De Blasio and the next City Council will look forward rather than backward - the only way we'll get any looking back at the Bloomberg Years is if there is some big disaster that de Blasio gets blamed for that's really a result of Bloomberg's handling of the 911 system. And even then, the media stenographers will side with Bloomberg even though it's pretty documented that the 911 system upgrades Bloomberg spent $2 billion on are a disaster.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-85058944082465441802013-11-29T10:10:08.127-05:002013-11-29T10:10:08.127-05:00I suspect there will be a great amount of whitewas...I suspect there will be a great amount of whitewashing the Bloomberg Years by the press (many of whom are either directly on his payroll or are on the payroll of his brother plutocrats.)

He documents all of the NYPD playing with numbers in a well researched, peer reviewed study that is the central focus of his book.<br /><br />Here is part of a review:<br /><br /> Significantly, during the period in which Drs. Eterno and Silverman were conducting their research, a compelling and shocking story was emerging from within the NYPD itself. In Brooklyn's 81st Precinct, Police Officer Adrian Schoolcraft spent almost two years documenting the pressure put on him and his fellow officers to bend to the demands from above, including recordings of roll call instruction relaying those demands to the rank and file made during 2008 and 2009. Schoolcraft first brought his concerns to the NYPD's hierarchy. When they went unheeded, he brought them and his recordings to the attention of The Village Voice whose reporter Graham Rayman in 2010 produced a prize-winning multipart story on Schoolcraft's allegations. ("The NYPD Tapes: Inside Bed-Stuy's 81st Precinct," Village Voice, May 4 2010) Schoolcraft very shortly thereafter found himself taken into custody by the NYPD and clapped into the psychiatric ward of Jamaica Hospital for six days. He has been on unpaid suspension ever since and the city faces his multi-million dollar lawsuit.<br /><br />More recently, Mr. Rayman pried loose a departmental report on the Schoolcraft allegations ("The NYPD Tapes Confirmed," The Village Voice, March 7 2012). The report was completed in 2010 but never made public. It is an almost complete vindication of Officer Schoolcraft and his charges. It also comports with the findings and concerns outlined in the Eterno and Silverman book. Both the report and the book merit careful review by law enforcement executives, prosecutors and defense attorneys, and lawmakers throughout the nation.<br /><br />Terry O'Neill, Director<br />The Constantine Institute, Inc.<br />Albany NY<br />James Eternohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578647381229034792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-3650247029992522592013-11-28T11:49:37.315-05:002013-11-28T11:49:37.315-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.James Eternohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578647381229034792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-55859719483518233992013-11-28T10:38:12.725-05:002013-11-28T10:38:12.725-05:00I wonder if the public can access all of the schoo...I wonder if the public can access all of the school repair contracts Bloomberg granted during his tenure.

This whole business of quotas obviously aggressive imposed on the police totally reeks of the Jack Welch metrics philosophy that applied to the Department of Education<br /><br />This goes to a larger issue: that of mayoral control. On principle, de Blasio must yield this power. <br />The case of the DOE and now, the NYPD conditions plainly shows the very grave danger that power unchecked can do. No one person should ever again have that power.<br /><br />Just as the Moreland Commission should have powers to investigate possible corruption at the highest levels of Cuomo/NYSED, the city council needs a truth commission on the high crimes committed at the NYPD and the DOE.GeoKarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463970361326939857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-48706046470899499572013-11-28T10:13:02.988-05:002013-11-28T10:13:02.988-05:00They're all in the same bubble....the Corporat...They're all in the same bubble....the Corporate media banking military government complex...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-60233845029673240052013-11-28T10:02:36.305-05:002013-11-28T10:02:36.305-05:00That's right.
