NYPD Baits Muslims

Have you wondered why the police are able to find seemingly stupid people to press fake detonators on fake bombs?  Maybe the police are actively recruiting and tricking these people into participating.  An informant for the New York Police Department claims he was instructed to target and recruit Muslims to break the law.

Informant: NYPD paid me to 'bait' Muslims

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.
