New Jersey social justice groups are calling on the federal Department of Justice to investigate the use of force by the Paterson Police Department — describing this month's death of Najee Seabrooks as just the latest incident in 'a history of excessive force and other abuse.' Paterson police officers shot and killed Seabrooks on March 3 during an incident at his home that community groups have described as an apparent mental health crisis. Seabrooks, 31, had been part of the Paterson Healing Collective, a hospital-based violence intervention program.
