WINS Exclusive: De Blasio Urges Vigilance In Wake Of Deadly Paris Attacks

To make good on bet with Kansas City Mayor Sly James, Hizzoner donned a Royals jersey and sang an ode to the World Series victors – the 1950s blues tune “Kansas City”.

Mayor Sly James also collected a few NY cheesecakes, adding to Kansas City’s spoils.

Last year, Hizzoner sang “I Love L.A.” on the Jimmy Kimmel show after losing a Stanley Cup hockey bet on the NY Rangers. Police say there will also be additional police canine teams and there will be an additional security checks on bags.

The French Consulate, the mission to the United Nations and “other sites related to France” were being guarded by heavily armed police in the aftermath of mass killings that rocked Paris, authorities said.

But he said that the NYPD was well equipped to handle any potential threats thanks to the work of former Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, a frequent de Blasio critic, who he said had “tremendous success” preventing any other attacks following 9/11. “But it is a very, very painful thing to see Paris go through this again”.

Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said there have not been any threats in Chicago, but they are monitoring events.

“In the interest of public safety, we remain in constant contact with our federal and worldwide partners to evaluate and respond to any changes in intelligence”, Mr. McCarthy said.

Representatives of the county police forces in both Suffolk and Nassau said they were monitoring developments with the Paris attacks and would deploy officers as necessary.

The NYPD initiated “a counterterrorism overlay”, which is “a plan that we literally keep on the shelf”, Miller said.

“To call it un-American is an understatement”, de Blasio said in an interview with WNYC’s Brian Lehrer.

“From a NY City perspective, you know, obviously our lives go on, and NYPD is extraordinarily able to protect, where we have a very, very substantial anti-terrorism force – we’ve added to it in recent months so there’s even more capacity”.

“New York City is proud to stand with France and share their clear message: these cruel attempts to intimidate and threaten the people of Paris will not succeed”.
