Let’s here it for the NYPD! Way to give all cops everywhere a bad name. On behalf of my friends, and specifically my family, who serve in law enforcement—and on behalf of my friends, and specifically my family, who are black and/or Latino [my wife, my in-laws]—I’d just like to thank those officers involved for making things worse for everyone. Well done! ::golf clap:: -CB
