A Boston tourist says in an exclusive NY1 report that he is scarred for life after a New York City police officer allegedly brutalized him during an arrest last month. NY1's Jeanine Ramirez filed the following report.
When Anthony Daly of Boston visited the city last month, he walked around normally. But his leg was broken in three places on December 27, the night he was taken into police custody at a Midtown hotel, and now doctors now say Daly may never walk the same way again. Source

Free Temporary Protected Status help
From:
Director of External Relations
Kingsborough Community College
On Saturday, February 6 from 9:30am to 2pm, Kingsborough Community College’s New Americans Center will offer FREE hands-on help to Haitian immigrants seeking Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The U.S. government, at the urging of President Obama, offered this special status after the earthquake in Haiti to the tens of thousands of Haitians living here illegally, allowing them to stay and work in the United States for 18 months. Attorneys and legal advisers will be on-hand at Kingsborough to provide FREE and confidential services. Please bring documents for all seeking TPS including passports, photo identification cards, and any other immigration documents. The event is FREE and open to the public. B49 or B1 bus to last stop. Free parking on campus. Call 718-368-5600 for an appointment.
NYPD caught on tape
The footage is grainy but one cop can clearly be seen pulling back his leg and slamming his foot into the man, while two others land blows with their fists.

Sarcastic Grilling and Combative Witness Mark Trial of Three Officers
The lawyers asked Mr. Mineo, 25, to scream as he said he did that day in October 2008, and to stand up. They told him to put his hands behind his back so jurors could see what he would have looked like while being handcuffed, and made him hold up the underwear he was wearing that day, with the hole he says was made by a police officer’s baton being rammed between his buttocks

More Racism from local bloggers
The ditmas park blog is promoting a smear that black men are somehow sex offenders on the prowl in Flatbush. In fact statistics show that the majority of sex crime offenders are middle age white males. As seen here on the "to catch a predator" picture gallery, the vast majority of the predators are white males. Why is the ditmas park blog pushing this propaganda & racist smear of black males as "scary predators" when the facts clearly show that the people we in Flatbush should be looking out for are middle age white males?
WE LOVE YOU HAITI Rally
Beginning at 11:00 on the morning of Saturday January 30, 2010 a massive gathering of supporters will begin their march from the corner of Church and Rogers Avenues passing through the hub of Haitian-American community. The procession will culminate with an information rally and cultural expressions at the Plaza of Medgar Evers College. Organizers of the march recognize that the magnitude of this catastrophe is inconceivable and people are overwhelmed by the innumerable disaster relief initiatives. The “Haiti We Love You” rally will provide updates and connect people to local initiatives that are happening in the community. With a visible response by people in the streets, “Haiti We Love You” provides the opportunity to convey to the Haitian people that they are not alone in their struggle to rebuild and our continued prayers and support go out to them.
