The New York City Police Department asked folks to tweet some photos of regular people interacting with ******rs with the hashtag #myNYPD on Tuesday as part of a new means of communicating with the public. The Twitter public heeded the request, but **t in the way the police department intended.
Instead, many users posted a cascade of images of perceived NYPD brutality. The outrage has since spilled over to the Albuquerque Police Department, the*Los Angeles Police Department and others across the United States (Warning: some of the photos are graphic).
