It took over a year, but finally Matachin and other political groups in the village managed to secure a town hall meeting with some of Mayor Lindsay's top brass.

So on a raucous night in nineteen sixty six, Mayor Lindsay's chief of police found himself publicly ambushed at a neighborhood meeting in the village.
voice-verified
Person after person in the audience rose to question him directly about entrapment.
voice-verified
What about these plain clothesmen?

A young man in the crowd asked, who come into places dressed in tight pants to lure people into explicit acts.
voice-verified
The police chief blankly quoted the department's usual line that entrapment was a violation of police procedure.

But another person in the audience quickly pointed out that his response was plainly naive at best.
voice-verified
Yet another person stood up.
voice-verified
It's alarming, a woman said, that the chief inspector doesn't know a large number of police spend their duty hours dressed in tight pants, sneakers, and polo sweaters trying to bring about solicitations.
voice-verified
This brought a round of cheers and applause from the assembly hall in a single voice.
voice-verified
The police chief could not have known that these seemingly unconnected people in the audience had all been organized by Dick Leash and Matachin.
voice-verified
He also could not have known that the New York Post was about to publish a series of articles highlighting entrapment by the city's Vice Squad.
voice-verified
Soon the New York Times was running its own stories too, based on tips by Matain members.
voice-verified
The campaign by Matachin and other activists of pressuring police leadership and engaging the media was starting to pay off.
voice-verified
Finally, Mayor Lindsay agreed to sit down with Maticin, along with other village groups and politicians for an evening meeting at the Village Gate, a local jazz club.
voice-verified
Sitting on a stage normally reserved for musicians like Nina Simone and Albert Eiler, the mayor sipped a bloody merry and promised that he would end the entrapment policies of the police department, effective immediately.
voice-verified
Lindsay also promised he would curb discriminatory practices that took operating licenses away from gay bars and cabarets, another reform that activists had pushed for.
voice-verified
The New York Times covered the event with the headline, Lindsay Placates Coffee House Set.
voice-verified
For the moment, Matachin had gotten the promise of reform it wanted.
voice-verified
Open entrapment by the police in New York would decrease dramatically.
