In New York, police inspector Andrew Lombardo is facing scrutiny after it emerged that Lombardo served as a prison guard at Abu Ghraib during the time of the prisoner torture scandal. New York City activists have long accused Lombardo of excessive use of force, arbitrary arrests and intense questioning. Lombardo was active in the coordinated crackdown of Occupy Wall Street. Lombardo now works with the NYPD’s new Strategic Response Team, which is assigned to protests, particularly Black Lives Matter actions.
