But if he only rides with hired guns to protect him, then he\u2019s not qualified to say whether it\u2019s safe or unsafe.<\/p>\n<p>For now, I\u2019ll stick with my opinion the subways are as safe as you are when a crazed pit bull who hasn\u2019t eaten in a week has your neck in his jaws.

There is no solution other than to reverse the destructive policies and laws that have led to this \u2014 and to restore the support and protection that the NYPD deserves and needs to operate effectively.
