As Insider previously reported, the conduct of some NYPD police officers has come into question amid ongoing protests over the police killing of 46-year-old George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His death sparked nationwide protests over police brutality, including days-long protests in New York.

On May 30, several videos showed NYPD cruisers ramming into protesters behind a barricade and sending bodies flying into the air during a protest. Voices captured on a New York City police scanner could be heard saying protesters should be shot and run over.

Other videos posted to social media have also raised questions about the police force's conduct amid the ongoing civil unrest.

"Over the past week, as I've said on multiple occasions, we have seen several troubling incidents involving behavior from members of the department that the NYPD is actively investigating," NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said in a statement, according to NBC New York. "These incidents mentioned below are disturbing and run counter to the principles of NYPD training, as well as our mission of public safety."

The New York Police Department did not immediately return Insider's request for comment.
