On Saturday night, members of City Hall and the journalists who are paid to maintain an adversarial relationship with City Hall engaged in their annual display of public onanism. As part of the Inner Circle dinner, a video was produced showing members of the City Hall press corps performing a Gangnam Style parody of the NYPD's stop-and-frisk policy that the city is currently defending in court.
The skit, if you can sit through more than 10 seconds of it, features the New York Post's CIty Hall Bureau Chief, David Seifman, being stopped and frisked for drinking a large soda. Here's the video, with the complete lyrics at bottom:
we've got big hands but we know how to use them gently we're stopping by in neighborhoods where they don't drive a Bently
we don't know why lawyers for the perps say its a big deal
we're just trying to cop a feel
drinking soda here
is definitely a big no no
nursing babies here
is something everyone must forgo
in some neighborhoods they don't appreciate our efforts, think that
we're not fair, think that we're not fair
latinos, and men of color tell us no (no)
we've got to go (go)
in a pickle we like to dickle in their hood
we think it's good
we're just having risky frisk-em style fun fun fun fun fun (Open) frisk em style
frisk em style
frisk em style
frisk em style
