Update: Just Because…

Via kenneth in the (212)

I’m updating this post from yesterday as the hunky cop pictured above was discovered by much of the internet as the pic went viral within a few hours.

It seems the interwebs are all into (newly identified) New York City Sheriff’s department Deputy Miguel Pimentel, a former Marine, who finds himself in a viral vortex of attention.

From the New York Daily News:

Pimentel joined the Marines when he was 21 and served his country for 10 years, completing three tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan.

“I was on the Marine Corps body building team my last year in the Marines and I liked it right away,” Pimentel said. “Ever since then it’s been a part of my life.”

He joined the Sheriff’s Department in 2013, the same year he won the National Physique Committee New Jersey State Championships for amateur bodybuilding.

Canada: Hot Cop Goes Hot Pink For International Day Of Pink

Officer Luke Watson rocks the pink hair to stop bullying

Toronto Officer Luke Watson got a new look this week when his partner, Ryan Willmer, told the Twitterverse that Wilson would dye his hair pink if the tweet got 500 retweets.

Willmer didn’t ask his fellow officer before making the pitch. By the time Watson got to the police station over 560 retweets (and more) had spread across Twitter. Watson took the challenge and ran.

Watson and fellow officers spent time visiting schools and talking about the effects of bullying. From DayOfPink.org:

The International Day of Pink is a day where communities across the country, and across the world, can unite in celebrating diversity and raising awareness to stop homophobia, transphobia, transmisogyny, and all forms of bullying.

The International Day of Pink was started in Nova Scotia when 2 straight high school students saw a gay student wearing a pink shirt being bullied. The 2 students intervened, but wanted to do more to prevent homophobic & transphobic bullying. They decided to purchase pink shirts, and a few days later got everyone at school to arrive wearing pink, standing in solidarity. The result was that an entire school took a stand and began working together to prevent homophobic & transphobic bullying.

The hashtags #StopBullyingNow and #DayOfPink trended for hours as major media covered the story.

It doesn’t hurt that Watson is easy on the eyes, does it?
