Reporte the lawsuit claims minority officers are punished more severely than white cops for failing to meet quotas. The city denies it. And the community are suffering the most. Reporter because .

On storm tracker, you can see the approaching snow making its way from the west. This little storm system that isnt nearly as potent as the one that just passed. We wont see drastic increases of wind but another quick hit of snow especially west of town. Snowfall potential, not looking for any accumulating snow in the five boroughs or points north of that to about white plains, but white plains and northward we could see as much as a half inch, two and a half inches in poughkeepsie. Maybe well see an inch or two for most locations north of the city. Once we get past that morning snow, going into the midday their home opener, its not going to feel like baseball weather at all.
