They come from partisan squabbles, from political posturing. From a mayor who's so image-conscious that he's willing to round up 500 cops from all five boroughs and have the lot of them comb Central Park, inch by inch, on a 100-degree day. All so they *might* catch one stray reptile who probably wouldn’t survive the winter anyway.
