As large as they are you'd think the NYPD would have smarter PR people on staff.

Evidently the brass at NYPD thought it would be a good idea to start using the #myNYPD on Twitter and Facebook, hilarity ensues.

I think correct action is to arrest and prosecute persecute the vile dirtbags that posted the illegally obtained pictures.

It is, after all, interfering with a police investigation -- a crime.

Not sure if you're serious.

Taking a photo of a public action is not interfering with the investigation.

There have been numerous cases of just that happening.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I think it was in Illinois that a court ruled that - despite laws to the contrary - it wasn't illegal to photograph a public official engaged in his public duties while out in public.

Thought that was about audio-recording them - in spite of the unconstitutional anti-wiretapping laws.

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.
