July 4, 2002: Nevar Forget
Friday, July 4th, 2008Six years ago today, there was a riot at Rockland Lake. Clarkstown Police became six-figure salary lifeguards and broke-up the crowd that had gathered at the closed pool. People were pepper-sprayed and a cop got hurt.
The issue? The deep end of the pool was closed because it didn’t meet health standards, despite sharing the same water.
Never forget!
