well some random violence aside, NYPD is actually pretty good. we just had the world economic forum here.. and while there were some arrests. and some street closing (there were fewer streets closed for the forum then were closed today when W came to visit.) there was not large scale protestor/police mahem.
now it could be, NY attracts a better class of protester.. or just that we are better at dealing with them..
in any case, no water hose, or teargas, or other stuff.. and only 150 arrests.
NYPD like a PD's has some bad apples.. but by and large, cops are not hated and feared in NY-- and shoot to kill incidents when the occur are big deals.. because they are rare.
What NYers really hate (instead of the police) are meter maids. and parking enforcement.. parking in the wrong place at the wrong time can quickly become a $278 error! and to resolve it takes hours, and cash only, please, no checks or credit cards..
