This young man wrote a blog and was told by the police that he had to redact it, because he named the undercover police officer who gained his trust, became his friend and set him up. Like any good activist blogger, Ichim began blogging about it. Now the police are trying to make him take it down, he’s been threatened with arrest, and his blog talks about what it’s like.
The name that he named was the Undercover Cop’s fake name.
Not even the real name.
You can read about it here.

“Last night, the police used pepper spray in two separate incidents, and many are now questioning whether the police use of force was appropriate to the circumstances,” McGinn said in a statement. “I have seen video and written descriptions of the incidents.
“To those who engaged in peaceful protest, I am sorry that you were pepper sprayed.”
McGinn said he had met with Police Chief John Diaz and the command staff.
