Community leaders and politicians have stepped up demands for federal oversight of the New York Police Department in the wake of the police shooting of an unarmed African-American man. Yesterday, the Reverend Al Sharpton met with Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch. Sharpton says he urged Lynch to impose a federal monitor in brutality cases. New York Congressmember Charles Rangel wrote to Attorney General Janet Reno about the same thing.
