Heroic cops stopped a car bomb from blowing up in the heart of Times Square Saturday night, officials told the Daily News.
Two female cops patrolling the area noticed a man fumbling with something in the back of a Nissan SUV parked on the southwest corner of 45th St. and Broadway about 7 p.m. The man saw the officers looking and took off running.
The two cops went to the car and saw smoke, clusters of canisters and heard something fizzing, a source said. The quick-acting cops called for backup, and the bomb squad was on the way as the Crossroads of the World was evacuated.

I really hope trey and matt did place themselves in the face of danger of this magnitude. From what I have read of this vehicle bomb, it was really serious. Whatever transgressions they made or taboos they broke, they don’t deserve this, and neither does anyone else.
Muslims really need to lighten up. Someone offends them, and they murder with WMD’s (powerful car bomb). Who has committed the greater crime? They are fanatical, homicidal maniacs.
I smell a set up by Obmama cronies? Will they blame the tea parties?
FOX News is covering this live
Why did they or one of the officers, not pursue and apprehended the suspect?
Praise God for their actions and their safety!
Go to the FReepathon thread and give it a bump if you've already donated.
OR
Adopt a Liberal if you'd like to do something more.
Or a Koran...
Because determining the threat to the public, need for evacuation, and neutralizing the explosive was a much higher priority
When’s the Reichstag fire? Martial Law means no elections in November. Two years ago I’d have mocked someone who said that. Now....
Revenge with bombs is OK for them. Only the person who offended them committed a crime. Their revenge is not a crime to them. And the West better wake up to this mindset.
FOX is covering it LIVE?!
During a WEEKEND?!?!
Wow! I thought that station was in autopilot during the weekends.
Wrong....There were two officers, both with radios. One chases the suspect, one stays at the suspect vehicle and contacts backup/assistance.
Sounds very similar to a car bomb the Brits intercepted in London about 2 years ago.
wrong. they always have a blond chick on the ready.
this one looks like she has a cold sore, tho........
All other threads should link to this one. Most detail yet.
bttt

And if you'd read the article, it clearly indicates, "The quick-acting cops called for backup "
It does not take two cops to call for back up on a radio...One chases the suspect, and one secures the scene until backup arrives....
This clearly did not happen, and the suspect/suspects at this point, is free to try again....

Did Obama say the police “acted stupidly”?
