 If you were walking down Christopher Street, if you were in complete drag or facial drag, they would come and stop you. And then people would say, leave her alone, she wasn't bothering you, you know. People stuck up for one another, but yet you got harassed by the cops. And not just harassed, but arrested, often during these raids. The police officer who led the raid that night was Deputy Inspector Seymour Pine. He died in 2010, but a few years earlier, he described to WNYC what happened next.
