Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) January 04, 2013Real-life superhero and Newark, N.J., mayor Cory Booker is the man to tweet if anything (aside from a Hot Pockets shortage) isn’t quite right in your neighborhood. A pothole? Filled. That shady-looking guy on the bike? Booker’s on it.
I think @CoryBooker might be some kind of superhero. Awesome-Human-Man?—

@CoryBooker Your new name is Mayor Dad, because that's exactly what my dad would do, come right over and stare the guy down.—

Um, isn’t this what police are for?
@CoryBooker Or the cops. The cops might be good in this situation. Can't do everything, Cory.—

@CoryBooker @Ktcruzz You are so going to be president. (But call the cops instead of going yourself. Because, we need you as president.)—

Maybe not. One constituent asserts that the Newark Police Department has a bad habit of harassing African-American men, and Booker doesn’t seem to disagree.
@CoryBooker we have a serious problem with NPD officers harassing African-American males. Who do I speak to? This needs to be resolved ASAP.—

You speak to me. I sent you my cell #. Text me. We'll also hopefully be getting Federal support from DOJ soon 2 improve practices @YvetteeeW—

Uh oh. The DOJ, as in Eric “My People” Holder’s Department of Justice? Were the Newark Police aware that the feds might be paying a visit to “improve practices”? If not, they are now.
In the meantime, if some guy on a bike needs to be harassed, you know the Twitter handle.
