In reply to the discussion: NYC: Empire State Shooting: ALL bystanders were shot by police [View all]BlueNinja
(25 posts)So some guy went on a rant in the New York Times comment section of one of the articles on this shooting that ended with, "Why are folks so quick to accuse those who are there to protect us of wrongdoing all the time?" I decided to reply with the following:
Why would people be dubious of the NYPD? Because the NYPD has a history of not protecting the public. The New York Police Department is one of the few that has earned a separate page for it's own history of corruption and misconduct on Wikipedia. A pattern of brutality, corruption, rape, and murder calls into question this department's stated purpose, "to protect and serve."
My comment was not published - what the hell is up with that? I didn't think it was that hyperbolic considering the fact that if you look at that Wikipedia page there are cases where some officers actually raped women who they were supposed to be helping, then numerous shootings that were questionable if not illegal, then the mafia cops, then questionable surveillance, then, then, then going back virtually to the beginning of the organization. So much for the "liberal" media.
