New York’s Police Commissioner Ray Kelly has increased security at the Israeli consulate, synagogues and other Jewish cultural institutions throughout all five boroughs of the city as a result of Iranian threats against Israel and the Jews.
Besides threats against Israel, Iran continues to accuse the U.S. government of plotting against their regime and warned officials in Washington, DC, that they will retaliate against any threat posed by the U.S. military.
According to NYPD Police Officer Edna Aguayo one of the most difficult targets to protect is the Mass Transit System. In the past when on high-alert heavily armed police and bomb sniffing dogs are posted outside potential targets. In addition, random package checks are conducted at subway stations throughout the city.
White House officials believe Israel may be planning an attack on Iran’s nuclear program as early as this Spring. Should they strike, Iran has vowed to retaliate against Israel and its U.S. interests.
Israeli governmental buildings and Jewish soft targets like synagogues and community centers have been placed on high alert.
White House officials believe Israel may be preparing an attack on Iran’s nuclear program sites and Iran has vowed to retaliate against Israel and its U.S. interests.
The NYPD said it is increasing security at synagogues and other Jewish institutions after talks between President Barack Obama and Israeli officials about a possible attack to prevent the Iranians from constructing a nuclear weapon.
The city has invested millions of dollars in state-of-the-art equipment and vehicles. For example, as reported in the Examiner, the New York City Police Department’s acquisition of new, high-tech equipment will help police officers keep the city safe from terrorists: the NYPD’s Harbor Unit now possesses unmanned underwater drones to help bomb technicians and emergency services unit officers to detect suspected underwater explosives.
The NYPD now possesses six underwater drones, with each costing between $75,000 and $120,000 depending on the drones’ capabilities.
These drones help to sweep the city’s waterways and bridges searching for possible bombs and IEDs (improvised explosive devices). In a recent drone demonstration, NYPD officers easily tossed the lightweight — sixteen pound — submersible equipped with lights and sonar into the harbor and sailed it beneath the hull of a large commercial tanker docked close to the Kings County (Brooklyn) Army Terminal.

Imagine two white grandmothers taken this way. (You can’t, it’s inconceivable, I can’t picture it.) No where can one film two white grandmothers being taken away in unmarked cars.
*Raw Footage* Elders Arrested By NYPD in Harlem Jan. 5, 2012

S&F is a crime against humanity, God says. Every single Brownsville cop is going to hell, I deduce?
Do Black and Brown children of this city deserve no more than criminalization and ridicule? How many unarmed kids did the NYPD kill this week?
Oink Bloomberg, oink Kelly. If you murder an unarmed youth in the bathroom of his home in front of his grandmother and his little sister, because he had five bucks worth of pot on him, you should expect anger. You should expect to be called a pig and run out of town. You’re a pig, get out, may God smite you down, Amen. The NYPD’s problem is that it’s being run like a corporation. Corporations are not good at keeping youth safe.
Kelly is a warmonger and a businessman. Our complacency is a testament to the totality of his police state: indeed our complacency is the goal of the open-air prisons he’s made of marginalized neighborhoods.
We want our streets back. We should be moving into an era in which the cops do less. Instead, they are doing more and more. Collectively and peacefully we gotta stand up. We all have cameras – there’s no logical reason we can’t cop-watch this cop problem away. Cameras on.
Film the NYPD saying, “I’m just doing my job.” We’re creating an online museum of the New Jim Crow. We will shame these thugs in perpetuity. Their grandchildren will know what they did for a living. Their great-grandchildren will know.
NYPD is profiting from the pain and suffering of People of Color. The crime rate, we are to believe, is down. Oink oink bang bang, every day the same old thang: UF-250, UF-250, UF-250, repeat…
A school bus goes by this scene of degradation at the end of the video. I’m just saying the kids inside are probably forming their ideas about the police. If the youth have anger, it may be rational – just saying we may have to address it as legitimate, their hurt. We may have to validate their testimonies.
Telling them to pull up their pants is a joke.
Our youth wear hoodies cause it’s cold out.
Go arrest a banker.
