Update - All Charges Against Ehud Halevi Have Been Dropped

I recently wrote about this incident and am so thankful to learn that all charges against homeless man Ehud Halevi have been dropped. Thanks was issued to over 100,000 people that signed the Change.org petition from Rabbi Moishe Feiglin.

Andrew Cuomo: No Law Maker Pay Raises Until Marijuana Decriminalized

Yes, you did read that headline correctly...

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has been very vocal about the issue of decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana of residents in New York. Thousands of people in his city each year are criminalized, disproportionately black and latino, and Cuomo thinks that the "crime" of small possession is outweighed by the constraints and costs of the punishment.



Now Governor Cuomo has come and said point blank, "I would not even consider — even consider a pay raise — unless the people's business was being done in a thorough, responsible way," which referenced his "People's Agenda" and includes the decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana possession and a small pay wage increase for citizens.

NYPD Brutally Attack and Beat Homeless Man Ehud Halevi In Synagogue

The NYPD is under fire again - guess why...

You can see in this video that the violence and the extent of the violence was completely uncalled for. They need to be fired after all of the charges are dropped. Watch the video and if this pisses you off as much as me, be sure to read and sign the Change.org petition below.

Sign The Petition

On October 8, 21-year-old Ehud Halevi 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.

Rabbi Moishe Feiglin feels terrible. This happened at his synagogue’s center and to one of his congregants -- and he just wants Ehud's nightmare to end. Rabbi Feiglin started a petition on Change.org calling for the Brooklyn District Attorney to drop all charges against Ehud.



So far, the NYPD officer who was most involved in Ehud's beating has only been minimally disciplined -- his gun has been taken away and he's been placed on desk duty -- but the other officer hasn't been disciplined at all. Rabbi Feiglin says this is unacceptable. Ehud was eventually arrested and charged with trespassing and assaulting an officer, even though the video shows he didn't fight back.

In the past several months, several tapes of NYPD officers engaged in disproportional and violent exchanges have drawn heat to the department. With pressure rising, Rabbi Feiglin thinks that the support of thousands of people behind Ehud now can get the charges against him dropped.

Thanks for being a change-maker,
