Funny you mention 2002. In that year my father was arrested on a bogus warrant. My father is a tall Scilian man man standing over 6 feet tall born on Mulberry and Hester streets. He was arrested on a warrant for a 5 foot, 6 inches tall Puerto Rican man with tattoos wanted back in San Juan. They held my father at the 62nd police precinct in Bath Beach, Brooklyn, then sent him to the Tombs on Skimmerhorn Street. They held me for 3 hours, forcing me to sit on the steps of my apartment building while asking me about my father, I was 15. The brutality is there, and it’s alive and well.
