After the Muslim spying scandal and the countless videos showing the police beating Occupy Wall Street protesters, the NYPD has released this new recruitment ad.
Take a look.
Transcript for those w/o video:
Greetings citizen!
Have you ever wanted to be above the law? But since you're not a part of the 1%, you can't afford to buy the lawyers, lobbyists and politicians necessary to avoid being punished for your crimes?
What if I told you, you could avoid the law... by becoming the law and joining the New York Police Department!
Would you enjoy spying on Muslim Americans? Racially profiling minorities? How about pepper spraying women and beating up and arresting peaceful non-violent protesters?
Ignoring laws, court orders and the Constitution?
Well, if you answered yes to any of those, the NYPD may be right for you!
Let's face it. You're never going to be part of the 1%. But you can get the vicarious thrill of the lawlessness that our nation's elites enjoy by brutally assaulting those who are trying to draw attention to the 1%'s crimes!
Who are you going to protect and serve? Those who are protesting to fight for your pensions or those who are trying to cut them so they can have another tax cut?
The answer is clear. The answer is the NYPD. Bloomberg's army!
So, join the ranks of those who can break the law without consequences, join the NYPD today!
That is, unless you do something to a rich person, then we will destroy you.
