Maybe Peter Vallone Jr. Is Comfortable With The Fact That The NYPD Has Shit That Can Take Down A Jet But Most Of Us Feel Like, Honestly, It’s A Little Fucked Up

And I am so sick of the Live-Free-Or-Die-esque “we can’t rely on the feds to save us” argument; you’re insane if you think a city bureaucracy of 40,000 isn’t capable of being compromised in some way:

The NYPD can take down terror planes from the skies, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Sunday night.

The city’s top cop answered with a firm “Yes” when “60 Minutes” interviewer Scott Pelley asked if the New York City police had the equipment and training to do so.

“Do you mean to say that the NYPD has the means to take down an aircraft?” asked Pelley.

“Yes, I prefer not to get into the details, but obviously this would be in a very extreme situation,” Kelly answered.
