Sure, but who cares? It's still loads of fun watching the police struggling with all this.

Sure, there is simply no way to tell the difference between the political speech and common people talking. New York is a scary place to live, if its police is that bright.
True, but it's not really a problem.
Spoiler:
Replace the political speech by a play, or a movie soundtrack, and there you have it.
That's just a slight slip.

My point is: this movie isn't brilliant, and it's not a masterpiece. It's just the best movie of its genre that I've seen: fun, beautifully made, efficient (and for the record, I loathe Usual Suspect).
