Three homeless men filed official notices on Monday that they were preparing to sue the City of New York for harassment by police who cleared them out of homeless camps and threw away their belongings. Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, which is representing the men, said, "Homelessness is a tragedy, not a crime. No matter how much pressure the city is under to address homelessness, all people deserve to be treated with basic humanity." The three men - Floyd Parks, Timmy Hall and Jesus Morales, are seeking damages for mental and emotional distress and their trashed possessions, including a social security card, birth certificate and family photographs. http://bit.ly/1IuHZDF http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
