Op-Ed: Police, Schoolyard Bullies?
While it would be reckless to make a carpet statement against the entire police force, or just the 71st Precinct, it does not change the feeling I felt when I watched police officers belittle our volunteer patrolmen, Shomrim, by pressuring the victim into saying he wasn’t one hundred percent sure it was those that were in custody that assaulted him, then letting them go.
Now as if that alone wasn’t enraging enough, when we – the gathered crowd – protested this, quite vocally, Sergeant Lenny Signal along with Police Officer Pablo Rivera went ahead and arrested a Shomrim member, one who was vocal about the injustice.
