NYC Community Safety Act Stands
NYC Council has spoken loudly and has overridden Mayor Bloomberg's vetoes of two bills aimed at reining in the New York City Police Department's controversial use of stop and frisk.
The mayor was upset after the council passed the Community Safety Act earlier this summer. It sets up the office of the inspector general-- which will act as a watchdog over the NYPD--and makes it easier for New Yorkers to sue if they've been racially profiled by police.
