CBS NEW YORK — Two New York City police officers were sitting in a patrol car parked in the heart of Times Square when a man approached Wednesday night and threw what looked like a bomb from his SUV into their car.
It was 11:30 p.m. and Times Square was still teeming with theatergoers, restaurant patrons and the usual throngs of tourists.
The device landed with a thud on the squad car’s dashboard and the man fled in his SUV. Sgt. Hameed Armani and Officer Peter Cybulski stared briefly at the tin-foil-wrapped object and began driving their car, with the object still inside, away from the crowds.
“We knew what each other was thinking. We weren’t going to let anything happen in Times Square,” Cybulski said at a Thursday morning press conference.
“We both said our prayers,” Armani said. “We thought, ‘This is it, you know, we’re not gonna make it.’ But I’m happy I’m not gonna — no one is gonna get hurt.” Â more here
that took some balls to do….salute
They had to duck sniper fire while they did it
And that two faced bitch of a mayor will act all proud,mugging for the cameras.
My hat’s off to Sgt. Hameed Armani and Officer Peter Cybulski. Well done, gentlemen!
Great work guys. Moe Tom is proud of you. “The toughest job in the world.” NYPD.
Something I’ve noticed, as I have a background and quite some training in explosives from military devices to civilian commercial products.
Damn near all of the ‘explosive devices’ seen, found, rounded up, poked at with robots and EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) guys in bomb suits that shut down malls and interstates, just ain’t.
They’re bullshit.
Most of the guys concocting this crap couldn’t make an explosion with a penis and a bottle of hand lotion.
The one’s who do have some talent or training make shit that goes high order (big boom) before anyone knows it’s even there.
There really isn’t any in between.
I’m torn. On one hand I want to oblige him in his desire to die. On the other hand, he can’t suffer a beating every day if he’s 6 ft under.
I would have thrown it through the first Starbucks window I saw and whistled whilst I drove away.
As much of a shithole as New York City is, they have the BEST police force on the planet.
I’d like to kick Comrade Wilhelm in the nuts for not showing them any love.
“don’t worry, it’s just a clock.”
How did they even fit their gonads in the car with them? They must have special cutaway seats or something.
