One of the most hotly disputed investigations into police brutality in New York City is moving forward. The New York Post reports that a grand jury has recommended indicting Robert Kern, a 25-year-old police officer, for assault. Kern is alleged to have sodomized Michael Mineo, 24, with a police baton. Two of Kern’s fellow officers face what the paper calls “lesser charges.” On October 15, Mineo led officers on a chase into a Brooklyn subway station. When the officers caught him inside the station, Mineo says he was assaulted. Mineo’s testimony was backed up by a New York transit cop. "This man . . . doesn't deserve to be on the street," Mineo told The Post when informed of the pending indictment against Kern. "I want him to go to jail."
