My story:

I emailed Browne to ask about the alleged spying incident, asking whether the department had an officer or informant providing information to them about Sharpton’s activities without his knowledge.
Brown’s responded: ”Neither the Rev. Sharpton nor the National Action Network, but a separate individual who was present was the subject of the NYPD Intelligence Division‘s interest at the May 3, 2008 meeting in question.”
