Ray Kelly Receives Bull Connor Award as City Waits to See if He Orders Arrests of Protesters Today

The 2011 Bull Connor Award was delivered to NYPD's Ray Kelly at Columbia University.

On Tuesday afternoon, November 29th, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly spoke in the seminar class, Urban Public Policy at Columbia University.

This occasion attracted students, along with protesters from Occupy Wall Street and New Freedom Fighters against the New Jim Crow carrying out non-violent civil disobedience, in the movement to Stop "Stop & Frisk."

This group greeted Ray Kelly inside the School of International Policy and Affairs (SIPA) to present him with the "Bull Connor Achievement Award" for outstanding service to the white community.  

The certificate stated: Congratulations: Raymond Walter Kelly. Thank you for following the inspiring example set by Theophilus Eugene "Bull" Connor in never relenting in hounding Blacks and Latinos, persecuting Freedom Fighters, and keeping the city safe for upper class White Men.

The award was delivered by a Columbia University student who thanked Kelly for the special privileges his administration affords him as a "heterosexual white male." The student remarked "my wealth feels very secure here as well as my privileges."

Although Ray Kelly was unable to accept at this time he will have another opportunity to accept this award TODAY at the December 2nd Citywide Day of Student Action to Stop "Stop & Frisk". 

Today students from schools and colleges throughout New York City will rally at Pace University's downtown campus at 3 p.m. and march to One Police Plaza in protest of the NYPD's "stop and frisk" policy.
