“I became another statistic of NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg’s infamous stop-and-frisk policing, later deemed unconstitutional by [a] US District Court judge…At the time, I was a tenured associate professor of English at a state university in Connecticut, a married homeowner, and a father…I sued the city for racial discrimination and police misconduct, winning a modest settlement…The next time I was arrested, I was not so lucky. Nor was I guiltless.”
