Martin Gugino suffered a fractured skull after being shoved backward by officers at a protest against police violence on June 4. The 75-year-old will continue his recovery at an undisclosed location.

Cariol Horne was fired in 2007 after stepping in to stop a White officer who held a Black suspect in a chokehold.

The officer, 39-year-old David Afanador, was suspended the same day the cellphone video appeared to show him choking a Black man on a Queens boardwalk.

The mayor called the process a reinvention of public safety that will include town hall meetings, canvassing, and outreach to a variety of organizations.

“It’s right back to hiding and ducking and worrying about everything, especially right now.”
