NEW YORK (AP) — There have been a lot of police officers keeping an eye on the Occupy Wall Street protest and a lot of protesters keeping their eyes on the police — but probably only one officer who's been looked at for what he's wearing as much as what he's doing.
A plainclothes officer who's been working as a community affairs agent at the lower Manhattan protest is gaining some Internet fame for his un-stereotypical appearance, like a cool college professor.
Detective Rick Lee has been nicknamed the Hipster Cop online in tongue-in-cheek blog posts due to his more-fashionable-than-your-average-officer look, replete with cardigans, skinny ties, professorial-style glasses and side-swept hair.

Lee, who sometimes wears slim-fit jeans when he's off duty but not when he's working because the police department wouldn't approve, said the fashion choices that have made the Internet take notice also help him talk to people at the protest.
"In general, most people don't realize I'm a cop," he said. "I don't fit the mold."
Not fitting the stereotypical look of other plainclothes officers, who dress more casually, "breaks down a lot of walls," he said.
