Asian Cops Promote NYC's Finest Police Force

Asian Cops Promote NYC's Finest Police Force

Here on the QTrain and I spot this subway advertisement for NYC Police Force. Michael Yi is proud to be a member.

This reminds me of my only direct encounter with an NYC cop. He was Asian. I had accidentally walked into the steel doors as someone was walking out without swiping my metro card. I was approached by him and he said that he was going to gave me a $300 ticket. I importuned him to let me go-of course with a sweet, innocent simper. He said ok-then proceeded to ask if I had a boyfriend. I stalled and said ohhhh why? He then asked me out on a date....and miracously the 2 train flew into the station and I said SORRY I have to get on!

From this day on I swear that every Asian cop I see is him. Maybe it is that same Michael Yil on the Qtrain ad.
