Description

Looking at recent stories in the news, we explore an approach to what Halakha might have to say about them. 1. Is the city of Ft. Lauderdale permitted to limit where the homeless can be fed? Is this a quality of "Middas Sedom"? Is civil disobedience warranted? 2. Did the police behave properly in the cases in Ferguson, MO and NYC in which unarmed criminals died on account of their ignoring police instructions?
