These bohunks should have just left it up to the pros at the NYPD Office of Misinformation. They are expert spin doctors who are trained to manage and mold public opinion, and THEY are smart enough to use a proxy, so the footprints can't be followed home. Sheez... now these amateurs come along and open up this whole can of worms... for nothing.

Good work, Lawyer Glickman. I hope you get a successful resolution. The infringement by the NYPD on Wikipedia, is egregious. I hope you actions set a precedent. More videos: Like

I'm afraid the whole issue escapes me. Isn't Wikipedia open to being edited by ANYONE, at ANYTIME? Hasn't this source been condemned on numerous occasions for the inaccuracy of the information and the ease of any moron to replace information originally provided by the knowledgeable? If this is the case, let someone re-edit the offending work.

The NYPD criminals were doing what they've been caught doing hundreds of thousands of times: cheating, lying, and breaking the law.

And it violated WIKIPEDIA's own rules. Nice try, COP TROLL. You guys never learn, do you?
