New York (AFP) - New York police Tuesday were eating extra helpings of humble pie after asking people to post images of themselves and NYPD officers on Twitter -- only to face a deluge of pictures of alleged police brutality.
"Do you have a photo w/ a member of the NYPD? Tweet us & tag it #myNYPD. It may be featured on our Facebook," the department posted on its NYPD News Twitter feed, hoping to fuel a feel-good, low-cost public relations campaign.

One image showing police after striking a protestor brought the remark "Here the #NYPD engages with its community members, changing hearts and minds one baton at a time."

Maybe, just maybe, they can sit down and think about why people feel this way.

I went to NY in 04 and it was scary. At any moment I expected ice glaciers to begin forming
And aliens to come down and start beaming their lasers, killing at random.
And then there's the Mechs! I knew they were hiding somewhere, waiting for me.
I went into instant survival mode and got an outfit for protection. It seemed
totally acceptable and appropriate to the natives there.
I'll never go back.

Can you edit Twitter? They should have had someone take a look at the postings first. Or is this not possible with Twitter? Can you screen out receiving certain types of photos and messages?

HA HA, That’s pretty funny. People are quite witty, I’m always amused at just how much that is so.

Feel good propaganda can not replace real change. They know there is a problem, but don’t want to see their attitudes are the problem.

I can imagine them singing the “sodomy” song from “Meet the Feebles”.
