This is why it took me so long to come out with this story. The last thing I want to do is put myself out there only to be dismissed as part of a larger smear campaign (as I was at…

Maybe to offer another insight that is not obvious: When you reach a certain point in an organization, what you do and how it impacts the thing you work so hard for becomes very ob…

I totally understand your skepticism there. Yes, I was totally an idiot for not keeping the notes, not going to the police, etc. etc. If I can offer anything, by the time it got to…

I guess I didn't make this clear enough in the post, but I had no intention of letting the talk go forward unless the presenter could bring up some really solid evidence of some so…

I know it's a hard job...that was part of the point that I think got lost in the whole article. That being said, this intimidation strategy (along with the rampant drug war incarce…

I should add that this was on the eve of the Super Bowl, and the NFL had set up quite the party in Times Square.

As said whiny hipster, I'm actually more prone to agree with you. I had no idea this story would resonate nearly as much as it has--and my driving point was that the NYPD is being …

For the record, as the giver of said advice: I pretty much completely agree.

Actually, that was precisely it. I was in Times Square where there were tons and tons of cops, and not all that many revelers. (It was a really cold night, IIRC.) I heard the comme…
