Quote is inadequate because pictures, but for those of you who are too effing lazy to follow a link:

Twitter has been around for eight years, and it still hasn't quite sunken in that it's a terrible place to promote your brand. Especially if your brand is police brutality, unnecessary roughness, and racial profiling.

The NYPD took a stab at some Twitter outreach Tuesday afternoon with this call for photos of citizens and their friendly neighborhood cops:

They got exactly what they asked for, courtesy of Occupy Wall Street supporters and others whose experiences with New York's Finest haven't exactly been hashtag awesome.

To be fair, some New Yorkers did post photos of themselves with officers in situations other than assault and battery, but they were quickly overwhelmed by reminders of the time the NYPD bloodied an 84-year-old man for jaywalking.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

There aren't that many pictures following the link. I can imagine what some others may have posted elsewhere.

At least it wasn't the LAPD posting this. :zoinks:

Awesome!
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Actions have fucking consequences. Sooner or later, the vast majority of people are going to figure that out. It doesn't matter whether or not you are a cop, a plutocrat, an "ism", religious...
