I shot a cop and got away with it. br Shooting a baby is easy. Shooting a New York City Cop is hard. It is actually dangerous because you are invading an armed person's physical space. The situation has gravitas and potentially can end in an unexpected outcome. Photos that are harder to take are usually better photos. On a bright sunny day in the Bronx, I briskly walked up to a cop and held my 4 inch paper cut-out about 6 inches from this cops face and before he could react, I snapped this photo. He did detain me with questions but soon after grumpily let me go.
