I have a philosophical problem with leaking people's personal information but I admit that I'm curious. I want to see what's in this data.

I don't think this logic is beneficial for humanity. If you take the worst parts of any organization or group and generalize it across the entire group, you end up with stereotypes, bias, and discrimination...the very things that led us down this path in the first place. There are better ways to approach this.

Honestly that's the most interesting part (at least until people sift through the data more) of this story. Why the heck are they storing sensitive data on what appears to be a CMS for e-commerce site?
Home addresses aren't considered sensitive information. If you own your home that information is public. Cops read people's addresses (and SSNs) out over the radio all the time for anyone to hear. I'm not saying I agree with this, privacy should be protected better, but that's the US.

The Julian Assange "poison pill" link was posted on Twitter, and later the password to the archive was also posted. This provided FULL UNREDACTED versions of all the leaked info.
Could you please enlighten us about this "poison pill" link?

> Police officers aren't being judged or punished for the color of their skin, creed, religion, or sexuality but their choices. No, many police officers are now being punished for being police officers. You would just be doing your job properly - no racist actions anything unjust - and now these details leak out. Yes there are police officers which are racist, I don't have data so I won't say few nor many, but there…
> being punished for being police officers. Some of the logic is that bad police behavior is widespread enough that every "good" cop works closely enough with at least one "bad" cop, and yet via observation of outcomes, does not correct that bad cop's behavior (or doesn't correct it enough). They're thus complicit AKA bad cops themselves, and thus there are _no_ good police - everyone is sufficiently tainted. The God…
Out of 700000 cops I guarantee some are the scum of the earth who should be locked away forever. I don't know where they are. I can't effect that
It's like getting mad at the manager or an applebee's in Chicago because the waiter spit in your food at an olive garden in Seattle.

Why shouldn't it? Putting on a uniform assumes responsibility for the positions and actions of the represented organization - here the various police forces and unions of the United States. Police officers aren't being judged or punished for the color of their skin, creed, religion, or sexuality but their choices. I find it hard to stomach the idea that people shouldn't be judged for the organizations they choose to…

That's a feature, not a bug; police officers are being punished because of the actions of police officers. Actions they choose to take responsibility for everyday they put on their uniform and step behind the blue line.
Despicable. I assume the hackers were willing to expose their own addresses?
