Occupy Everywhere - Sept 17th - Day of Rage Against Wall Street and what it stands for!
Last week, I received a letter from the New York Police Department (NYPD) in response to a wide-ranging request for documents I filed in January related to the department's brutal crackdown on the Occupy Wall Street protest. The NYPD refused to turn over a single document to me pertaining to OWS, claiming that if the records were disclosed it "would interfere with law enforcement investigations or judicial proceedings."

This denial doesn't mean I'm stopping my investigation. Over the years, I've received similar responses from other law enforcement and government agencies, including the CIA, FBI and Department of Defense, whenever I attempt to pry loose documents that would shine a light on government activities. NYPD may have denied Truthout access to records - but the case isn't closed. We'll appeal the NYPD's decision, and if our appeal is denied then we'll litigate, with pro bono legal help.
