Humint Events Online: Police Officers with Machine Guns in NY City Subways

Jaysus.

Supposedly to prevent suicide bombings-- but mostly pure malice/idiocy.

Robert said...: This is not new. Have seen these goons for a while now here in nYc. They regularly hang out at the Lexington Ave. Subway exit under the CitiCorp building where I get off to go to work. Usually about 7-8 fat guys dressed in combat gear with M-4's and dogs standing around doing nothing. Truly pathetic.; 2:31 AM
nickname said...: It's a "show of force" strategy designed to deter crime, and isn't prevention a better idea than the alternative?

Police: n. Armed force for protection and participation.; 9:12 AM
Anonymous said...: Total PSYOP, cops and military. I see them every day in midtown and they still have occasional "emergency drills" where 6-12 cop cars drive around with sirens and lights on. People are being desensitized, nobody feels safer (and nobody asks questions, either.); 7:37 PM
