With all due respect, it is quite easy to overpower foot patrols and squad car patrols. The terrorists have been improving upon this type of assault over the years. Look at the strike in SA (Kobar) only a few weeks ago. Pack a few trucks with jihadis and explosives and they can barrel right through that level of security. You can't defend against a military style assault with "police power". We need road blocks, 50 caliber machine guns, and anti-tank armaments to withstand that kind of assault.
I don't what kind of machine guns the FRB police carry, but they look impressive.
And there are barricades by the NYSE and some near the FRB.
I've lived in this neighborhood for more than a few years, and I can now tell when the alert level is up, just by watching the FRB cops.
But still, with suicidal jihadis rollling into Manhattan South with truck bombs and AK74s....it wont be pretty
