🧵 Files obtained by Reveal and @wamu885/@DCist show how D.C. Metropolitan Police Department officers avoided accountability and remained on the force, even after internal affairs investigators determined they committed crimes. revealnews.org/article/dc-pol…
@wamu885 @DCist The records, which have never before been made public, show:

The department’s internal investigators concluded that at least 64 people who currently serve as MPD officers committed criminal misconduct. revealnews.org/article/dc-pol…
@wamu885 @DCist The department sought to terminate 24 of those officers.

In 21 of the 24 cases, an internal panel of three officers blocked the terminations and instead issued much lighter punishment.

The panel was led by Robert J. Contee, who is now chief of police. revealnews.org/article/dc-pol…

LOCAL REPORTERS: In 2020, a Reveal lawsuit helped unlock an enormous trove of workplace injury data.

Now, for the first time ever, the public gets to see how thousands of U.S. companies fared.

Some context: A federal judge ruled in 2020 that America’s employers must release their injury and illness records. It was a key decision that struck down corporate and government secrecy around worker safety. revealnews.org/blog/federal-j…
Until this victory, journalists had relied on other means — labor unions, former employees — to acquire the documents, also known as Form 300As.

In fact, that’s how we began our multipart investigation into worker injuries at Amazon warehouses. revealnews.org/behind-the-smi…

⚡ This week on Reveal, we’re switching things up and bringing you an audio drama that deconstructs the mystery around a deadly 2009 explosion at a Mississippi shipyard.

This dramatization is based on real accounts, real events and real people. revealnews.org/podcast/when-l…
People like Clyde Payne, a tenacious OSHA director who investigates the tragedy.

Joey Pettey, a shipyard painter who risked his life to save people trapped on board the burning ship.

🧵 NEW: After a Reveal + @MotherJones investigation prompted action in Congress, a major Dominican sugar exporter razed workers’ homes as US diplomats drew near.

“They didn’t tell me anything. They just came and started breaking houses.” motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
The homes were in a settlement in the Dominican Republic known to residents as Batey Hoyo de Puerco, or Pig Hole, and an estimated 230 Haitian cane cutters and their families lived there. motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
The settlement’s demolition is just one of a wave of actions taken by the billion-dollar Central Romana corporation — one of the biggest suppliers of raw sugar to the United States — following our two-year investigation released in September. bit.ly/reveal-sugar Through its sugar exports to the U.S. and other businesses,

Did you know? Our one-hour public radio show and podcast, hosted by @Al_Letson, is the first dedicated to investigative reporting.

Each week, we take listeners across the country and the world, exposing wrongs and holding the powerful accountable. revealnews.org/podcast/?utm_s…
This past year, we produced hundreds of stories, but one story stands out the most:

🎧 #MississippiGoddam 🎧

The seven-part investigation looks into the case of Billey Joe Johnson Jr., a Black teenager who died during a traffic stop with a White police officer. Mississippi Goddam: The Ballad of Billey Joe
As we listened to police interview tape, reviewed crime scene photos, interviewed grieving but relentless family members and looked at what investigators did and didn’t do, we saw some glaring themes:

Indignity.
Apathy.
A lack of respect. revealnews.org/mississippi-go…
