1. It’s only money.

2. There’s more where that came from.

3. Officer Nemo still has a cushy taxpayer funded job with benefits and retirement.

I don’t really see the problem./s

I’d be tempted to claim salvage rights and take it. Nice boat.

I know it is basically ‘covered’ in the yadda etc BUT

Many a Submariners career ended for the want of sleeping with open windows.....

And that, Gov. Romney, is why the windows don’t open on airplanes.

THAT is a 1/2 million dollar boat? Sure is easy to spend other people’s money.

As someone said, the cops all still have their jobs for life and their fat protected, inflation proof early retirements.

Isn’t that nice?

Life is hard.

“The 37-foot M-2 Moose Boat, equipped with firefighting hoses, nozzles, marine radios, radar, GPS, scuba gear and inflatable rafts...

It was really fitted out!

But...it will have to be replaced, and people will have to build and outfit it. Sounds like a win-win for the economy to me...kind of like Cash for Clunkers.

Yeah. They should just go ahead and sink them all! Give the cops a medal for meritorious service!

Capital idea.

“...took the advice of a clueless civilian safety instructor”

If he loses his job with the Port Authority, he sounds like a natural fit as a replacement ref in the utterly inept NFL.

There’s actually a video of the maintenance crew working on the boat:

Actually this was a job well done. Now they can’t go and harass any mariners for a while.

The sidelining of the boat is big blow to the PA’s efforts to keep the waters off JFK safe.

Oh no! Now the water will be teaming with pirates! What ever shall we do????
