Not only helped put it out, but she lied about it when NYC was forced to investigate it.

Students at Harvard Law School plan to honor the Bronx public defender who was caught lying about her organization’s role in an outrageous anti-cop rap video, The Post has learned.
Robin Steinberg is among 50 female lawyers and policymakers who will be lauded next month as an “inspiration” to aspiring attorneys at the elite grad school.
Steinberg, executive director of the Bronx Defenders, is serving a 60-day suspension after city investigators determined she tried to cover up her taxpayer-funded group’s role in producing a rap video that showed a uniformed cop with guns pointed at his head.
Two underlings were forced to resign over the “Hands Up” video, first reported by The Post.
The DOJ has a grant program named after an assassinated NYPD officer Edward Byrne. The grant program was created to fund efforts to provide greater security for police, in honor of the dead officer. Over time, this program seems to have morphed into something other than for what it was meant. Ironically, this group, the Bronx Defenders, which sponsored the cop killer video, received grant money from Eric Holder’s Justice Department, under the Edward Byrne grant program.
The DOJ has failed to respond to questions on this matter.
