NYPD: New York City Police Department

Pictures of cops and all those cute things they do: cops on bikes and horses, cops in cars trying to look busy driving at 2 mph through parks, cops looking totalyl embarrassed in little metermaid buggies, cops writing citations for open containers and public urination, cops pulling over black drivers, cops with hand on gun, gangs of cops, extra-tough boss cops in white shirts, uber-tough-guy mega-cops in leather boots, cops harrassing homeless people, cops buying pizza, cops sneering at protestors, cops arresting drunks, cops comforting people in distress, cops macing demonstrators, cops alone and en masse.

Pictures of police cars and paddywagons and cop-copters, questions about just who it is they are serving and protecting, photos of police signs and recruitment ads, comments on the omnipresence of the boys and girls in blue, hopefully replete with titles like "police state" and "mort aux vaches" and "here comes the fuzz", and meditations on the growing militarization of the only police force in the US to be the subject of an Amnesty International denunciation for routine practice of torture. Loving accolades from fans are equally welcome: after all, many New Yorkers have friends and family in the force.

Got a bone to pick with a pig? Let's hear all about it.

Sick of people villainizing these grotesquely underpaid public servants? Sick of a Mayor who talks about heroes and then cuts benefits to people who hold one of the most dangerous jobs in the city? Bring it on.

Love 'em or hate 'em, or a little bit of both, it's a New York thang, y'all wouldn't understand.
