NY Times’ Charles Blow 'Fuming' After Son Stopped at Gunpoint by Yale Cops
The columnist took to Twitter early Sunday to express outrage after Yale officers stopped his son at gunpoint as he walked home from the library.

















New York Times op-ed columnist Charles M. Blow says he’s “fuming” after his son was allegedly stopped by a Yale University police officer at gunpoint Saturday night because he apparently fit the description of a possible burglary suspect.
“So, my son, a 3rd year chem major at Yale was just accosted — at GUN POINT — by a Yale policeman bc he ‘fit the description’ of a suspect,’” Blow tweeted on Saturday. “He was let go when they realized he was a college student and not a criminal.”
Blow added: “He’s shaken, but I’m fuming!”
