CALIFORNIA/NEW YORK, Dec 10 :  The head of the New York Police Department vowed on Tuesday to repair relations with poor and minority communities following the death of a suspect, even as protests over police violence flared across the United States.
The department will retrain its members in nonviolent ways of making arrests, Police Commi-ssioner William Bratton said, adding that he had taken a non-confrontational approach to protests over a grand jury's decision not to charge the officer involved in the controversial chokehold case.     ?REUTERS
