New York's Attorney General has released her first report on allegations of the NYPD's use of excessive force against protesters last month.

In the report, Attorney General Letitia James lays out several major proposals to bring transparency and accountability to the NYPD. tHEY range from decriminalizing more minor offenses to creating an oversight board that could discipline cops, as well as hire and fire the police commissioner. James also says the NYPD is the only city agency that can make or change rules without public input.

"Why is this one agency treated so differently than all of the others? And that is the question that we need to address," said James.

Most of the recommendations would require city or state legislation. Mayor de Blasio's press secretary, Freddi Goldstein, says City Hall disagrees with the proposal to create an oversight commission, saying that "more bureaucracy is not the answer." An NYPD spokesman called the report "a political and not an investigative document."

James says the investigation is ongoing.
