#MyNYPD

In 2014 the New York Police Department wanted to have some good publicity, so they went on their twitter, @NYPDnews, and posted a tweet,  “Do you have a photo w/ a member of the NYPD? Tweet us and tag it #MyNYPD. It may be featured on our facebook.” They wanted people to post pictures of them with someone from the police department. The intentions the department had went really bad. People started to post negative pictures of the NYPD. In some of the pictures that were posted, the police were pulling hair, hitting people with the batons, choking people and even running them over. If the police all over would do more positive things with the community maybe people wouldn’t look at them as abusers. If you want to have people post pictures make sure you have more positive than negative.
