Undercover NYPD officers attended meetings of liberal political organizations and kept intelligence files on activists who planned protests around the country, according to interviews and documents that show how police have used counterterrorism tactics to monitor even lawful activities.
The infiltration echoes the tactics the NYPD used in the run-up to New York's 2004 Republican National Convention, when police monitored church groups, anti-war organizations and environmental advocates nationwide. That effort was revealed by The New York Times in 2007 and in an ongoing federal civil rights lawsuit over how the NYPD treated convention protesters.
TVNL Comment: Is there one single event in history where the conduct or actions of a "liberal" or "peace" group indicated a need for police to infiltrate these groups? Has a liberal group ever posed a threat to anything? All they do is sing, chant, sign petitions and yell sometimes. As a matter of fact they are wimps. They should get serious about their causes...but they never are. They always take the legal route unless they practice passive resistance. When they start standing up for themselves then people have something to worry about...but those people are probably the real bad guys...not the peace mongers!
