50 is calling for action after a New York state judge threatened to shoot Black teenagers at a high school graduation party.
Earlier this week, police bodycam footage of the incident was released following an investigation. Videos show State Supreme Court Justice Erin Gall telling the Black teens to leave the party following a scuffle over uninvited guests. A judicial watchdog panel ruled Gall should be removed from office. The panel said Gall “repeatedly invoked her judicial office,” while attempting to get the Black teens arrested.
The State Commission on Judicial Conduct issued its report on Monday (July 22). The report recommended the judge’s dismissal and found Gall “created at least the appearance that she harbored racial bias,” during the incident on July 1, 2022.
