As spotted on Raw Story the New York Police Department is making changes to their force and how it patrols low income communities.
The New York Times is reporting that Commissioner Dermot F. Shea announced they are shutting down their plainclothes crime unit.
“Thankfully, here in New York City, angry demonstrations have turned peaceful.
“This is a seismic shift in the culture of how the NYPD polices this great city,” Shea said.
