we are here to 179 our officers and work with them. mr. mayor, you need to have a sit down and you need to get everything corrected from the mayor s office down. this is wrong. good for you. that was a spokesman for the family of officer raphael ramos. if police officers now have to worry about protecting themselves given the circumstances of what is going on, who is going to protect us? former nypd lieutenant john rafferty joins us now. how do you answer that question? police have to be concerned about copycats. have seen things on the internet, shoot police. unfortunately before this happens, all my friends told the police department, they feel their hands are tied. they have an administration that they will look forever the
they are really the line between us and kay yos. rudy giuliani i will go back to the same question. you got experience. with law enforcement you cleaned up the city in a way no one thought it could be cleaned up. how do we get out of this mess? i am going to ask you to think about one more thing. if the police are worried about themselves and their own safety, that takes away from their ability of justifiably on their part to take care of us. no question about that. human beings if they are crucified for what they do they will be careful. it tuz have an impact. we have to go broader than that. this is not a racial problem. this is a crime problem not a racial problem. there is no more a racial problem than the mafia with ethnic problem with the italians.
careful when they have a connection with a police officer or have an encounter with a police officer. it is different for a white child. it is the reality of this country. what decade are you living in? the police so outraged they created a don t insult my service form signed new york city cops telling the mayor to stay away from their funerals in the event they are killed in the line of duty. and ironically and tragically within a week, in that very same brooklyn, a newlywed and a father of two sitting in a marked car eating lunch, five days before christmas shot in the head point blank range, execution style by a scum bag thug who proudly signalled they take one of ours. let s take two of theirs and referencing michael brown and

the press . i got plenty of criticism about the problem is black on black crimes not police on black crimes. the police account for i don t know less than 1 percent of the shootings vooving blacks. blacks account for 92 percent of the shootings. blacks commit murder 5-6 times per capita. they try to say it s white on white crime, too. in fact in new york city only 8 percent of the people who commit murder is white. there s nothing racist about what i just said. what i just said is called the truth. if you don t you start engaging in propaganda, denial and all of the kind of stuff you quoted to before for someone to describe the president or attorney general is a systemic problem is absurd. is it a systemic problem it s an occasional problem in police
