It is frightening that ANY policy from NY City would make it's way out of that toilet. At this point if someone offered me an all-expense paid trip to NY for the SuperBowl next year, I would have to say "ain't no way".
Rambling additional comment: Yesterday on my way home from Cabela's, there were a couple of cop cars parked on the NB on-ramp at I-25 and EB Arapahoe. They appeared to be talking with a panhandler there. The situation appeared completely calm, though I admit I am not sure exactly what was up, but the cops seemed to be either shooing him off or doing a welfare check maybe.
The guy should be glad we don't live in NY - they might have tried to shoot him. Wait, I should be glad we don't live in NY - they might have shot me!
