Even the article couldn't help calling out auditors for being confrontational assholes, but for what it's worth, Reyes doesn't act like typical auditors. He's polite and cool headed. He's assertive while still attempting to deescalate situations. He's the least confrontational auditor I've ever seen. What's compelling about Reyes's work isn't the video showing that the police in the NYDP were acting like assholes and breaking the law, but that he then follows up with formal complaints, lawsuits, and revisits to see what's changed.
I love that there are people willing to risk their safety and freedom and invest the kind of time and money it takes to follow through using the legal system. It'll either change things for the better or at least let us know how bad things really are and where more reforms are needed.
