Tragedies give us the opportunity to come together as a nation to find our balance again. i first saw the video, i was horrified and still am horrified every time i see it. as you know, eric garner, is gasping for breath saying i can t breathe, i can t believe this goes on. that was rand paul last night talking to wolf blitzer. you see the two candidates, potential candidates, they have areas of agreement when it comes to criminal justice reform. but hillary clinton focused a lot more on the state of relations between police and the black community. you saw rand paul focusing more on sentencing. saying that sentences for drug offenses, minor offenses, they should be reduced. so some agreement, but you certainly see some contrasts, rand paul saying taxes are to blame. the new york city cigarette tax more than $5 a pack. of course police were trying to ....
Information. my good friend bill bratton, think what you hear from him is that he is not tone-deaf to the issues he s very much aware of the relationship he s trying to build. he s brought in to address that situation, much like i ve been brought in to address the situation of the public trust within the city of baltimore. i ve had the opportunity to do the same thing in the city of long beach, in the city of oakland, in california. i want to talk about some of the things you ve done. they seem to be exactly what police departments around the country are talking about right now. you say that you have had to train your officers to be aware of their own bias, everyone has bias, of course, it s our blind spot. so how are you opening your officers eyes to that? the first thing you have to start with is to understand that if crime is, if crime is down, but that community is no better off than what it was prior to you going in, then you haven t served the community. number two, you have ....
