NYPD chief: Police could take down plane if needed
NEW YORK (AP) -- The chief of the New York Police Department says city police could take down a plane if necessary. Commissioner Ray Kelly tells CBS' "60 Minutes" that after the Sept. 11 attacks, he decided the city couldn't rely on the federal government alone. He set about creating the NYPD's own counter-terrorism unit. He says the department is prepared for multiple scenarios and could even take down a plane.

Oh...but it's for our *safety* !! (Be sure to quickly pan camera to the wringing hands of the bloviating fat*ss NYPD official)
Ah, you gotta love the NYPD. With a budget that tops the military budgets of at least a third of the world's nations, why shouldnt they have air-to-air missiles, AA guns on top of buildings and all sorts of other goodies?
Great. I would like to know what weapons system they have to take down a plane. Also, i hope they realize that when they shoot something down, it has to crash somewhere... This is just asinine.
It is nice that they have something but as you say, it has to crash somwhere. Unless they have developed some kind of death ray that will vaporize something, more pieces than were flying will fall and will the impact be worse than the original target??????
Wayne...no worries they got it all planned out.
I agree with ya. They probably think it's just gonna all blow up bits and all but when aircraft debris rains down that's even worst than a plane crashing into something. (well not really but as in debris it's a more damage zone as they fly everywhere in flames)
Ray Kelly needs his head examined . Can the NYPD do a better job then the Air Force , the Navy , the Marines ??? . And as others have mentioned , what about the collateral damage ? . A farcical and egotistical waste of money and resourses .
