Not-lanta Memphis police imitate Chinese Communists
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 11:22 AM
Memphis police director Larry Godwin has sued to uncover the names of anonymous contributors to a blog harshly critical of the Memphis Police Department.
The lawsuit asks AOL to produce all information related to the identity of an e-mail address linked to MPD Enforcer 2.0, a blog popular with police officers that has been extremely critical of police leadership,
I don't know much about the Memphis Police Department, but it looks like its leaders have adopted Chinese Communist tactics to bully its force into silence. This only makes me more inclined to believe the nastier allegations on MPD Enforcer 2.o.
I hope the bloggers identities are kept mum. Imperfect as anonymous blogging is, blogs like MPD Enforcer and, closer to home, Dekalb Officers Speak, provide important information about otherwise opaque institutions.
