Why yes — the Tompkins Square Park patrol tower now has a (fake) Twitter account



In our post about the newly installed NYPD Patrol Tower in the middle of Tompkins Square Park, someone began leaving comments as NYPD TEXT TOWER.

An example of the all-cap comments:

WE DONT SEE HOMELESS IN PARK BUT WE SEE LOTS OF U ON TINDER.

And!

APPOLOGIES TO JAMES FRANCO. PLZ CONTINUE ENJOYING YOUR BAGGED LUNCH.

Now that commenter has taken his or her commenting to Twitter, with the official (unofficial) NYPD TWEET TOWER account.

    I just read the tweets. A couple are funny but most are just the same tired jokes posted when commenting here.
