When the NYPD Meets the Galactic Empire

A long time ago (last week), in a galaxy far far away (the far West Side), this photograph was taken outside of the Javits Convention Center, where the New York Comic Con was held. It's unclear if the police were making sure the light sabers at 34th Street and 8th Avenue remained safe, but the Storm Trooper getup seems very similar to what Operation Torch cops need!

Good thing he wasn't wearing black armor or the cops would have to shoot at him 50 times.

"Yeah, uh, move along then."

That's a joke shot, right? I mean, is it normal for a Sergeant to be rolling around in a patrol car?

That picture is practically priceless.

stuff white people like: #356 - dressing like storm troopers. #221 - pretending to get arrested and taking pictures of getting arrested with police in playful poses (black people do not fucking understand this)

That picture is awesome - the cop on the right has this look on his face like "Will somebody PLEASE take my picture while I'm arresting a stormtrooper?"
