NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly gets hot under the collar about National Lawyers
Guild and low number of RNC convictions (only 156, out of 2,000 with 164 still to go). Read the details in this Newsday
article.
City Council Member Bill Perkins held two hearings of the Governmental Operations
Committee following the RNC demonstrations. The hearings focused on the length of detentions and conditions in the
