to worry about coming home hit over the head or with their arm pulled out."

In the report, the board also described obstacles it faced in gathering evidence over the years. Among its recommendations are updated and routine training on crowd-control tactics during large-scale events.

In a statement, NYPD says it "respectfully objects" to the board’s characterization of its response to protesters.

"A key element missing from this report is any acknowledgement that officers were performing their utmost duty, protecting the city and its people, under what were often sustained, dangerous conditions," the department said.

Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement that he is happy that the NYPD has already adopted new protocols since the protests in 2020, adding that "many of these recommendations are the same ones identified in CCRB's report."

"I have stated over and over again that there is a sacred covenant that officers be given the tools and support they deserve to do their job, but that they must also follow the law and be held accountable for their actions, otherwise, there is no law," Adams said. "In the years since these protests, the NYPD has taken multiple actions to improve community relations and they will continue to work every day to ensure justice and safety go hand in hand for all New Yorkers."

The protests referenced in the report came in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis in May 2020.

"Everyone was watching George Floyd be murdered because we were all sent home, except for our essential workers," Rice said Monday night. "And so people went to the streets in order to protest. So were emotions running high? Yes, they were, but they were running high on both sides."
