New York City wrestles with surge of violent police clashes 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy the Associated PressNEW YORK (AP) — A surge in violent police clashes has left a trail of bodies across New York City, stoking tensions between officers and critics who say they have been too quick to use deadly force. Two days later, police killed a man in Brooklyn after they say he slammed an officer’s head with a chair. “Police violence isn’t new, but abusive and violent policing is out of control in New York City,” said Kang, the director of the watchdog group, which advocated for the firing of all officers in Garner’s death. Of the men shot by New York City police officers in recent weeks, police said three had guns.
