Sounds a little scary, especially if you are a recent immigrant to New York City under the proto-Fascist Rudolph Giuliani....or your name is Abner Louima.
That's actually a sick joke, not even funny, because Giuliani should have been tried for contributing to the torture of an innocent civilian, or at least sent to Abu Ghraib for a taste of his own medicine. Contributing to a hostile environment and all that.
