New York, NY - FBI Probes GOP Convention Arrests By NYPD

New York, NY - The FBI wants to hear from protesters who may have been wrongly arrested during the Republican National Convention, and it’s asking for help from a civil liberties group to do so.

It’s part of a criminal civil rights investigation of the NYPD.
