The Constitution Versus Ray Kelly

A new coalition is ready to take its fight to the commissioner

Also valuably, Communities United is “calling on the New York City Council to pass legislation calling for far more vigorous oversight of the NYPD.”

One of Communities United's members, the New York Civil Liberties Union, has done a lot of research on that accountability. As have other organizations on the list.

And in view of the searing loss of credibility and respect for the NYPD among especially students of color by Kelly’s badly trained, sometimes bullying School Safety Agents, that division needs real-life, real-time oversight from the Department of Education, which, under Joel Klein, relinquished all responsibility and accountability to Ray Kelly.

For additional, much needed educational initiatives by Communities United, its February Week of Action included: “Calling on the Bronx and All New Yorkers to Watch the Cops: Free hands-on Cop Watch training to learn your rights and get tips on how to educate the community and prevent police abuse. RSVP required. For more info, to request childcare, or to register, contact Peoples Justice: info@peoplesjustice.com.”

I will not be surprised if some of the participants in this coalition keep getting anonymous tips from members of the NYPD to look further into abuses of civil liberties and plain human rights.

There are cops who also want more accountability all the way up top. After several of my Voice columns on brutish behavior by School Safety Agents, I got a call from a cop angry at what he called the poor training that School Safety Agents get at Kelly’s direction.

Communities United for Police Reform has given the next mayor a lot to start with to provide the NYPD with ways to regain the respect of New Yorkers of all backgrounds—and to restore the self-respect of the police themselves.

How are you viewing the Constitution--interpreted as 'original intent' or a living organism that changes with the times--not an easy choice

Here is an interesting piece on how to get oversight of police - especially in regards to stop and frisk - start a copwatch team...here's the article: http://theglobaljournal.net/ar...

Where exactly is it we should be looking for Islamic terrorists?

NYC routinely violates every constitutional right there is. They have for years and I see nothing changing there. NYC is not a place I would ever want to visit and I discourage anyone I have contact with from doing so either. It is a festering sore on the face of our country and nothing less that a holdover communist enclave. Bloomberg and Kelley make a wonderful pair akin to Stalin and Beria

It's funny how the liberal left stands by and references the Constitution when they see, from their perspective, alleged violation of individual rights. Where are they, or the Villagevoice for that matter, when Barry Obama routinely does the same thing but on a national scale?

proof? sources?

Read the Constitution once in your life. The President doesn't write law, or raise taxes, that's Congress' job.
