"Some 33 New York politicians signed off on a letter addressed to the top cop, urging her to proceed with a trial against Police Officer Wayne Isaacs for the nearly decade-old killing of the unarmed black man, despite Deputy Commissioner of Trials Rosemarie Maldonado's recommendation to dismiss the charges."
"There's been a lot of talk about her efforts to clean up the NYPD, and this is a very clear test right here. This is a line in the sand, and this is an opportunity to remove someone who clearly cannot do his job and did not do his job and actually murdered someone in front of his family, Brooklyn Council Member Sandy Nurse said."
Family members of Delrawn Small and elected officials gathered outside One Police Plaza to demand that Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch file charges against Officer Wayne Isaacs for the 2016 road-rage killing. Thirty-three New York politicians signed a letter urging Tisch to move forward with a trial despite a Deputy Commissioner of Trials recommending dismissal. Protesters held images of Tisch and Delrawn Small and called for accountability, saying Tisch must justify remaining in her role under the Mayor-elect. Speakers, including Brooklyn Council Member Sandy Nurse, described the shooting as murder and demanded concrete action.
