Police justified cops’ excessive use of force against a Brooklyn state pol during a protest after the murder of George Floyd two years ago. But state Sen. Zellnor Myrie testified that the officer in question used excessive force.
Car drivers killed at least three people and injured seven others — including an 11-year-old boy struck by the unlicensed driver of an ice cream truck — in separate Brooklyn incidents this weekend, police said.
A pedestrian was killed along a dangerous stretch of Flatlands Avenue in Brooklyn, but Department of Transportation officials suggested she was at fault for crossing "mid-block" — even though the long stretch of roadway where she died runs more than one-sixth of a mile between traffic lights.
