This is why the NYPD sucks balls. Seriously. For everything good they do, they manage to work in something so blatantly assinine that it’s almost impossible to believe half of them haven’t been fired already.
The mascot from Hungrr.com was walking around on the iPhone line at the 5th Avenue Apple Store last Friday when he raised the ire of some two-bit camera monkey who objected to him being in the shot. Apparently that was good enough cause for the NYPD who immediately removed the mascot from the street, threatening to arrest him and put him in jail.
For what? Well, actually, nobody knows. Apparently if you’re some low-level beat walking NYPD douchebag, merely being on the street is a crime if it annoys a news crew.
What’s that you say? What proof do I have?
How about a video?
The NYPD officers who did this should be investigated immediately. End of story. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go give a few bucks to Hungrr.com just on principle.
