Rolling Stone piece on NYPD slowdown
The Post will dislike whomever necessary on the day in question in order to sell more copies.
I really enjoyed Matt Taibi’s Rolling Stone piece on the slowdown, with my favorite bit quoted below.
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics...rreal-20141231If you’re wondering exactly what that means, the Post is reporting that the protesting police have decided to make arrests “only when they have to.” (Let that sink in for a moment. Seriously, take 10 or 15 seconds).
If you don’t read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed. – Mark Twain (attributed)
Crime By The Numbers: NYPD film
A short, eighteen minute film by ESPN 'How The NYPD Abused Citizens In The Name of Data, And How One Cop exposed It':Link:http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/...posed-it-all/?..tells the story of Adrian Schoolcraft. Schoolcraft, as a New York Police Department officer, blew the whistle on the NYPD’s abuse and misuse of CompStat, a system to track crime trends in New York City.
It was released three weeks ago and I have not watched it yet.
