Naiquan Pritchett says he was devastated when he lost his job in construction about four months ago. His bills quickly mounted and he now lives in a Long Island shelter for men. “I had been doing construction for nine years,” Pritchett said.
The crunch is seen in suburbs around the country.
Northeast of Atlanta, foreclosures rose 77 percent from 2008 to 2009, said Suzy Bus of the Gwinnett County Coalition for Health and Human Services. About 60 percent of the county’s homeless are children 9 and younger, she said.
“People equate homeless to a guy under a bridge, but it’s a lot more complex than that, and it permeates much further into our society than a lot of people realize,” Bus said.
When families lose their homes and relocate, their children’s schooling can be disrupted. Some move into extended-stay hotels that cost about $175 a week, but that sometimes exposes them to criminal activity like prostitution and drug deals, Bus said.

Officer Jose R. Rios is the LGBT Liaison assigned to Chicago’s 23rd District. He describes police-community relations, as being “in really good standing; and it is continuing to grow. We deal a lot with the [LGBT] Center on Halsted, right next to my district. We also deal with the Howard Brown Health Center, and work closely with the North Halsted Merchants Association.”
Thayer disavows that last sunny assessment. “If you’re a businessman on Halsted Street who contributes to the city administration,” he says, “then things are probably fairly good for you.”
If, however, you’re a young African American (the target of numerous complaints by local gay business owners), “Your life is considerably different if you can’t afford the bars and you just hang out on the street,” Thayer says. “We hear over and over again allegations of prostitution; and those all are focused exclusively on the youth – not their alleged patrons. The latter have got the money to patronize the bars. There’s not only a racial thing going on here, there’s a class thing.”

Sharpton Vents At Holder After DOJ Drops Cop Shootout Probe
Civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton rebuked Attorney General Eric Holder for the Justice Department’s decision today to abandon an investigation of three New York City Police Department officers involved in the fatal shooting of an unarmed man.
The DOJ said in a news release there was “insufficient evidence” to pursue civil rights charges against the detectives who shot and killed Sean Bell and wounded his friends, Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield, outside of a strip club on Bell’s wedding day in 2006.
Detectives Michael Oliver, Gescard Isnora and Marc Cooper shot at Bell and his friends 50 times after reportedly overhearing remarks that led them to believe the men were going to commit violence. The police officers were acquitted by a state judge of all charges stemming from the shooting, which ignited community outrage.

Sean Bell, 23, was killed and two friends injured outside a strip club after his bachelor party in November 2006. His death outraged New York’s black community, who contended that no white suspect would have been shot so many times, if at all.
In April 2008, a New York state judge cleared two of the officers of manslaughter and a third of reckless endangerment. Federal authorities then launched a separate investigation that could have brought civil rights charges against the officers.
…
On the night of the shooting, the undercover officer who fired first, had followed Bell and his two friends to Bell’s car believing they went to fetch a gun to settle a dispute at the strip club. The police officer opened fire after being grazed by the car as Bell attempted to drive away.

Federal authorities will not pursue charges against the officers involved in the fatal shooting of Sean Bell, the unarmed bridegroom who died in a hail of police bullets outside a Queens strip club just hours before his wedding.
Prosecutors said there was “insufficient evidence” that Bell’s civil rights were violated when undercover officers unloaded on a car carrying Bell and two friends on a Jamaica street in November, 2006.
Three officers were acquitted in 2008, including Michael Oliver, who police said reloaded while firing 31 of the 50 shots that filled the vehicle and surrounding streets.
…
Bell, 23, and two friends, Trent Benefield and Joseph Guzman, had piled in Bell’s car after leaving a bachelor party at a Queens strip club when they were confronted by a team of police officers who thought they were retrieving a gun to settle a score at the club.

NEW YORK — The Rev. Al Sharpton says there will be no federal civil rights case in the New York City police shooting of Sean Bell.
Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn had been reviewing the shooting of the 23-year-Bell, who was gunned down outside a Queens strip club on his wedding day in 2006. Four police officers were acquitted of manslaughter and other charges in 2008.
Bell’s supporters had lobbied prosecutors to charge the shooters with violating Bell’s civil rights.
But Sharpton said Tuesday the family was told no case would be brought.
Prosecutors had no immediate comment.
The officers — undercover detectives investigating reports of prostitution at the club — said they opened fire because they thought one of the men was reaching for a gun, firing 50 shots at Bell’s car. No weapon was found.

… I think he’s more like an alter-ego,” Dildarian said. “I think if you followed me around you’d be a lot less entertained than when you follow Tim.”
Dildarian doesn’t have any experience with hookers, drunken priests, rabble-rousing coworkers, or most of the things Tim encounters in his daily life. Instead, he comes up with ideas for Tim’s world by drawing on his experiences living in New York when he was 25, and adding the bizarre conflicts he wished – or wonders if – could have happened.
“The show is very character driven; it’s about getting inside people’s heads and thinking of things through, like, a stripper’s point of view or a homeless person’s point of view,” Dildarian said. “I typically do not engage in these conversations in real life, but here is a young guy having detailed conversations, if not arguments, with hookers and a priest and cops, and finding the humor.”

The apparent decision not to charge the three detectives in this case is thus not surprising, but it is nonetheless disappointing for the family who lost the 23-year-old Bell to a hail of 50 police bullets just hours before he was supposed to walk down the aisle with fiancée Nicole Paultre-Bell.
“They said they were limited by statutes and evidence,” a distraught William Bell, Sean’s father, told the Daily News after he met with prosecutors. “I’m not a lawyer, what can I say. My son’s dead, and they can’t do anything about it. He can’t even rest in peace.”
The Nov. 25. 2006, shooting sparked massive outcry across the nation, with civil-rights advocates leading protests and demanding what they perceived to be just convictions for the detectives who shot and killed Bell. Bell had been outside a strip club with two friends after his bachelor’s party when undercover cops investigating reports of prostitution at the club apparently misheard their conversation and thought one had a gun.
