For Immediate Release

 New York, NY (October 19, 2016)  – “The police shooting in the Bronx is atrocious and should not be dismissed. The need for an overhaul in police training and a review of those qualified to become police officers is apparent and must be dealt with. We cannot return to a city of Eleanor Bumpurs type shootings that we fought many years ago in the same borough. The Mayor and Commissioner O’Neill should meet with those working to remedy this for years. Commissioner O’Neill’s statements were good and responsible but should be the beginning of the overhaul and systemic change, not the conclusion of this case.”
