IP addresses linked to the New York Police Department's computer network have been used to sanitize Wikipedia entries about cases of police brutality.
This wouldn't be the first time we've seen nefarious alterations to Wikipedia entries, and it won't be the last. But the disclosure of NYPD's entries by Capital New York come as the Justice Department announced a national initiative for "building community trust and justice" with the nation's policing agencies.
As many as 85 IP addresses connected to 1 Police Plaza altered entries for some of the most high-profile police abuse cases, including those for victims Eric Garner, Sean Bell, and Amadou Diallo, Capital New York said. Edits have also been made to other entries covering NYPD scandals, its stop-and-frisk program, and the department leadership.

Incredible that they won't do their homework nor even think of the consequences of their actions before executing them. We are the network and will entangle every mistake you ever make to find out even more about you. The political puppet critters and their drones tried it and got caught red handed. And now the police think they will get away with it? ;)
No the attempt will be news in itself and just add to the mess. And add more information in itself. Seems in line with less than smart bullies trying to cover up their blood traces.
