CBS New York featured Dyson Professor Darrin Porcher in "NYPD Commissioner Stands Behind Officers After Police Clash With Protesters At MLK Day March"
Dozens of protesters were arrested during a violent confrontation with police on Monday in Lower Manhattan. What started as a peaceful march in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. turned into a tense standoff by City Hall. Darrin Porcher, a former NYPD lieutenant and current criminal justice professor at Pace University, weighed in. “Whenever we have these demonstrations that occur without a permit and they block pedestrian traffic and major thoroughfares, such as the Brooklyn Bridge, we need to remove those individuals as quick as possible,” Porcher said.
