Week in Review

On Thursday, VOCAL-NY showed up to demand the firing of NYPD Officers Brendan Thompson and Herbert Davis for the killing of Kawaski Trawick while he was cooking in his own home. A disturbing draft NYPD report is recommending dropping charges against the officers. This cannot stand! No New Yorker is safe so long as the Mayor and the NYPD Commissioner do not hold officers accountable for their actions !
