So! What has New York’s Finest been up to lately? Turns out—quite a lot! We learned a few days ago that the NYPD will be rolling out an all-seeing “Domain Awareness System” sometime this week, which sounds like it would sure keep them busy. But the NYPD is apparently masterful at multitasking, because they have still managed to find time to arrest and possibly beat up a New York Times photographer while he was on assignment in the Bronx.
You need digital, because the cops are very skilled at the "accidentally-opening-the-back-of the-camera" move. (Part of police academy training, judging from the fact that they all know how to do it.)
Note: Modern police forces have largely upgraded to the "SD-card-must-have-fallen-out" routine.
Ok, took me a sec, and then <a href="http:\/\/www.metacafe.com\/watch\/2726955\/big_lebowski_dude_do_you_see_what_happens_do_you\/" target="_blank">I remembered</a>
<blockquote>Twice MacGowan and MacColl sing, &quot;The boys of the NYPD choir still singing &quot;Galway Bay&quot;. The New York Police Department (NYPD) does not have a choir, but it does have a Pipes and Drums unit that is featured in the video for the song. The NYPD Pipes and Drums did not know &quot;Galway Bay&quot; and so played a different song for the music video, and the editor put it in slow motion to fit the beat.</blockquote>
Waiting for the planted gun to surface in 5,4,3...
It&#039;s almost enough to make one wish Bill Kristol still had a column there, isn&#039;t it?
Protip: the cops count in mod 13.

No match for the cop&#039;s 17-shot cannon.

Yeah, nothing improves a photo like a massive smudge of sweaty cop face-grease on the lens.
At least he didn&#039;t get a Louima enema.
Stolarik just has to invite the officers over for a beer and a little chat, and then everything will be all right.
LAPD just <em>wishes</em> they had a Mayor with a Napoleon complex.
well, the second amendment is more important than the first.
duh.
You scumbag, you maggot.
BTW, wikipedia drolly notes:

<i>Perhaps he accidentally smashed his camera into his OWN face, handed it to the police officers, and then fell on the ground?</i>
Yeah. I know I hate it when that happens to me. So embarassing.
