The internet, cell phones and social media networking have revolutionized citizen action. I remember riding in the back of an RMP on a strangely quiet hot evening in Brooklyn in August of 1988, on my way to take a statement from a perp in a rape case. I asked the cops, who were driving me out to the 7-5 precinct station house, why it was so quiet on a Saturday night and where everybody was and they told me that almost all of the cops in the City were in Tompkins Square Park. I didn't know, at the time, what that meant. THOSE cops taped over their badge numbers and names with black electrical tape. THESE cops have no such option, and they know it.
