It's Pride Week in NYC, and the NYPD is ready for the crowning event: The big Pride March on Sunday. But some police vehicles are already getting into the spirit. Yesterday, the Orlando Police Department Tweeted a photograph of an NYPD SUV with rainbow details, "Some love from NYPD. Thank you All!. #OrlandoUnited"
On a window, it says, "Our ♥ goes out to Orlando," and on a door, instead of "Courtesy, Professionalism, Respect," it says, "Pride, Equality, Peace."
The NY Post noted the vehicle "carries the letters FSD, which stands for Fleet Services Division, on its side." Today, the vehicle (or another like it!) was outside Police Commissioner Bratton's press conference:

But there's a bigger question that remains: Will hot cops be dancing along the parade route? Will spectators hold their phones horizontally and share the videos with the world? Here are two of New York's Finest throwing down:

The march steps off at noon on Sunday, June 26th; it starts at 36th Street and Fifth Avenue, travels down Fifth Avenue and makes its way to end at Christopher and Greenwich Streets (here's a PDF of the parade route).
