74-year-old Beaten By Miami Police


Please read this news story concerning the beating of 74-year-old community activist, Bernard Dyer, in Miami, Florida by Miami police. This man, a war veteran who has suffered severe mental disabilities due to military service , has been beaten nearly to death after a call was made to the police reporting that he was rambling through the hallway of his apartment building. He had earlier that week spoken at a major news conference called by several civil rights organizations around Miami. Something must be done and I urge everyone to be on the phone to the Miami Police Department lodging complaints.
