Finkelstein comments : On 9 October 2017, two Nassau County detectives barged into my apartment in the dead of night without a search warrant. I was only wearing my boxer drawers. I refused to put on clothes. Like Emmett Till’s mother, I wanted the world to see how these barbarians carry on. (https://www.youtube.com/watch ?v=4V6ffUUEvaM) They pinned me up against the wall and handcuffed me. For the next 18 hours, I was relentlessly brutalized by these thugs. The next day at 2:30 pm I came before Hon. Judge William Hohauser. He was shocked! He was appalled! How could I be wearing my boxer drawers in court?! He demanded $7,500 bail. He ordered that I get a full psychiatric evaluation (I just received the notice today; see below). But it did not shock or appall the Hon. Judge that, of the 45 inmates who came before him that day, 40 were African-American. That’s civilized! That’s sane! It doesn’t shock or appall him that Nassau County is a filthy, racist enclave where the entire criminal justice system, from judges to district attorneys to prison guards, is whiter than the Ku Klux Klan, while virtually all the prisoners are black ( https://projects.newsday.com /long-island/unequal-justice- part-1/) The only thing that shocks and appalls the Hon. Judge is that I showed up in my drawers. Needless to say, it never occurred to the Hon. Judge to ask me what happened. Far be it for a judge to let a defendant speak. That would be so uncivilized.
