Marathon race in Atlanta usa for thanksgiving day parade
Some people said on Facebook and Twitter they would skip the parade this year in light of the new threats, 14 years after the Sep 11, 2001, attacks by al Qaeda that destroyed the World Trade Centre in Manhattan. A school district on New York's Long Island called off a planned December middle-school trip to Manhattan, while Penn State University said it would cancel some student trips to Washington, D.C., and New York.

But New York City officials have a simple response: Don't be scared. "We can't change who we are," Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a public event on Thursday, urging people not to alter their daily lives. "Do we want to play their game? Do we want to give in to them?"
While they haven't given much operational detail, de Blasio and Police Commissioner William Bratton said thousands of police officers will be out in force on Thursday during the parade, which typically draws millions to the streets of Manhattan.

Security efforts will be bolstered by a new counter-terrorism unit, Critical Response Command, that includes more heavily armed officers. Another unit created this year to respond to large protests and other incidents requiring more manpower will also assist patrol officers.
Bratton said people should feel confident that the department is able to handle any threat. His own grandchildren are visiting New York for the first time next week and will attend the parade, he said. "Celebrate, be aware, but do not be afraid," he said at a press conference this week to address the Islamic State video. "The NYPD will protect you."

State and transportation law enforcement also stepped up efforts ahead of the parade. Governor Andrew Cuomo on Monday announced the launch of an application allowing New Yorkers to report suspicious activity by sending photos or text messages from their mobile devices to the state's division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services.
