Somebody fucking gets it. Finally.

NEW YORK (AP) — A paid informant for the New York Police Department's intelligence unit was under orders to "bait" Muslims into saying inflammatory things as he lived a double life, snapping pictures inside mosques and collecting the names of innocent people attending study groups on Islam, he told The Associated Press.

Shamiur Rahman, a 19-year-old American of Bangladeshi descent who has now denounced his work as an informant, said police told him to embrace a strategy called "create and capture." He said it involved creating a conversation about jihad or terrorism, then capturing the response to send to the NYPD. For his work, he earned as much as $1,000 a month and goodwill from the police after a string of minor marijuana arrests.

"We need you to pretend to be one of them," Rahman recalled the police telling him. "It's street theater."

Rahman said he now believes his work as an informant against Muslims in New York was "detrimental to the Constitution." After he disclosed to friends details about his work for the police — and after he told the police that he had been contacted by the AP — he stopped receiving text messages from his NYPD handler, "Steve," and his handler's NYPD phone number was disconnected.

This post isn't about islam so hold your comments about how fucked up that idealogy is - you'd be preaching to the choir on that.
What it is about is the fucking law, NYPD specifically, doing whatever the fuck they want to who they want and using whoever they want.
And here you have a 19 year old American Citizen that realizes it's detrimental to the Constitution. A 19 year old. A kid. Fuck, I know elderly men that would e cheering the cops on and a 19 year old Citizen of Arab descent fucking gets it.
