    Heartbreaking news. How much pain can one family take? My thoughts are with and the entire Garner family. May Ben's memory be a blessing.

    Inhumane and dangerous: "...More than 3,000 people were left to boil without AC during the weekend heat wave. There is no temperature high at which city jail housing units are deemed uninhabitable."

    NEW: The Board of Correction, , which monitors conditions at city jails, says the weekend heat wave “makes clear the lack of capacity to humanely house the current population.” Calls for expanding AC ASAP after surprise jail visits.

    "More than sixteen-hundred times in the past two years, the NYPD said there was no video, according to the CCRB. And in 147 cases, the CCRB was told no video existed but found out later that was false. In one case, they saw the video in the Daily News..."

    "If Pantaleo is fired now, it will come after he’s been paid what might be a half million dollars, including overtime, since killing Garner — and after the mayor bought enough time to find his political footing, win a second term and run for president."

    I’m disgusted by this violent attack on a Hindu priest in our borough. Today and everyday I stand with the Hindu community and every Queens family. Even in the face of hate, we will not forget that our diversity is our strength
