HEARD AROUND TOWN

HEARD AROUND TOWN:

* The West Indian Day parade scuffle that ended with Brooklyn Councilman Jumaane Williams and an aide to Public Advocate Bill de Blasio in handcuffs has made its way through the NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau, but the two men don't consider it over. Williams, Kirsten John Foy and their New York Civil Liberties Union lawyers have received reports back from the bureau and plan to release them on the City Hall steps at noon. "There's some positives and negatives coming out of it," said one person involved in the planning. "They're going to address the conclusions of the investigation as well as discuss the next steps in the police accountability movement."
