One is reminded of the old adage “History is written by the winners.” when it comes to the New York Police Department and their re-writes of some pivotal Police Brutality articles on the internet encyclopedia site Wikipedia.
In a case of obvious counter-propaganda, articles concerning high-profile police abuse cases had been edited to portray police actions in a more favorable light. An article concerning the death of Eric Gardener had some of the most edits.
I.P. addresses attributed to the authors of the edits lead back to the NYPD.
Wiki has been known to deny certain i.p. addresses the ability to edit their own listing in the past.
