What happens if the NYPD officers enter a Mosque shoeless, and the must exit swiftly or pursue a suspect? Will they be trained to lace up those tactical boots in seconds?

Is it just me or does it seem that ramadan happens about every 3 months or so?

Hmmm, wonder if the NYPD Muslime Officers Association has a commemoration each 9/11 for the brothers who died piloting those aircraft into the building?

Outreach? Is the NYPD reaching out to the Christian Community? Jewish Community? This is getting out of hand.

There is a bigger picture in which all of the puzzle pieces are not showing themselves at this time. But anyone can bet Obama is tied into everything we see taking place.

Back in calmer days, there was no community outreach. Now that we have community outreach, things are not so calm. There’s a correlation in there somewhere.

ADDITIONAL protection?
As in SPECIAL protection ie more protection then say other groups?
I thought that was against OUR laws?
Can you imagine a group of Christians asking for special protection during Christmas or Easter?
This Country has lost as common sense and really no longer has a spine....
