<i>&quot;It is unacceptable that The Washington Post and the Guardian newspaper from the U.K. are becoming the lead source of information about violent encounters between police and civilians. That is not good for anybody.&quot;</i><p>I&#x27;d say that&#x27;s a pretty good example of the freedom of the press doing work that&#x27;s in the interest of the public. Just because it makes the FBI look bad doesn&#x27;t mean it lacks merit. Maybe his quote is taken out of context though, in that it&#x27;s &quot;unacceptable&quot; the FBI can&#x27;t fiddle with the data for its own ends.
