LOS ANGELES (AP) — The New York and Los Angeles police departments have been poking fun at their rivalry via twitter and debating whether the film "Die Hard" is a Christmas movie.
The fun began when the NYPD thanked their perceived rivals for working to protect Christmas since "Hans Gruber's 1988 attack on Nakatomi Plaza"

The LAPD responded saying that the NYPD will always be more than welcome to "follow in McClane's footsteps & come to the (better coast."
