One Brooklyn
September 25, 2014
“In the wake of the potential terrorist threat to New York City’s subway system, I am confident the NYPD, in partnership with state and federal authorities, will raise their high standards for securing our residents to an even greater level. As New Yorkers, we cannot afford to dismiss any threat; our continued awareness and attentiveness is needed as we go about our daily business.
“I do want to express my disappointment in Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio for missing the mark today on assuring this entire city, not just those in Manhattan, that their security is a top priority. The fact is that their symbolic subway rides followed the typical pattern of ignoring the impact that terror concerns have on Brooklyn and the other boroughs, which are also potentially at risk. I look forward to hearing more specifics on the particular security measures that are being put in place to keep Brooklynites safe should harm come our way.”
