Not every thing an elected official does becomes a public document. Democracy does not mean that every little thing is subjected to a public vote.

- greenyoda 13y agoWe're not talking about a "little thing" here. We're talking about a document that defines the official policies of the NYPD being kept secret.
- ck2 13y agoDoesn't have to be a vote but there has to be an accounting. We're talking about sunshine vs stasi mentality. It's like having secret laws we can't know about but are subject to penalty, democracy is not supposed to work like that.
