Angered by the alleged torture of a man by New York police officers, several hundred protesters marched Friday to the Justice Department to urge an investigation of police misconduct nationwide and creation of a federal data bank to track brutality allegations.
“What has happened in New York City is not an isolated incident. It is a problem that is eating away at the core of this country,” said Samuel Nicolas, cousin and spokesman for Abner Louima.
Louima has been hospitalized since the alleged attack Aug. 9 inside a Brooklyn police station bathroom. Four officers have been charged.
