Apparently, even a system built for dealing with excrement can't handle the side-effects of unregulated capitalism.

The Guilanni effect....you can keep NYC dailykos.com Fri Mar 13, 2015 at 11:30 AM PDT NYPD caught trying to literally rewrite history of police brutality on Wikipedia by Shaun King 26 Comments / 26 New Public relations is one thing, but having staff go into Wikipedia to change the written narrative on police brutality is altogether different. Capital New York just revealed that staff members within the NYPD are trying to shape and even trash written entries of their own police brutality on Wikipedia. Computer users identified by Capital as working on the NYPD headquarters' network have edited and attempted to delete Wikipedia entries for several well-known victims of police altercations, including entries for Eric Garner, Sean Bell, and Amadou Diallo. Capital identified 85 NYPD addresses that have edited Wikipedia, although it is unclear how many users were involved, as computers on the NYPD network can operate on the department’s range of IP addresses. For instance, see the changes made on the death of Staten Island resident Eric Garner. ? “Garner raised both his arms in the air” was changed to “Garner flailed his arms about as he spoke.” ? “[P]ush Garner's face into the sidewalk” was changed to “push Garner's head down into the sidewalk.” ? “Use of the chokehold has been prohibited” was changed to “Use of the chokehold is legal, but has been prohibited.” ? The sentence, “Garner, who was considerably larger than any of the officers, continued to struggle with them,” was added to the description of the incident. ? Instances of the word “chokehold” were replaced twice, once to “chokehold or headlock,” and once to “respiratory distress.” To make things even worse, it appears that people working inside of 1 Police Plaza flatout attempted to delete the entire entry about the murder of Sean Bell.
