NYPD: "Yeah but what if all those guys are actually wrong"

"Actually, it was YOUR fault the government screwed up"

"Being the victim in a domestic incident casts doubt on your moral character"

"Your application for [permit you didn't apply for] has been denied"

"Whoops I accidentally shredded your documents while working on your application"

"Heads I win, tails you lose"

The NYPD License Division: We just make up the rules as we go.

"Okay maybe our reasons for initially denying you weren't so good"

*Makes up new reason*

"You can get a hearing if we're going to take away your gun license, but not if we're going to deny your application in the first place."
