Police misconduct voted top story of ’17

Published by

Defense attorneys described some officers as “vigilantes” with a “cowboy mentality.” Reported Porat: “I think they have a complete disregard for the Constitution of the United States, and most importantly, the Fourth Amendment,” said Michael Stachowski, a Buffalo defense attorney. “They just seem to roust kids in the street, chase people, and hope they[...]

More honors for Telvock, Investigative Post

Published by

The environmental reporting of Dan Telvock has been cited for excellence in two national journalism contests.
