Speaking Of Wandering Into Frozen Zones . . .
Mayor’s just-have-a-beer-together advice largely ignored:
Posted: September 9th, 2011 | Filed under: Well, What Did You Expect?At a Council meeting, Councilwoman Melissa Mark-Viverito called the mayor’s remarks “insulting” and “dismissive” and said that they ignored the “cold, hard fact” of racial bias.
. . .
On Monday, Councilman Williams and Mr. Foy were arrested after they walked into a “frozen zone” near the route of the West Indian Day Parade. Mr. Williams and Mr. Foy have said that they had been given permission to walk in the area. An amateur video shows Mr. Foy being thrown to the ground, while he appears to be retreating.
