NYPD Edits Wikipedia Posts on Police Corruption, Shootings

This is scary.

According to Capital New York, computers at the NYPD’s headquarters have been used to edit Wikipedia entries on NYPD corruption, alleged murders and more. Ladies and gentlemen, New York’s finest (at wiping its dirty history clean).

The NYPD’s computers were tracked by IP addresses. In all, there were 85 IP addresses linked to the NYPD’s computer network. Those computers attempted to edit and even delete Wiki entries on people who were killed by NYPD officers, such as Eric Garner and Sean Bell.
