They were trying to show you hear stories about hagel. Hes lazy. Come on. Theyre trying to demean him. And at the Staff Meetings he agreed with kerry and general dempsey. If they were right, why not . In other words, some people who got to say, got have my opinion, whether or not it whether or not its agrees or disagrees elm think were trying to show theyre shaking things up because things are not going as well as we would like in the middle east, like we were surprised by isil. Oh, general clappers fault. Well, do you want to fire him . No. So, hagel was easy sacrifice because, a. , a republican, who the republicans dont like. And, then you have and of course he wag weakened by the confirmation hearing. Again, ive known chuck. We worked together in the Reagan Administration. He was number two at va. Not 35 years old. A pretty big job. The head of va at the time said, agent orange is no worse than teenage acne. Can you believe that . So hagel said either he goes or i go. He went. That
Was trying to recruit as well. For an example, st. Louis pd, Police Department, st. Louis county Police Department. A lot of these officers of color tend to go to larger agencies which pay more money and more opportunity for advancement. And then he also had himself and others competing for the same population as well, even in private industry. But one thing that i concluded and i made very clear to him, and i talked to a number of my chiefs of Police Administrator colleagues across this country, regardless of what the challenge may be to you, we can no longer accept the fact we cant find any. That is no longer acceptable. What it means, senator, is that departments that struggle with recruitment are people of color. They will have to work harder. They will have to put money in the budget, go outside their communities to recruit, and they may even have to develop within their communities, within their local Public Schools pipelines were children and young people can become police explo
And the question here is, who is eligible, who has what it takes to control the areas that this International Campaign is going to liberate from isis . Definitely it is the assad regime, because as i said, or 16 months the moderate rebels were desperate, and doesnt enjoy any kind of support, either we are talking about weapons or training or financial support. So unfortunately, the people in syria now are not optimistic when they think about this war against terrorism in their country and in iraq, because they think at the end of the day it will help the regime. My last point is, is it a lost case, or is there still hope . This is what gives me hope actually when i think about syria. People are still going to the streets, chanting against the regime. They started to chant against the regime like four years ago, and now they are saying in every single occasion, down with the regime, and down with isis as well. They think they deserve a better choice. They dont have to choose between Bas
Evidence right now. We want you to know it will make a difference. This guy will do it again, we will do something then, perhaps your testimony will matter. Those are hard discussions, what we found in the survey, what makes the biggest difference, they still feel they can trust the system, is that someone is listening and handling their case seriously. Sometimes, when people look at it, it is all about charging, we know that doesnt always happen, it is also about trust. I wonder if you can address that a bit in terms of that trust. Maybe you, chief and why that is an important piece of this. I dont know if i could say it better. That is a great answer. You can have the best investigation, the best advocacy, you can have the most will be and energized and in pursuit of justice because of lack of willing to prosecute. Because of concerns about win loss records, very candidly put. Then you can run into a greater difficulty in getting more people to come forward. Very much what you said.
She is a resource for her on campus. Vestibule is a great word, i think of a hub, having the person who has the knowledge of the systems and can lay out for a survivor what their actions are, is very important. Second round. I think that is a very apt, and articulate discussion of it the way the process can work. Ideally. If the survivor chooses to go to the criminal justice system, but not all survivors may have the decisiveness that this woman evidently d Law Enforcement, they are taking delayed reports, there is no timeframe within which someone has to report, they wont take a report, they will take them. On campus, we have worked with studen studentsed in title nine process, it is true, there is no longer any physical evidence, when a delay has been made. There are other kinds of evidence that can still be collected. I would say, sort of cautiously, yet yes, i recommend Law Enforcement. Mostly, i want to do what they would like. With the you have options program, most people i ment
