City to Give Crown Heights Family 95G for ‘Hate’ Raid
CROWN HEIGHTS — The city has agreed to pay $95,000 to a Hasidic family whose Crown Heights home was raided by the NYPD after a racially charged attack on a cop’s son.
Jacob and Leah Ezagui say cops kicked in their door at 1:45 a.m. on April 15, 2008, rousted them and their five kids from bed, and busted one son despite not having a warrant.
Hours earlier, two young Hasidic men in the neighborhood had attacked black college student Andrew Charles in what cops called a hate crime.
Cops grabbed Aron Ezagui, 22, and demanded to speak to his brother, Menachum, saying one attacker had jumped into Menachum’s car, according to a suit filed in Brooklyn federal court. Aron was arrested but released without charges.
The prime suspect, Yitzhak Shuchat, is believed to have fled to Israel, cops said.

It seems that Blumberg realy wants to win the elections.
But its a good thing that the police need to pay for what they did – it will prevent from further.
I don’t know too much about the elections
but everyone should remember what happened after we all voted for dinkins-
