Meet victim’s best friend. An adorable new “comfort dog” is helping victims and witnesses open up to prosecutors in Queens — allowing them to fetch the answers they need to put criminals behind bars.

Lawyer for keffiyeh-wearing, pro-Palestinian protester questions arrest under local face mask ban
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) — A lawyer for a pro-Palestinian protester charged with violating a New York county’s face mask ban for wearing a keffiyeh scarf questioned Wednesday whether his client’s arrest was justified. Xavier Roa was merely exercising his constitutionally protected free speech rights as he led others in protest chants last month outside Young Israel of Lawrence-Cedarhurst, an orthodox synagogue near the New York City borough of Queens, attorney Geoffrey Stewart said following Roa’s arraignment in Nassau County District Court in Hempstead. Stewart said the county’s Mask Transparency Act, which was signed into law in August, bans mask wearing if police have reasonable suspicion to believe the person was involved in criminal activity or intends to “intimidate, threaten, abuse, or harass” anyone. He questioned whether Roa had been attempting to conceal his identity, as police claim. Stewart noted his client had the Arab scarf draped around his neck and only pulled it over his face shortly before his arrest, meaning he was readily identifiable to officers for much of the demonstration.
