"On October 8, 21-year-old Ehud Halevy was sleeping in a youth center run by the New York synagogue where he's a member. Ehud is homeless, so his Rabbi -- who runs programs for at-risk youth like Ehud -- had told him back in September he could sleep there.
In a video
that's now gone viral on the internet, two New York police officers are shown
waking Ehud in the early morning. Even though Ehud explains to them that he has
permission to sleep at the center, they try to arrest him. Then, the
officers beat Ehud for almost 5 minutes straight -- even after Ehud can
be seen lying down.
And despite the
NYPD's beating, it's Ehud who's being charged with
assault, and he faces 5 years in prison." source: change.org
