Text: G-20 Toronto: Police in Toronto Criticized for Treatment of Protesters, Many Peaceful
Ian Austen, The New York Times, June 27th, 2010
 TORONTO — An escalation of aggressive police tactics toward even apparently peaceful protests at the Group of 20 summit meeting led to calls for a review of security activities. After allowing a small group of people to burn police cars and smash windows unimpeded on Saturday afternoon, many of the 20,000 police officers deployed in Toronto changed tactics that evening and during the last day of the gathering. There was a notable increase in both the numbers of police officers who surrounded demonstrations as well as more use of tear gas and rubber or plastic bullets. [Read more]
Pittsburgh G-20 Archive: Arrest Puts Focus on Protesters' Texting
Colin Moynihan, The New York Times, October 5th, 2009
As demonstrations have evolved with the help of text messages and online social networks, so too has the response of law enforcement. On Thursday, F.B.I. agents descended on a house in Jackson Heights, Queens, and spent 16 hours searching it.

Pittsburgh G-20 Archive: Pittsburgh Seeks 4,000 Extra Police Officers to Help With the Group of 20 Meeting
Sean D. Hamill, The New York Times, August 23rd, 2009
Worried about protests that typically surround the meetings of officials from the world’s 20 biggest industrial and emerging economies, Pittsburgh has asked 4,000 officers from across the country to supplement its 900-member police force for the Group of 20 meeting here next month.

Text: Washington Taps Into a Potent New Force in Diplomacy
Mark Landler and Brian Stelter, The New York Times, June 17th, 2009
The Obama administration says it has tried to avoid words or deeds that could be portrayed as American meddling in Iran’s presidential election and its tumultuous aftermath. Yet on Monday afternoon, a 27-year-old State Department official, Jared Cohen, e-mailed the social-networking site Twitter with an unusual request: delay scheduled maintenance of its global network, which would have cut off service while Iranians were using Twitter to swap information and inform the outside world about the mushrooming protests around Tehran.

Text: City Asks Court Not to Unseal Police Spy Files
Jim Dwyer, The New York Times, March 26th, 2007
Lawyers for the city, responding to a request to unseal records of police surveillance leading up to the 2004 Republican convention in New York, say that the documents should remain secret because the news media will "fixate upon and sensationalize them," hurting the city's ability to defend itself in lawsuits over mass arrests. In papers filed in federal court last week, the city's lawyers also say that the documents could be "misinterpreted" because they were not intended for the public. [Read more]
