Two Big NYPD Stories - a podcast by WNYC

Jake Offenhartz, Gothamist/WNYC reporter, reports on how the NYPD's Strategic Response Group - formed as an anti-terror squad -- instead wound up heavily policing protests this past summer. Plus: Gothamist and WNYC filed a public records request years ago with the Bronx DA's office, asking to see an internal database they maintained of NYPD officers with credibility issues -- but the office has never released the information. George Joseph, reporter for WNYC's race & justice unit, talks about Gothamist's and WNYC's lawsuit against the Bronx DA for its failure to comply with the request, and why it's so important that it's made public.
