Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan said in a written ruling Thursday that the Oct. 1 marchers had adequately backed up their claims that they were not properly warned by officers that they would be arrested on the bridge.
But the judge tossed out as defendants the city, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and police Commissioner Raymond Kelly. He says there was no evidence offered that the city or its top officials had a policy of making false arrests designed to discourage protesting.
Judge Rhymeswith is OBVIOUSLY a hater of this country. He MUST be removed from the bench!
