Hello, beautiful readers! We’re back with another edition of the Bronx News Roundup on this lovely Thursday. These are the Bronx stories we’re following today, starting with the weather: Mostly sunny, clear, high of 75.

The Big Bronx Story from yesterday was the arraignment of police officer Richard Haste who was charged with manslaughter for shooting unarmed teenager Ramarley Graham in Wakefield in February. The Times story does a good job of summing up the arguments. Prosecutors say Haste acted with unjustified force, shooting an unarmed young man who did not appear to be a threat. Haste’s lawyers say Haste and other officers on the scene believed Graham was carrying a gun and that Haste fired his gun because he believed his was in danger of being killed by Graham.

Graham’s parents, family and friends attended the arraignment, so did several cops and union reps who were there supporting Haste. The Post reports that when Haste left court after posting $50,000 bail, the officers cheered him on, while the victim’s supporters chanted, NYPD, KKK, how many kids did you kill today?” This could get ugly, which brings us to …

Patrice O’Shaughnessy, the Daily News’ Bronx bureau chief (and good friend of the Bronx Youth Journalism Initiative!), puts the shooting into a broader Bronx perspective, linking it to deteriorating police-community relations due to controversial stop & frisk and calling on the mayor to step in and mediate before things worsen.

The New York Lawyers for Public Interest have filed a lawsuit aiming to stop online grocer Fresh Direct from moving into a new headquarters on the south Bronx waterfront.
