Who Owns NYPD? Is Wall St the Cop on Your Beat?

Who really owns the NYPD? Who do those officers really serve? As Martens points out, much to the NYCLU's chagrin, no public hearings on this center and the massive expenditure of public funds it required were ever held. But even if they had been?
Had a public hearing been held on this massive surveillance sweep of Manhattan by potential felons, hopefully someone might have pondered  what was to prevent Wall Street from tracking its employee whistleblowers heading off to the FBI offices or meeting with a reporter. One puzzle has at least been solved.  Wall Street’s criminals have not been indicted or sent to jail because they have effectively become the police.
