“What if there is a Mumbai style attack in New York City? You’re now advertising to the world that your officers can’t shoot. The terrorists are listening.”
Yes, indeed, the terrorist are listening. At least I have a great deal of faith that New York cops will at least engage terrorists who attempt a Mumbai-style attack, unlike the Mumbai police who cowered in fear and were berated by bystanders to “do something”.
I am thankful that terrorists have been unable or unwilling to attempt such an attack: it would have a Hell of a psychological impact, and it would be exploited to increase gun control for all such an incident would be worth, even if the guns were smuggled into the U.S.
