NYPD Preps For ‘Inevitable’ Terrorist Attack On U.S. Soil!
James Waters, the head of the New York Police Department’s Counterterrorism Bureau, believes a terrorist attack on American soil is bound to happen eventually. He says his job is to be ready for when that happens.
Waters told ABC “It’s inevitable that there will be an attack or another attack in this country, but we are well-prepared to respond to that.”
Waters is in charge of the city’s Critical Response Command, the NYPD’s standing unit of specially-trained counterterrorism officers. The unit is designed so at least 100 officers can respond to a threat at any time.
ABC News visited the unit ahead of the Fourth of July weekend to learn about precautions the city is taking. There’s been no credible threats made to New York City or any other U.S. city over the holiday weekend, but the department is still in a heightened state of readiness.
As part of its operations, the NYPD monitors video from 9,000 surveillance cameras placed around the city. They also photograph 3 million license plate numbers from vehicles moving through the city every day; that data is kept on file for five years.
It’s an extensive surveillance web and has raised privacy concerns from some New Yorkers. Waters told ABC the system is designed to give New Yorkers the same amount of privacy they can expect in public spaces while still keeping people safe.
New York City has plenty of experience with being singled out as a terrorism target. In April, a hoax “ISIS hit list” prompted the FBI to issue warnings to thousands of random New Yorkers named on the list.

That they helped to create. Doubt it not.
You can thank our idiot Muslim leader for this ! Let him keep bringing in unchecked background radical Muslims into the USA . You know like Europe with their rapist of women and children along with thieves and murders ! How stupid we have become ! The media lies to change the truth ! Most Americans disagree with unchecked Muslims coming into America . Everyone else that became apart of America had to be checked and take special training before becoming an American citizen ! They ought to sew the government for acts against them for having to jump through all the hoops they did to become a citizen . Now because our leader is a Muslim we ought to bring in Muslims free and without any back ground checks or training of how to be a citizen . The stupid thing is they have promised to try and destroy America and its people ! Tell me what’s wrong with this picture ! And where are the watch dogs that are supposed to stop all this garbage ! I guess they are kissing the NWO , Vatican , natzi Esau and UN , Muslim , Ishmael bunches butts too . Our fore fathers would roll over in their graves to know how stupid we have become !
