Tempers flared last night at a City Council meeting when a representative of the police union criticized Mayor Kenneth E. Reeves '72 for making comments earlier this summer about the arrest of a Cambridge youth.
Police Patrol Officers' Association president Detective Frank Pasquarello asked Reeves why he made statements in the June 11 issue of the Cambridge Chronicle regarding the arrest of North Cambridge resident Karim Rashad. Rashad, 19, claimed a police officer assaulted and arrested him at a party because he is Black.
Reeves, who knows Rashad personally, had toldthe Chronicle that he did not doubt Rashad'sstory. "I believe he didn't imaging [the policeofficer's actions]. It's not the result of anover-active imagination," he told the newspaper.
Last night, Reeves stood by his statement.
