The NYPD Declares Martial Law in Brooklyn

On the heels of three nights of protests over the police slaying of 16 year old Kimani Gray, the NYPD has turned the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn into a State of Exception, claiming emergency powers to suspend the constitutional guarantees of the citizenry.
The people regularly targeted by police harassment and violence, overwhelmingly the city’s poor and minority populations, have taken to the streets to speak out against the NYPD’s draconian tactics. The police have in turn responded with even further harsh measures by suppressing the right of the people to voice dissatisfaction with that very same police force.
Cops kettled protesters at Wednesday night’s candlelight vigil, resulting in 46 arrests. Police even arrested Kimani Gray’s distraught sister, Mahnefeh.
The NYPD euphemistically calls the public spaces in which the Constitutional rights of the people are suspended “frozen zones.”
Allison Kilkenny wrote about the NYPD’s so-called “frozen zones” in December 2011:
“The ‘frozen zone’ is an arbitrary, official police business-sounding title that has absolutely zero legal merit. It’s something the NYPD made up, just as the ‘First Amendment zone’ is something [Los Angeles Mayor Antonio] Villaraigosa made up to suppress media coverage of the Occupy raids.”
According to FIERCE, the “frozen zone” in East Flatbush is being used to prevent media from covering the protests and arrests. Meanwhile, people inside the “frozen zone” can be subjected to arrest merely by exercising their constitutional rights.

I have family in that neighborhood and they have said nothing about this. My wife left there early this morning and I have been MSM'ing with her frequently. Again, no mention. Wassup?

Right on Steve! NY has been commie since day one. Bloomberg thinks he is a dictator, and he is! Nothing but evil.

I feel for everyone in NYC, it is a Berlin type city (circa 1971 East Germany), except Berlin may have had more rights. Either 2 things will work:
Get more people in that city to protest city wide, and totally shut the place down just like East Germany's resident finally did (no garbage, no resteraunts, no service, no gas stations) , until Bloomberg and his goon force walk off the job
Or...move out.
Only speaking to them in terms of economy will get your freedom back. These people can't live on fake interest made up in a computer forever.
Peace.

The NYPD has declared a portion of Flatbush a “Frozen Zone”Friday, March 15, 2013 6:28 AM
The NYPD has declared a portion of Flatbush a “Frozen Zone”, meaning media are not allowed in and people can be subjected to arrest for not following police orders. It basically means the area is under temporary martial law. The last times the NYPD declared a Frozen Zone was on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and during the beginning of OWS.

The question is, is this going to serve as the excuse Cuomo needs to start door-to-door gun confiscations?
