>> Bill: INTERESTING WHAT SHE
HAS TO SAY THE DAY AFTER.
>> Dana: LET’S BRING IN TED
WILLIAMS.
FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER
WASHINGTON, D.C. HOMICIDE
DETECTIVE.
THAT’S A BRAVE WOMAN THAT
DIDN’T NEED TO GO THROUGH THAT.
SHE IS A MOTHER AND YOU HAVE A
BUS DRIVER WHO IGNORED PLEAS TO
STOP AND A MAYOR WHO WASN’T
AWARE THIS HAD HAPPENED AND
SAID WE DON’T WANT TO SEE THAT
IN OUR CITY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> I’VE HEARD SHE WAS A VERY
BRAVE WOMAN, DANA, UNDER THE
CIRCUMSTANCES.
THIS WOMAN WAS ON THE BUS
THERE, SHE WAS SITTING DOWN AND
A WOMAN GOT ON THE BUS WITH TWO
CHILDREN AND SHE GAVE THEM HER
SEAT AND THEN SHE HEARD THESE
YOUNG KIDS USING PROFANITY AND
SHE IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO STOP
THEM AND THEY BEGAN TO ASSAULT
HER.
THE THING THAT IS VERY
TROUBLING ABOUT THIS, DANA, IS
THAT INDIVIDUALS JUST STOOD
AROUND AND WATCHED.
YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THE
BUS DRIVER, WHO HAS AN
EMERGENCY BUTTON, WOULD HAVE
USED THAT EMERGENCY BUTTON TO
CALL LAW ENFORCEMENT.
SADLY, DANA, THIS IS WHERE WE
ARE UNFORTUNATELY WHEN IT COMES
TO CRIME ESPECIALLY ON THESE
TRANSIT SYSTEMS IN OUR COUNTRY
AT THIS TIME.
>> Dana: SO ON A BUS LIKE THAT,
BUS DRIVER HAS A BUTTON THEY
COULD CALL FOR POLICE
IMMEDIATELY?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
MOST OF THESE BUSES ARE
EQUIPPED WITH EMERGENCY
SWITCHES WHERE IF THEY ARE
BEING ROBBED, IF THERE IS AN
ASSAULT GOING ON ON THE BUS
THEY CAN IMMEDIATELY CALL FOR
ASSISTANCE.
APPARENTLY UNDER THE
CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH WE’VE
HEARD HERE, THAT WAS NOT DONE.
>> Dana: YOU MENTIONED TRANSIT
CRIME.
CALL FOR 3, NEW YORK CITY CRIME
STATS AND CRIME UP 41.4%.
ERIC ADAMS, THE MAYOR, HE IS
TRYING TO LEAD THE CITY BUT HE
SAID THIS ABOUT PERCEPTION THAT
HAS PEOPLE CONFUSED.
WATCH HERE.
>> WE’RE DEALING WITH ACTUAL
CRIMES, THOSE EIGHT HOMICIDES
AND WE’RE DEALING WITH THE
PERCEPTION OF FEAR THAT PEOPLE
ARE FEELING.
THAT’S THE COMBINATION.
WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE
PERCEPTION AND ACTUAL CRIME.
WE CAN’T GET AWAY FROM THE FACT
WE HAVE 3.5 MILLION PEOPLE
USING THE SUBWAY SYSTEM AND
HAVE TO BE HONEST ABOUT THAT.
THE AVERAGE OF SIX CRIMES A DAY
IS NOT GIVING THE IMPRESSION
THAT OUR SYSTEM IS OUT OF
CONTROL.
>> Dana: HE MAY NOT HAVE HEARD
THE PHRASE PERCEPTION IS
REALITY, TED.
>> PERCEPTION IS REALITY AND
PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING, DANA.
I THINK IF THE MAYOR HAD TO
RELISTEN TO WHAT HE SAID HERE,
HE WOULD WANT TO WALK THAT BACK.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT IN NEW YORK,
IF YOU ARE ON THE SUBWAY, THERE
HAVE BEEN INDIVIDUALS KILLED,
PUSHED IN FRONT OF TRAINS, ON
THE SUBWAY YOU’VE SEEN VIDEOS
OF INDIVIDUALS ASSAULTED.
WE’VE HAD WOMEN RAPED ON SUBWAY
PLATFORMS, AND IT IS
UNREALISTIC AND THE MAYOR
STICKING HIS HEAD IN THE SAND
IF HE BELIEVES THAT PERCEPTION
IS NOT REALITY.
PERCEPTION IS REALITY.
WE’VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING TO
BRING CRIME SPECIFICALLY ON THE
SUBWAY STATION UNDER CONTROL.
ESPECIALLY IN NEW YORK THERE.
>> Dana: WE ALSO HAD THIS VIDEO
OUT OF PHILADELPHIA WHERE YOU
HAD THESE I DON’T KNOW HOW OLD
THERE WERE YOUTHS ATTACKING
POLICE RIDING ATVs ILLEGALLY
AND ATTACKING THEM WITH BOTTLES.
THE PENALTIES FOR ATTACKING AND
ASSAULTING A POLICE OFFICER
HAVE TO BE INCREASED.
JUDGE JEANINE TALKS ABOUT IT OH
THE FIVE A LOT.
A PROSECUTOR IN PHILADELPHIA
WHO DOESN’T BELIEVE IN THAT.
>> YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO HAVE
ASK YOURSELF WHAT’S GOING ON IN
THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE
WHEN, IN FACT, YOU CAN ASSAULT
POLICE OFFICERS AND GET AWAY
WITH IT?
IT IS INCONCEIVABLE TO ME THAT
ANY POLITICIAN, ANY CITY
OFFICIAL WOULD WANT THIS TO GO
ON IN THEIR CITY.
AND DANA, GUESS WHAT?
THE PUBLIC IN THESE MAJOR
METROPOLITAN CITIES, THEY SEE
WHAT IS GOING ON.
LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS WHO JUST
WANT TO WALK DOWN THE STREET
AND FEEL SAFE.
THEY DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THESE
MAJOR METROPOLITAN CITIES AND I
HAVE TO TELL YOU, THERE ARE
CITIES ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY
WHERE CRIME IS OUT OF CONTROL.
>> Dana: TED WILLIAMS, THANK
YOU FOR WALKING US THROUGH ALL
OF THAT TERRIBLE STORY DOWN
