Hartford Police are accused of violating the 1973 agreement during a fight between two HPD officers and two Puerto Rican brothers. The fight took place outside a bar on Park Street, where the brothers claim that one of the policemen threw the contents of a paper cup at them, instigating a fight. Neither party ends up arrested, however the Puerto Rican brothers claim that the police officers broke the law and should be held accountable. The Puerto Rican community felt “very strong about the decision not to seek warrants against the policeman,” speaking to the need for an independent police-civilian review board to take civilian complaints seriously. ²¹
