NYPD Officer Cosplays as ‘It' Clown Pennywise at New York Comic Con
Everything floats down in the subway
•
NY Live pays a visit to NY Comic Con 2017 and meets some very interesting characters.
If Pennywise the clown approaches you in the subway with a balloon, you might want to avoid calling the police — because he is the police.
NYPD Transit Chief Joseph Fox posted a photo to Twitter Saturday of a plainclothes officer in the subway dressed as the murderous clown from the “It” movies.
"With @NY_Comic_Con happening, our plainclothes officers had to step up their game," Fox tweeted, using the hashtag #CosplayCops.
But the clown averse on Twitter weren’t having any of it.
One user summed up the sentiments of many: “NOPE.”
