The department asked followers on its official Twitter account, NYPDNews, to post photos of themselves with officers:
"Do you have a photo with a member of the NYPD? Tweet us & tag it #myNYPD."
The #myNYPD hashtag quickly took off when people began tweeting unflattering photos of the New York City officers, and became a trending topic.
Many of them showed the NYPD wrestling with demonstrators, pointing or swinging weapons at civilians and even sleeping on the train.
