The facts are Lefty that if they were official undercover agents they would have been better off.
Don't blame me for your lack of evidence. You have absolutely no evidence that they were undercover confidential agents, now do you?
They are not agents, nor had I suggested they were. "Informant" does not suggest agency. Many sorts if crime are solved largely by informants, persons who come forward with evidence voluntarily, either for reward or for revenge or out of a sense of right and wrong. In at least one case, we know that the worker did contact the police in a manner that actually protects ACORN in that it does not require the creatiuon of paper work that would be available for discovery by defense attornies after a successful bust of the pimp and sleaze.
No documentation exists for most police contact with informants unless the intelligence leads to actual issuing of warrants, and even then, there may or may not be data identifying the informant.
I have operated as an informant myself, though I do not think that any of the pimps I trierd to set up were ever charged, or that my input was needed to try them. Generally, it would nt have been neccessary that I know whether anything had come of the contact. In some cases, it simply involved my mentioning something odd that I had seen when I was selling underground newspapers on a street where major drug dealing and prostitution activities were occurring. Sometimes cops would ask me whether I had seen certain characters hanging about or soliciting or harrassing women on the street. I doubt that there was ever any paperwork generated from any such contacts. It would not be a good idea to do so, at any rate.
The one case in which paperwork was generated, this one in the Army, resulted in numerous attempts to ambush me. So, I have seen this from angles from which you haven't. You're flat wrong.
They should have called the cops and told their supervisor, which is the problem.
And told them what?
Some Acorn offices were doing things that they should not have done, that is the problem.
Look at the L.A. video again. They do protstitute rescues.
When the same sort of tactics were used to demonstrate red lining of mortages it was exactly the same situation.
They did not. Flat out fact. The institutions ACORN targetted have, historicly, as a matter of policy, discriminated agaisnst black neighborhoods. ACORN did not offer them a chance to commit a crime and then leave without their having a chance to carry through.
ACORN is not a criminal organization.
Breitbart and the maggots are.
Breitbart's intent is evil, ACORN's is not.
