NYPD: Spies, lies and propaganda films: New York City area community activists will be rallying this afternoon demanding the resignation of Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and NYPD spokesperson, Paul Browne. They are also demanding independent community oversight of the NYPD as a series of Associated Press and New York Times reports have alleged that under Kelly the department not only overstepped legal and ethical boundaries by spying on its citizens, it may have done so without federal approval and its actions were based on institutionalized religious and racial discrimination. Amongst the evidence provided is Kelly’s participation in an anti-Muslim propaganda film The Third Jihad, a report that the film was used to train police officers and leaked documents indicating covert operations to spy on area Muslims.

Then there are those who see potential lawsuits, dollar signs, and fame. ()
