Answers demanded in NY police
A group of several hundred protesters took to New York's Wall Street on Thursday as anger over the fatal police shooting of a young black man increases.
The mostly African-American demonstrators, many of whom accused New York's top politicians and police of institutionalised racism, appeared outnumbered by a large assortment of police officers. Despite moments of tension, the event passed off without any violent confrontation.
Sean Bell, a 22-year-old father of two, was killed in the small hours of what was supposed to be his wedding day, at the end of November.

Liberia: Journalist Badly Beat
On 13 October 2006, a senior radio producer at a community radio station in Grand Gedeh County, southeastern Liberia, was badly beaten by four officers of the Liberia National Police on assignment with the county's police detachment.
Journalist Edmond Garley of Smile FM was beaten by the policemen while covering the 13 October riot that resulted from the death of a cyclist in the county's administrative headquarters in Zwedru.
Garley had gone to the local police station to cover the arrest of several rioters, but was ordered by Detachment Commander Anthony Wilson to vacate the premises.
According to Garley, as he was walking out of the station, four police officers, allegedly acting on the orders of their commander, followed him and attacked him.
Garley said the policemen punched him in the jaw while shoving him to the ground, then kicked him and hit him twice on the chest with a heavy stick.
According to reports, the incident took place in the presence of the acting superintendent of Grand Gedeh County, Tally Dweh.
When contacted, Dweh confirmed that the journalist had been beaten.
Garley told CEMESP's contact in Grand Gedeh County that he was beaten because the police did not want him to report on the inhumane treatment that was being meted out to the rioters taken to the police station.
