      How is he bootlicking?

      We live in a society. Compromises need to be made. If they end up being in the wrong direction, then we correct.

      The answer to solving this problem isn’t to burn the system to the ground, and it’s also probably not to keep letting the crazies get involved in crime scenes. It’s also not to give police carte blanche or obscure the information of it’s needed.

      His suggestion was a reasonable first step.

      Now. Can the NYPD be trusted to do the right thing when they get a FOIA request? Probably not without being forced. They don’t have a great track record of transparency. But that’s no reason to remain stuck in the past.
