ALPA's Stance on NYPD Giving Themselves the Power to Shoot Down Planes????

Maybe not. Like it or not NYC is one of the safest big cities in the US. That's not accomplished by having a couple guys in cruisers watching mom pull out of Wallmart and getting her for not signaling.

You have officers on the streets where the people are, walking a beat. You saw how they handled those Wall Street protesters a couple days ago? The protesters would have loved to video a cop giving a severe beat down to one of those clowns but it didn't happen.

You're not going to keep order in a city of 8 million with cops whose focus is parking tickets.

Oh, believe me, the NYPD are more than happy to write you nonsense tickets.

And they did abuse and violate many of the protestors, including macing innocent, orderly girls which has been caught on camera.

Gotta love NYC and their overreach into other jurisdictions. Sort of like when NYPD agents went and bought firearms from a gunshow in AZ.

So how exactly are they going to take down an airliner? Pull up behind it in a helicopter and shoot it down? Barrett 50BMG maybe? Ram it?

They'll use stingers they bought at AZ gun shows.

That dude needs his head examined, but then again so do most of the clowns running NYC....

If some Taliban idiot in East BF Afghanistan can get a stinger, how hard would it be for the NYPD?

That they couldn't sell to the Mexican Drug Kingpins??? I'm sorry, that was the DEA/TSA/ or some group like that.....

It would do my heart good to see the NYPD / Bloomberg get caught up in an illegal arms deal......:laugh:

Just wondering how this scenario would play out:

Say an A320 departs a LGA, but instead of climbing as usual, it starts a descent and unexpectedly turns around and flies very low along the Hudson toward lower Manhattan . . .

That would NEVER happen. Dual engine failure on takeoff and landing in the Hudson. Right. And chuck Norris landed it perfectly, saving all souls onboard. Dude, you've been watching too many movies.

47 people get shot on One Weekend?

That place isn't f in safe at all.

Overbearing lib dominion is...overbearing. Unsurprising.

I hate NY, from any distance.
