New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority police officers known as Eagle teams have been temporarily pulled from active duty following reports of officers using excessive force during arrests and interactions with passengers. The move comes amid growing scrutiny over the tactics employed by the specialized units, which have been accused of deploying aggressive measures disproportionately against certain groups. Authorities are reviewing internal policies and procedures as investigations into the allegations continue. The decision reflects broader concerns about accountability and the use of force within transit policing.
