New documents reveal what Mayor Bloomberg, Police Commissioner Kelly, and NYPD Spokesman Paul Browne had been lying about all along: the department was spying on Muslims because they were Muslims. According to new documents regarding the NYPD’s Demographics Unit, a division whose existence was initially denied by police spokesperson Paul Browne, plainclothes officers were instructed to “focus on the smaller Muslim community” of the Syrian population in the New York area.
This report also specifically went after Egyptian Muslims in a similar surveillance plot in 2007. It states, “This report does not represent the Coptic Egyptian community and is merely an insight into the Muslim Egyptian community of New York City.”
That savory specification directly contrasts with statements made by Mayor Bloomberg in December regarding the NYPD’s investigative tactics. “The communities, whether they’re Muslim or Jewish or Christian or Hindu or Buddhist or whatever, all contribute to this city. We don’t target any one of them. We don’t target any neighborhood,” he said. Bloomberg more recently bullshitted in August when defending the department by saying, “We don’t stop to think about the religion.” Well… turns out the city totally does. Commissioner Ray Kelly spewed similar lies about the department’s profiling strategies in October by stating, “We don’t do it ethnically. We do it geographically.” Right, except when it comes to Muslims.
So, today Animal is upset about the nypd targeting muslims when the other day Animal was mocking muslims with the story about the billboard in paterson, nj from the atheists. Ridiculous and hypocritical!
Mocking Muslims? The billboard post that you're referring to does nothing to mock Muslims. However, the billboard itself does. That issue has little to do with this one except that Muslims are the subject. You think that writing about an offensive billboard and religious profiling are somehow inconsistent and "hypocritical," but I don't see it.
Actually, we were mocking Jewish intolerance not Muslims. But curiously, what does our occasional critique of Islam (and everyone other bullshit religion) have to do with us calling out the NYPD for spying on innocent Muslims not accused of wrongdoing? Your statement is baffling.
You should win a medal for that leap in logic. The dumbshit that people say on the internet makes baby Jesus cry.
