Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

At all protests, Assistant Chief James McCarthy (shaved head and red face) is apoplectic.
As a two-star chief, he could order any cop to make an arrest. Nope. He loves to put his hands on people and knock them onto the ground.
Exhibiting barely controlled rage = fast track to promotions in NYC.

NYPD McCarthy grabs someone off the street and uses several cops to bring him down, presumably for being in the road during dispersal order but he was clearly in the crosswalk.
Another person detained states being on the sidewalk.

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up.
Your 70% number is just a fabrication.
And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

The national security adviser is supposed to oversee policy coordination. The secretary of State is supposed to lead on diplomatic negotiations. In theory, neither would be the clean-up crew, because they’re supposed to prevent the mess from happening in the first place.
