#myNYPD

The New York Police Department attempted to harness Twitter to drum up support yesterday, but things haven't exactly gone as planned. The official NYPD Twitter account asked followers to tweet photos of themselves with NYC police officers under the hashtag #myNYPD — but so far, many users have jumped on that hashtag to flood it with images of police aggressively apprehending apparent suspects. So far, these are hardly the friendly images the NYPD was hoping for.

One picture of a man screaming on the ground as he is restrained by 2 officers is captioned: NYPD officers are known worldwide for their timely and hands-on response to citizen grievances.  #myNYPD
