CityBeat: Watching the Detectives (2002-08-08)

Another advocacy Column posing as a news article from City Beat. I voiced my opinion in the letter to Greg Flannery the writer below:

Greg,

If Copwatch is so great and is so needed, then why has it taken them a year to produce one video, which they have not yet released? If the Police are just the racists they are made out to be, then why have they not produced dozens of video incidents? If they have not been able to obtain video of these incidents, then why not have a log of them on there website for the whole world to read. They could update it daily with new reports of police wrongdoing. I don't see that happening. I have visited their website several times and I have not seen it updated yet.

"Police brutality is going on and is being ignored," he says.

The he above is Islord Allah mention in your article. I have to ask, where's the beef? If they are documenting these incidents, why are they not posting each one on their website? If they want people to know what is going on, they have to tell them, and provide at least some basic facts. Generalities "reported" by biased "activists" are not going to win any support from the mainstream resident. I wish your "news" article would have had a few objective observations in it, instead of a PR piece for the group it appears you support.
