From page one -
and Jewish civil rights advo
cates called for a meeting with
President Clinton to help “stem
this national epidemic of brutal
ity and abuse,” Hugh B. Price,
president of the National Urban
League, said at a news confer
ence.
Price was accompanied by
NAACP President Kweisi Mfume;
Jesse Jackson; civil rights attor
ney Johnnie Cochran; Abraham
Foxman, national director of the
Anti-Defamation League; Raul
Yzaguirre, president of National
Council of La Raza; Karen
Narasaki, executive director of
the National Asian Pacific Ameri
can Legal Consortium; and Reps.
John Conyers, D-Mich., and
Danny Davis, D-111.
“We need President Clinton to
step up to the plate and provide
leadership. We seek a meeting
and concrete plans on how to deal
with this problem,” Price said.
Recent fatal shootings of young
blacks by police under question
able circumstances in New York,
Pittsburgh and Riverside, Calif.,
have focused attention on con
frontations that pit minorities
against white officers.
But the coalition members said
they want authorities to curb
other types of police harassment,
including the targeting of black
motorists without proper cause,
abuse against Latinos by U.S.
border agents and racial profil
ing, the practice of singling out
minorities for questioning at air
ports, on highways and on streets.
In addition to the meeting with
Clinton, coalition members called
for withholding federal funds from

ous brutality charges, thorough
background checks of police re
cruits and the mandatory estab
lishment of police review boards
with subpoena powers.
Wade Henderson, director ofthe
Leadership Council on Civil
Rights, said he hoped the group’s
diversity could help push Clinton
to meet.
“Today, many national organi-.
zations are speaking with one’
voice in hopes of (Clinton) moving
immediately to address this grow- .
ing crisis,” Henderson said. :
Foxman said he wanted Clinton
to understand the problem of po
lice brutality isn’t isolated.
“Itis most necessary, Mr. Presi
dent, for you not to see this as a
New York problem or a Pittsburgh
problem or a Los Angeles prob
lem, but as a national problem,”
Foxman said. '
In New York, four plainclothes
police officers fired 41 bullets at
Amadou Diallo, 22 and unarmed,
as he stood in the vestibule of his
apartment house in the Bronx on
Feb. 4. Demonstrators have ques
tioned why so many shots were:
fired. :
In Riverside, the December
shooting by police of Tyisha
Miller, 19, who was hit with 12
bullets in the back as she sat in’
her car, has sparked protests by
some claiming the shooting was
racially motivated.
In Pittsburgh, Deron 8.
Grimmitt Sr., 32, was shot to
death after a police chase Dec. 21.
Officer Jeffrey Cooperstein says
he feared Grimmitt would run:
him over, but testimony showed
Grimmitt was shot through the
driver’s side window, not head-on
as might be expected if he were.
