hairlessmunkee links through to the NYTimes archive of the new document dump from the NYPD. The NYPD and the RNC coordinated to surveil and counter-monkey-wrench protests of the RNC convention in New York City before the 2004 elections.
But what really puts it through the roof for me in terms of absurdity is that there are two documents about Ted Rall. Ted Rall is a political cartoonist, and he has a web site to promote his work. But according to the NYPD, he’s an online activist who’s calling for violence against the RNC. Which is, of course, absurd.
But for some reason he bears mentioning in two different reports. I mean, did someone’s nephew get paid $10 an hour to read his web site or something?
And speaking of Rall: Did someone mention ‘Peace walls?’

Ray Kelly (NY’s Police Commissioner) thought half the cops who worked for him were terrorists back when he was a police commander, so none of this surprises me. But I love Ted Rall’s cartoon…
but Ted Rall is a terrorist…to the RNC…
Just passing through…like the site.
