    The commissioner of the city’s Department of Social Services says he’s “deeply troubled” by the situation and a “thorough” review is underway.

    A witness says security guards confronted Jazmine Headley, who was sitting on the floor because of a lack of chairs. They called police when she refused to leave.

    Commissioner Steve Banks says the Human Rights Administration officers involved are on leave, and will be put on modified duty when they return to work.

    The New York Police Department is also investigating.

    Typical, some ingrate throws a hissy fit, then when removed as a nusiance or threat to others. 1-800 Get A Lawyer. She will surely sue, and you and I will pay.
    Using her child as a shield is a crime in and of itself

    #6 Well, I am an old retired soldier. I am perfectly willing to hurt people. I expect a different mindset from a policeman. Policemen make bad soldiers. Soldiers make bad policemen.
