Thursday, September 06, 2007

We begin a weekly series for the month of September on New York real estate with Lockhart Steele, publisher of the blog Curbed. Also, we get analysis of the Republican presidential debate as Fred Thompson makes his formal entrance into the race on TV and on the web; a civil liberties group issues a critical report about the NYPD's civilian complaint system; and Farm Aid comes to the Big Apple.


Complaining About the Police Complaints System

The New York Civil Liberties Union just issued a report that criticized the NYPD's Civilian Complaint Review Board. NYCLU executive director Donna Lieberman, and the report's author Bob Perry, explain their critique. Then Franklin Stone, chair of the CCRB, defends her organization. Finally, Julie L. Schwartz, assistant commissioner of the New York Police Department's Advocate's office, defends the NYPD.
