And like most armies, the NYPD

  1. Treat most people they interact with as threats, especially in certain areas that they have deemed irredeemably hostile

  2. Have highly suspect dealings oversees that are often against the wishes of the countries that they operate in

Wait there's only 6 armies in the world with over 38,000 members? That doesn't sounds close to right.

After a quick google search I'm right, it's not even in the top 100.

Was about to say they might be going by funding rather than size. But looked it up, and if this Wikipedia article is accurate, that doesn't even get in in the top 20 either.
