The Spin

Narrative A

Former NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey's alleged actions, as detailed by Quathisha Epps, paint a disturbing picture of abuse of power and predatory behavior. Epps’ claims of coercion, exploitation, and retaliation underscore a systematic misuse of authority. His past accusations of misconduct further suggest a pattern of predation, making a full-scale investigation essential to ensure accountability, justice for victims, and restoration of trust in the NYPD.

Narrative B

While these allegations are serious and should be punished if true, due process is vital to ensure fairness. Jeffrey Maddrey denies coercion and claims any relationship with Lt. Epps was consensual, supported by alleged evidence of mutual communication. The timing of these accusations, coinciding with investigations into Epps' overtime practices, raises credibility concerns. Maddrey deserves a thorough, impartial investigation to uncover the truth.
