... this isn't condoning the actions of the NYPD
I feel sad that you choose to limit it within the very narrow context of 'action of NYPD'
The sad fact is that the United States of America, thanks to NYPD and all other local / state / federal law enforcement agencies is becoming more and more like what the Stasi did in Eastern Germany, or the secret police of the Nicolae Ceausescu regime of Romania, or under the CCP in China, or the Kim's secret police in North Korea,
If the sentence 'uprooting terrorist plots, tracking "political activity"' fails to alarm any of the Americans, the future of United States of America is bleak
I mean, please read that sentence again
They actually use the term "terrorist plots" and the term "political activity" in the same fucking sentence!
What kind of America is _that_ ?
Aren't Americans supposed to be free to associate or join with any political activity, especially in the Land of the FREE??
What the fuck has happened to the freedom of association?
Or has America turned into a place where local law enforcement agencies such as NYPD, and all other agencies from the States as well as from the Federal level, get to dictate who can mix with whom now??
