The NYPD's Abu Dhabi Beat

The NYPD will have police officers stationed in Abu Dhabi to, per WNBC, "help in crime fighting as well as share intelligence in the war on terror. " Calling the United Arab Emirates the "crossroads of the Middle East," Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said information will be exchanged between the NYPD and Abu Dhabi officials and that the NYPD will help train their personnel. Having NYPD officials overseas is nothing new, as they are in Montreal, Toronto, London, Madrid, Paris, Tel Aviv and other cities. A few years ago, the New Yorker had a great feature on the NYPD's anti-terror work.

Well the NYPD act like a bunch of fascists, and the UAE isn't a free country, so I guess it will all work out.

Unless of course the people in the station house refuse to sing "God Bless America," then all hell's going to break lose.

We should station them in Baghdad where they can beat down and shoot all the insurgents.

Come to think of it, maybe we should get the LAPD in on it too.
