There is something even MORE important to be released and that is the police training manuals and materials which the NYPD have been hiding from FOIL requests for over a decade now.

To all New Yorkers: You are currently NOT ENTITLED to see the methods and techniques taught at the NYPD academy.

Requests are being denied on these grounds: "Deniable records include records or portions thereof that: (e) are compiled for law enforcement purposes and which if disclosed would: iv. reveal criminal investigative techniques or procedures, except routine techniques and procedures;"

Please don't use uppercase for emphasis. If you want to emphasize a word or phrase, put asterisks around it and it will get italicized.

Tangentially to this, is there any way to view the actual raw text of a (arbitrary) HN post? Because there are no asterisks in your displayed text. Clearly the text exists, because 'edit' links work, but there doesn't seem to be any way to retrieve it from a post you can't edit.

Sorry, but I don't believe there is.

Pity. Thanks for the confirmation that I wasn't missing something obvious, at least.
