I've never seen this site before, so I don't know how reputable they are, but can anyone collaborate this? If this is what is going down, this could start some major bad stuff! More at link.
The NYPD Declares Martial Law in Brooklyn

(Before It's News) On the heels of three nights of protests over the police slaying of 16 year old Kimani Gray, the NYPD has turned the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn into a State of Exception, claiming emergency powers to suspend the constitutional guarantees of the citizenry.
The people regularly targeted by police harassment and violence, overwhelmingly the city’s poor and minority populations, have taken to the streets to speak out against the NYPD’s draconian tactics. The police have in turn responded with even further harsh measures by suppressing the right of the people to voice dissatisfaction with that very same police force.
Cops kettled protesters at Wednesday night’s candlelight vigil, resulting in 46 arrests. Police even arrested Kimani Gray’s distraught sister, Mahnefeh.
The NYPD euphemistically calls the public spaces in which the Constitutional rights of the people are suspended “frozen zones.”

Have found some other links that seem to support this story
Gist is that after 3 days of 'riots' over the police killing of a 16 year old boy who a witness says was on the ground and empty handed, martial law was declared for parts of Flatbush.

So are we looking at NYC version of Rodney King?

Before It's News ("People Powered News®") is a citizen journalism outfit, where anyone can write something and have it go up. Or at least, that was the intention - it was promptly flooded with conspiracy theorists and is now an outlet for gibbering lunacy. The Skeptical Humanities blog finds it a rich source of idiocy for their "This Week In Conspiracy" series.
