Just out of curiosity, have you ever been attacked or harassed by the police? I'm also no longer impressed with the NYPD. I have a friend who works there and he can barely tolerate it. On the other hand, Ruben has a point, statistically, your odds of getting their attention in the first place are pretty low.
