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.

Look for yourself at this "sanitation" that is going on (there are links in a post somewhere below). It is a tabloid-worthy headline. The worst part is that sheeple like you (yes, I did indeed use that derisive term that people like you love to apply to the common person, and it is very fitting because you are just only hearing what you want to hear) will take away from this that the cops are whitewashing information. A month or so from now you'll add this "evidence" to your laundry list rant as further evidence that "the government" is evil, completely independent as to whether the facts support your claim because facts don't matter to you. And I'm supposed to read your list of 99 grievances and take them at face value now that I've seen the level of critical thinking that goes into your "facts"?
Get bent.
