"I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me... All I ask is that you respect me as a human being."
Jackie Robinson
Another New York police officer is being tried on charges of sodomizing a suspect with his baton. The
officer's defense team says the man's injuries don't match the described attack.
This is a particularly disturbing case especially considering
the police attack on Abner Louima in 1997 where officer Justin Volpe plead guilty.
"When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every Americanwas to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "I have a dream."
