Article Excerpt:

From [HERE] It was standing room only at the National Action Network Headquarters in Harlem on Saturday, as the Reverend Al Sharpton and community members turned out in a show of support for Laverne Dobbinson.

Her son, Tamon Robinson, was a Brooklyn man who allegedly died from his injuries after he was hit by a police car. "We deserve justice because my son did not deserve to die like that," said Dobbinson.

Police say Robinson was in the street allegedly stealing paving stones when they spotted him early on April 12. That theft charge was later dropped. His family says he was mowed down by police in front of his home in Canarsie.

Doctors told them Robinson was brain dead by the time he was brought to Brookdale Hospital, where he later died.
