"Debate Sparks Over NYPD Stop of Central Park Five Exoneree Yusef Salaam"

Councilman Yusef Salaam's recent traffic stop by the NYPD has sparked debate over the need for the How Many Stops Act, which would require cops to document every investigative encounter with civilians. Salaam's allies claim that he asked the officer why he was being pulled over, but police body camera footage does not capture this interaction. The incident has drawn criticism and support for Salaam, who is also facing backlash from some politicians. The Council is set to override Mayor Adams' veto of the How Many Stops Act, as the debate over police stops and accountability continues.
