The Subject: An NYPD lieutenant who obtained a risqué dance from a rookie officer at a vacation get together.
I’m unsure how most individuals really feel, but when cops need to let off just a little steam in a enjoyable manner, it’s effective with me (“In the line of booty,” Dec. 20).
These individuals put their lives on the road every day. Who amongst us ought to decide their frivolities?
We, as a rustic, have far more to concern ourselves with.

Lt. Nick McGarry is aware of higher than to take pleasure in such lapse of judgment. The rookie officer knew higher than to behave within the sexually charged method that brought about this brouhaha.
A spouse is publicly humiliated and embarrassed by her husband’s abysmal conduct. The leaking of the footage of the risqué lap dance was intentional and accomplished to actual most hurt. Mission achieved. The leakers have to be so happy with themselves.
Congratulations! You all behaved poorly and it will likely be endlessly immortalized on the Web.
The takeaway: Suppose earlier than you act. Depart the raunchy lap dances and skimpy outfits to your vital different and behind closed doorways.
Christmas events for work should not for getting your drink and twerk on. The onus is all the time on you.

I used to be sorry to examine Lt. McGarry getting punished for his minor act of indiscretion.
The punishment for him appears particularly troubling now as a result of it occurred at a time when the murderer of Officer Irma Lozada has been set free of jail (“Killer paroled in officer’s ‘84 homicide,” Dec. 20).
This can be a time when all members of the NYPD ought to attempt to stick collectively. Due to this fact, punishing a devoted lieutenant for one thing that’s basically innocent (and was accomplished off-duty) appears fully mindless.

The Subject: A College of Southern California pupil who tweeted threats of violence in opposition to Zionists.
There’s something actually Orwellian a few College of Southern California pupil “variety, fairness and inclusion” senator calling for, in essence, Holocaust II (“USC student ‘diversity’ senator under fire for tweet threatening to kill Zionists,” Dec. 18).
It’s no much less disturbing that the USC administration’s response to her tweet “I need to kill each motherf - - king zionist,” which may very well be considered as a risk of violence in opposition to Jews, and should chill college students’ free speech on campus, is to shrug its shoulders.
Would comparable threats towards different minority teams be equally tolerated? Or are Jewish and pro-Israel college students uniquely relegated to second-class standing at California’s main universities?

Greater than 60 USC college members despatched a letter to President Carol Folt, condemning her very public silence within the face of this specific risk to each Jewish individual within the USC neighborhood.
Had an an identical homicidal risk been made in opposition to the black or feminine neighborhood, that perpetrator would have been faraway from the USC campus in a nano second or sooner.
This can be a perverse anti-Semitic silence that devalues Jewish lives within the USC neighborhood.
