An NYPD inspector was cleared of internal excessive force charges stemming from a 2020 George Floyd protest, while two other officers were found guilty by the department, according to a new report. 

During his trial at NYPD headquarters in March, Inspector Jesse Lance testified that Kedwin Payamps and other bicyclists acted as "obstructionists" in blocking officers from carrying out their duties on June 4, 2020, during a demonstration in Clinton Hill, where crowds hurled bottles at police. 

Lance claimed that he used his baton to deliver two blows to Payamps’ backpack, using the least amount of force possible. 

The Civilian Complaint Review Board prosecuted the excessive force charges. Payamps testified that he was riding his bicycle away from the protest when Lance confronted him. Then, he said, a group of officers rushed him and arrested him on Washington Ave. near Fulton St. for violating an 8 p.m. curfew.

Lance, a 24-year veteran of the force, was accused of initially making misleading statements to the CCRB by claiming he could not identify himself on video of the incident, the New York Daily News reported. But the inspector later said he read 1,700 documents about the demonstration and watched the video more than 100 times afterward. 

NYPD Judge Jeff Adler rejected the board’s request that Lance lose 30 days vacation pay and be placed on dismissal probation, instead recommending the inspector be found not guilty. 

Then-NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell approved that recommendation on July 16, the Daily News reported, citing a quarterly report released by the CCRB on Aug. 21.

Lance’s attorney, Lou La Pietra, told the newspaper the charges over the Floyd protest were "exaggerated" and the not guilty finding was "based on common sense and the proper application of Police Department rules and law."

"Inspector Lance did nothing wrong and he was rightfully found not guilty," La Pietra added. 

Lance, assigned to a housing command in Brooklyn, was also acquitted at a department trial in 2019 following allegations he barged into an apartment and confronted a family after a shooting outside. 

Meanwhile, Det. Corey Johnson, who also worked the Floyd demonstration in Clinton Hill, was found guilty of excessive force charges after being caught on camera shoving former WNYC Radio journalist Nick Pinto to the ground while trying to clear the block. Pinto reportedly was not injured. Sewell ultimately docked Johnson five vacation days. 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Saturday pushed back on criticism from the White House over her recent comments saying she would vote against funding the government if the House of Representatives does not open an impeachment inquiry against President Biden.

House Republicans are considering a vote on whether to open an impeachment inquiry into the president over allegations of corruption for overseas business dealings with his son Hunter Biden, who Republican lawmakers say used his father's status when he was vice president to influence business deals in Ukraine and elsewhere.

Greene said she would refuse to vote for any government spending to avoid a shutdown if the House elects not to open an impeachment inquiry.

"The White House is attacking me for demanding an impeachment inquiry before I’ll vote to fund one penny to our over bloated $32 TRILLION dollar in debt failing government," Greene wrote in a thread on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

"We have the evidence they have desperately been trying to hide to just ask the question," she continued. "Should we inquire? Should we just take a look? Dare we investigate further? The answer is YES but the White House is outraged at my audacity to demand it."

The White House reacted to remarks Greene made at her Floyd County Town Hall on Thursday, when she said she would not vote to fund the government if Congress does not vote on an impeachment inquiry into the president, defund "Biden's weaponization of government," eliminate any COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates and eliminate U.S. funding for Ukraine's war against Russia.

A spokesperson for the White House said Greene was part of the "hardcore fringe" of the Republican Party.

"The last thing the American people deserve is for extreme House members to trigger a government shutdown that hurts our economy, undermines our disaster preparedness, and forces our troops to work without guaranteed pay," spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has indicated he would move forward with an impeachment inquiry into Biden and his family's foreign business dealings, but only if there is a formal House vote, which could come as soon as this month when the legislative session resumes.

The deadline to fund the government is September 30 and McCarthy has told House GOP colleagues that he expects to move toward a short-term measure to avoid a government shutdown while the Republican-held House and Democrat-held Senate attempt to come to an agreement on a long-term budget.

The government's new fiscal year begins on October 1, when funding approval is required to avert closures of federal offices.
