Gonzalez brings probe of social distancing enforcement
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez has opened a probe into allegations of excessive force in the arrest of people accused of not social distancing. One viral video shows police restraining a 15-year-old in East New York last weekend. The teen was allegedly part of a group of four not maintaining social distancing, according to CBS2. The arrest of one of the three is now being probed by Gonzalez to see if the cops involved should be disciplined or face federal charges. The teen’s family held a press conference outside the 75th Precinct on Wednesday afternoon.
