AP: NYPD Facebook probe raises free speech question
NEW YORK (AP) — The Facebook group was titled “No More West Indian Day Detail,” referring to police patrol for a raucous annual Brooklyn parade.
Sprinkled among the frustrations aired about regulating the crowded, loud, often-violent event were comments that were more offensive. Some called the parade, held in a predominantly black neighborhood, “ghetto training,” and a “scheduled riot.” Others referred to participants as savages.
The West Indian Day Parade celebrates the culture of the Caribbean islands and is one of the city’s largest outdoors events. Food carts with spicy dishes and fresh fruit crowd a stately parkway and dancers shimmy wearing revealing feathered costumes.
But it’s often surrounded by violence. Following the parade this year, a woman was shot to death while sitting on her stoop with her daughter, as police exchanged gunfire nearby with an armed man who’d opened fire on another person moments before. And others were shot to death during celebrations in 2003 and 2005.

Reuters: China’s “Best Buys” scramble to tap e-commerce boom
HONG KONG (Reuters) – Two Chinese appliance and electronics retailers, regarded by some as the country’s answers to Best Buy Co Inc , are racing to beef up their e-commerce arms and tap the booming but highly competitive online retail market.
Although relative latecomers to the game, analysts say the moves by Suning Appliance Co Ltd <002024.SZ> and GOME Electrical Appliances Holdings Ltd <0493.HK> are still timely. The companies can capitalize on e-commerce to broaden their customer bases at a time when appliance demand has been damped by a slowdown in China’s housing market, they said.
The benefits are clear: lower cost distribution across the geographically huge market without the need to open new physical retail outlets.
“The time is definitely right and arguably it is late for the retailers to get into e-commerce, given that many consumers have established online shopping habits,” said Dale Preston, managing director of Nielsen’s Greater China Retail Measurement.
