Meanwhile, in New York, protests erupted after a new video has surfaced in the case of the fatal off-duty police shooting of an unarmed Brooklyn man on the 4th of July. Delrawn Small was driving with his girlfriend and two children through East New York when he and off-duty police officer Wayne Isaacs had a confrontation while driving. The police initially claimed Small got out of his car and punched Officer Isaacs in the face. But a grainy, black-and-white surveillance video of the intersection that was just released shows Small approaching Isaacs’ car. Isaacs then opens fire within one second. Small stumbles away and collapses on the street between two parked cars. Isaacs then gets out of his car and appears to tuck his gun into his waistband and then walks away. On Saturday, more than a dozen people were arrested during a march against police brutality. Activists blocked traffic across Manhattan, including on the FDR Drive. We’ll have more on the Delrawn Small case after headlines.
