...take offense at your statement "Without question, New York City police used extreme, sometimes brutal tactics ... at Columbia University." These "brutal tactics" you refer to caused one police sergeant to be hospitalized after students stomped on his chest.

In conference, no matter how tense the situation, he comes off with his delightful cracks."
