(Mineola, NY) — A controversial proposal in New York would allow Nassau County Police to sue protesters who injure or harass them. More than 40 people spoke out about the bill last night before the county legislature voted to approve it. County Executive Laura Curran hasn’t said whether she’ll sign it. Civil rights activists view the measure as a violation of free speech and payback for last year’s demonstrations against police brutality.
