guardians slain. black lives matter and cops lives matter to. it would not make a difference whether it was a judge assassin natalled for doing his job. stop trying to fix the police. fix the ghetto. fights are very conflicted are they going to be supported? now police officers are being reactive. they are trying to protect themselves. we don t have any support from the political class. commissioner i have been down to the wall in washington more than 21,000 names etched on it law enforcement killed in the line of duty. i have talked to a number of police officers. they do feel they are under siege. are they under siege and if so, what has happened? yeah. think there has been a shift, yes. i think police have a right to feel that they are somewhat under siege. you see these outright assassinations we have on here in new york. two police officers were killed. and this is really disgraceful. cops are are
standing custom and practice on the part of the police. it s well-founded in the common plows of the supreme court decision. terry vs. ohio validated it. it s on the books in every jurisdiction in america. it is a tool that police officers absolutely need. and i think there was a mistake in decision by the district court here in new york the mayor refused to go forward with an appeal even after the judge was reduced in that case. we have the practice greatly reduced and greatly diminished in new york city. in its height it amounted to less than one stop a week by a pa control officer and less than one patdown every two weeks. it wasn t excessive in my mind. but the activists got ahold of this issue, ran with it and now the practice is greatly curtailed in new york city and in other jurisdictions as well. well, i just want to
the motion to change venue will be hard by judge williams tomorrow. we know that in this is going to have an impact on the judge s decision. why? your potential jury pool has heard that the city of baltimore is paying $6.4 million to the family of freddie gray. one thing i want the viewers to understand is the following. three and a half months of negotiations allegedly went into the 6.4-million-dollar payout. as a trial lawyer, that s a pretty fast pay out for billy murphy the family attorney for freddie gray. i will tell you that dandy johnson was a case in 2010 went to trial somewhat like that. he didn t linger for a long time freddie gray did and the jury returned 7.4 million. this is a loor amount of settlement. but the city, the mayor is dead wrong that she couldn t have held that one off until two years down the road because the officers wouldn t have had to testify in any of the civil cases. what in the world? why are they paying this thing off now in the timing to me is horr
be a change of venue here concerning these officers. the question is are they going to be will there be a change of venue? i have said that they probably would not. but it wouldn t surprise me if the judge put this off for some time so there can be a calming down before the jury hears this case, greta. katie, do you have any problem with the quick the fact that it was done so soon? remember in the o.j. simpson case you had had the criminal case first and then you had the civil case and that s why o.j. could be compelled to testify at the deposition civil case gone through the jeopardy of the criminal trial. is there any reason that mayor, that city, had to settle this now before the criminal trial is resolved? absolutely not. it doesn t speak to the disposition to either one of those cases. here is the other thing for you guys to think about. maybe, just maybe, i you know this sounds crazy, this benefit of the cops. maybe the jury hearing that the family got 6.4 million says to
of this had poison the well. fact is they had three and a half years and they completely screwed it up. and the product, i mean, in some sense, it s saving them because if people were able to get access to the product, they would know that it isn t cheap, ant it isn t good. they are going to know that soon enough which is why i think the republicans have stond back a little bit. exactly. we have discussed. this kathleen sebelius is going to get worked over by the republicans next week. they are going to come after her. we have had her in our innings with the former governor of kansas about the late term abortionist george tiller who was assassin natalled. sebelius enabled that man to kill babies for any reason. and the proof of that is that tiller has lost medical license. kansas authorities found that the whole thing was bogus. all of the reasons they gave, sebelius and sebelius was in on this from day one
