On Luke Russert Plays Dumb About His Privilege
I agree insofar as that sentiment goes, but when explicitly asked by a reporter, he shouldn't act like an overachiever either.

Great piece, but even you underplay how widespread the practice of illegally planting drugs on innocent people is (whether to justify an arrest, improve statistics, etc.). Several former NYPD detectives have testified that this is routine - http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/14/nyregion/those-drugs-they-came-from-the-police.html?ref=nyregion
