I have found myself quite saddened since the death of Ken Thompson, Brooklyn's district attorney, at such a young age, too. What was so amazing about this decent man was he was able to work as an ally and an adversary of the police. He was the quintessential negotiator. His pledge was to restore racial justice to his constituents in Brooklyn, and he sought to mitigate the damaging effects of over prosecution, some of which were implemented by Charles Hynes. His legacy would have proven more good deeds. He leaves behind a wife, two young children and a community which mourns his death. He will be missed!
