New York: 'No more cop killings'  
 
 
 

Militant/Brian Taylor

Thousands of people--many of them Haitian--from New York and New Jersey converged at Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn, New York, to participate in an April 20 protest against cop brutality. Above, students from Mount Sinai School of Medicine, who took a near-hour train ride to join the march, line up with others as a contingent. "We organized this action because the community called for it," in response to the killing of 26-year-old Patrick Dorismond by New York cops, said Daniel Simidor of the Haitian Coalition for Justice, which sponsored the protest. "These cop killings are not accidents, but a matter of policy," he said.
