   He was in charge, or maybe #2, of the NYC Transit Police   
   for a bit, too.   
      
   In NYC during the 1970's he got a lot of people   
   pissed when he talked about "the feral children" [a]   
   who were terrorizing the city.   
      
   [Minneapolis news]   
      
   Tony Bouza - outspoken, contrarian cop who once ran   
   Minneapolis police  - dies at 94   
      
   Tony Bouza grew up on Spain's Atlantic coast in the 1930s, and had a firsthand   
   view of oppressive state power, according to his son, Dominick. He told his   
   children about a neighbor caught watching nearby Nazi German ships with   
   binoculars and jailed.   
      
   "His wife came every day for a week with lunch. And on the seventh day, they   
   told her not to bother with that anymore," Dominick Bouza said Monday,   
   recalling what his father had told him. Police power had life and death   
   consequences in Tony Bouza's hometown, his son said, and "he understood that   
   clearly."   
       ....   
   He rose through the [NYPD ranks and became a reforming force in the NYPD,   
   single-handedly changing the dress code to allow women officers to wear pants   
   if they chose. But he was publicly critical of police misconduct and eventually   
   quit the force to be deputy chief of the transit police.
