Crime down. how to be wary around cops and that s a universal story that applies to fathers of black sons. he should tell his son that privately if he feels that s appropriate. he doesn t have to say it publicly. no he does not. designee has to say it publicly because it s true. this san important question, though. cops routinely are picking guys, hold on one second. this is an important discussion to have. mika, let s have it right now. just because it s true does the mayor of new york city have to say it? it s one thing for howard dean to say it. he has. it s one thing for me to say it. i have. it s one thing for to you say it. you have. there s a lot of things, howard as governor you knew as true but you couldn t say it. maybe it s not the smart thing for a new york city mayor to say that in press conferences. ....
