Javier Payne will make his first public appearance at the National Action Networks’s weekly Saturday rally this morning. The fourteen-year-old Bronx boy was reportedly smashed through a plate glass window of “Hookah Place” on Arthur Avenue in Belmont by a police officer that had detained him. Rev. Al Sharpton and NAN are standing with the Payne family to demand justice and are calling for the NYPD officers involved in this incident to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Sgt. Eliezer Pabon, the officer in question, was stripped of badge and gun, according to the Daily News yesterday.
