It's amazing to see how cops and prosecutors in NYC tried to be so quick (and slick!) in railroading, ramrodding, and otherwise BULLYING the people of New York that many of those who were arrested deserved to be prosecuted, thrown in jail, and the key swallowed.
As for The Times and their "Liberal bias", I say HA! Why don't the Republicans start TELLING THE TRUTH for once instead of accusing others of having a "Liberal bias" as they try to pass off EDITED (or would DOCTORED be a better word?) copies of video tapes as being somehow "whole"???
