An interesting piece of information has been brought to my attention. In the 20 minutes between the NY Times first publishing its reportage of the Brooklyn Bridge arrests and the subsequent alteration of that report (postings HERE, HERE and HERE), the original, solo byline crediting Colin Moynihan was expanded to include Al Baker. Al Baker is the NY Times Police Bureau Chief. Years spent by the NYPD brass allowing Mr. Baker access sure seems to have paid off. It may have also had something to do with Mr. Baker reportedly being the son of an acting Lieutenant with New York's police force.
Here's an update of the increasingly well known graphic depicting what happened yesterday.
