What Can We Learn From the Chicago Police Department’s API Shutdown?

The Chicago Reporter has claimed that the Chicago Police Department has shut down an API that had been used to provide access to arrest records in the city. The publication is contending that the removal of access to the API is in direct retaliation to an article they published that was critical of statements made by the CPD that were allegedly inconsistent with the data freely accessible via the API.
