I keep wondering, ‘Where is the National Guard? Why don’t we see any aerial shots of them going down streets helping people and giving out aid?’ As you put it, the “urban assault vehicles” and assets we saw during Hurricane Katrina (despite the awful Democratic Party resistance to Bush’s early overtures of help).
I did see one photo in the news of a long line of Hummers (filled with politicians) observing the damage in (I believe it was the D.C. area).

I think Bloomberg wanted his cops to do the job saying he didn’t want more people with guns on his streets
