Dear Dr. Niman,  

Below is a letter I wrote to Matt Gryta, and his response.

Dear Journalist,

   I believe that your Novemer 25th article on the Critical Mass incident contained  falsehoods.

  I am fairly certain that abuse of power among police is a significant problem in this city. This opinion is based upon personal experience, as well as credible confidential disclosures I have received, and other recent incidents documented publicly, such as the bogus traffic holdups on Humboldt Parkway.

  What I find most appalling is that you charged Michael Niman with biting a police officer after he was acquitted of that charge. I believe that you should either offer a retraction of that statement, or provide new evidence that lends support to your assertion.

Yours truly,  

John Bartley
