The article contains some appeals to authority and a dichotomous depiction, but overall the authors provide accurate information and do not make any fallacious arguments. The NYPD officials are quoted as stating that there are no credible threats to the city for the July 4th celebrations, which is an appeal to authority. However, this statement does not contain a fallacy as it is a factual assertion made by the authorities. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction of safety being top of mind and large groups gathering on unsecured building rooftops or fire escapes being dangerous. This sets up a false dichotomy between two options, but it does not contain a fallacy as it is an accurate representation of the situation.
][NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey] You can expect increased security. We’ll have all our assets out there. We’ll make sure that our viewing areas are safe.[][
][Department of Buildings Commissioner Jimmy Oddo] But the fact is, it is simply not safe to have large groups gather on unsecured building rooftops or fire escapes, where one false step can result in life-altering consequences.[][
