And it's pretty fucking obvious that you have never been in any situation dealing with the police either, right, asshole? Even before 9/11, it was not at all uncommon to be rousted by the pigs, hauled off to jail, and refused the right to call a lawyer or anyone else, simply for the crime of looking "not quite right" or black, or radical, or what the fuck ever.
Everyone seems to have forgotten about NYPD's fondness for plungers up the butt, or perforating immigrants offering their wallet.
Maybe a building falling on them was Infinite Justice.
If it was intended to harm the NYPD, it's had the opposite effect: Note the following man-on-the-street interview (there's a war on we can use traditional language again): The Next Big Thing on WNYC radio 29 September 2001 Freddie Torres of the Red Hook Projects in Brooklyn (who describes himself as a street thug) talks about how The Incident has affected him and his view of the NYPD. (3:00 minutes into the segment). "This is the first time I can say that New York City cops are good." http://stream.realimpact.net/rihurl.ram?file=realimpact/wnyc/nbt/tnbt093001f... DCF
