NYPD spying program aimed at Muslims

I talked about the NYPD police state before, but felt it would be worth reinforcing with Glenn’s interesting post. Just like the article I feel the need to re-quote Bloomberg in his response on why this sort of invasion is necessary:
“The police department goes where there are allegations. And they look to see whether those allegations are true,” said the Mayor. “That’s what you’d expect them to do. That’s what you’d want them to do. Remind yourself when you turn out the light tonight.”
The stunning lack of understanding of the Constitution and the concepts of privacy are amazing. This is a guy who has been touted as a President for our country (of course, currently we have a ‘Constitutional Scholar’ as President and have a vastly more eroded Constitution than when Cheney was doing his best to shred it). But hey, why bitch and moan about things? Just join the 1% and become immune from all this!
