HAVE BEEN DEADLY.
BILL BRATTON RAN THE COP SHOP
IN NEW YORK.
CHECK IT OUT.
>> SCALES RIGHT NOW ARE TIPPED
HEAVILY IN FAVOR OF THE REFORMS
OF THE PROGRESSIVE LEFT.
WELL INTENDED.
SOME NEEDED.
GONE TOO FAR.
WE HAVE A GROWING FEAR CRIME IS
GROWING AND EVIDENCE IN ALMOST
EVERY AMERICAN CITY.
>> Bill: HE IS TALKING ABOUT
THE CRIME WAVE ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
HE RAN THE U.S. POLICE
DEPARTMENT IN THE 90 OSS.
COURTS WERE WELL INTENDED AND
WENT TOO FAR.
SHOOTINGS UP MORE THAN 8%.
ASSAULTS 19, BURGLARY 31.
LEO TERRELL CIVIL RIGHTS
ATTORNEY.
GOOD MORNING TO YOU THERE IN
LOS ANGELES.
NOW, THE MAYOR WAS ASKED ABOUT
BILL BRATTON’S COMMENTS AND HE
SAID THIS ON ABC SUNDAY.
>> MAJOR MISTAKES MADE
THROUGHOUT THE YEARS THAT
DESTROYED THE TRUST THAT THE
POLICE COMMISSIONER IS TALKING
ABOUT.
WE HAVE TO REBUILD THAT TRUST.
WE CAN’T REBUILD THAT TRUST BY
ALLOWING THOSE WHO ARE
DANGEROUS AND THAT HAVE
REPEATED HISTORY OF VIOLENCE TO CONTINUE TO BE ON OUR STREETS.
CONTINUE TO BE ON OUR STREETS.
>> Bill: THAT’S REFERENCE TO
THE REVOLVING DOOR OF JUSTICE
WHEN HE TALKED TO US ALSO.
HOW DO YOU SEE BRATTON’S
COMMENTS WITH MAYOR ADAMS.
>> I SAW YOUR INTERVIEW WITH
THE MAYOR LAST WEEK.
TELL THE AMERICAN PUBLIC
SOMETHING WE DON’T KNOW ALREADY.
EVER SINCE THE GEORGE FLOYD
DEATH THERE HAS BEEN A CRIMINAL
HOLIDAY IN DEMOCRATIC CITIES.
WE KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
THE MAYOR IS TELLING US WHAT WE
KNOW.
CAREER CRIMINALS ARE ALLOWED TO
ROAM THE STREETS.
AND BASICALLY THEY ARE NOT PUT
AWAY. AND THE MAYOR CAN MAKE THE
AND THE MAYOR CAN MAKE THE
ROUNDS ON TELEVISION ALL DAY,
BILL.
THE PROBLEM IS THE SOFT
PROSECUTORS.
UNTIL HE CALLS OUT HELPS
DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES IT WILL
HAPPEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND
EXPECT A SUMMER OF CRIME.
THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER
FOR MAYOR ADAMS.
DO SOMETHING.
>> Bill: THE POLICE
COMMISSIONER KEECHANT SEWELL
TOOK PART IN THE SBRIER ON ABC
SAYING WE CAN’T LOSE SIGHT OF
THE VICTIMS OF CRIME.
WE HAVE KIND OF DONE THAT
HAVEN’T WE, LEO?
>> BILL, EVERY WEEK YOUR
PROGRAM SHOWS THE VARIOUS
CRIPPLES THAT ARE GOING ON IN
DEMOCRAT -- CRIMES IN
DEMOCRATIC CITIES.
TUCKER CARLSON IS TALKING ABOUT
L.A.
IT IS A PATTERN.
DEMOCRATIC CITIES AND MAYORS
AND PROSECUTORS ARE SOFT ON
CRIME.
WE KNOW THIS.
FOR MAYOR ADAMS OR THE
COMMISSIONER TO TELL US WHAT WE
ALREADY KNOW, THEY AREN’T
HELPING US.
THEY ARE PRETENDING TO THINK
THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON THE
PROBLEM.
THEY’RE NOT.
THIS IS SO OBVIOUS.
>> Bill: LET ME GO BACK TO
KEECHANT SEWELL SAID.
I LIKE WHAT SHE IS SAYING.
SHE IS IMPRESSIVE.
WE BELIEVE THE SYSTEM HAS TO BE
FAIR AND BALANCED.
WHEN WE LOSE SIGHT OF THE
VICTIMS OF CRIME WE AREN’T
DOING WHAT PUBLIC SAFETY IS
INTENDED TO DO.
SHE IS SPOT ON.
>> NICE WORDS, BILL.
NICE WORDS.
I CAN GUARANTEE AND MAKE A
PREDICTION NEXT WEEK YOU AND
DANA WILL COVER CRIME IN NEW
YORK CITY OVER THE WEEKEND AND
CHICAGO.
BEAUTIFUL WORDS, BUT ALVIN
BRAGG, GEORGE GASCON, SOFT
PROSECUTORS.
YOU DON’T HEAR HER CRITICIZING
THE PROSECUTOR.
UNTIL THAT HAPPENS FORGET IT.
WE’RE GOING TO EXPECT A SUMMER
CRIME WAVE LIKE THE PORTLAND
SHERIFF OFFICER SAID.
IT WILL HAPPEN AND GOING ON FOR
2 1/2 YEARS.
WHEN WILL IT STOP?
>> Bill: WE’LL WATCH HER WORDS
CAREFULLY.
THAT PORTLAND SHERIFF, THE
SHERIFF IN OREGON OUTSIDE THE
CITY OF PORTLAND SAID WE NEED
TO ACT WITH A SENSE OF URGENCY.
SUMMER IS APPROACHING.
A TIME WHEN WE EXPERIENCE
INCREASED VIOLENCE IN OUR
COMMUNITY.
WITHOUT ACTION WE CAN EXPECT
WORSE TO COME.
THAT’S WHAT YOU JUST SAID.
PORTLAND CRIME STATISTICS.
ASSAULTS UP 9 1/2, HOMICIDES
18, ROBBERIES 36, SEX OFFENSES
UP MORE THAN 4%.
>> BILL, REMEMBER PORTLAND,
REMEMBER THE SUMMER OF 2020,
REMEMBER THE ATTACK ON THE
FEDERAL BUILDING?
TRUMP TRIED TO OFFER THAT CITY
HELP AND SUPPORT?
THEY TURNED IT DOWN.
THEY LET THE CRIMINALS CONTROL
THE STREETS.
SO WE’VE BEEN PLAYING THIS SONG
FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS AND
NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
IT IS MORE TALK AND THEN YOU
COUPLE WITH THE SOUTHERN
BORDER, THAT PORTLAND SHERIFF
IS TALKING ABOUT THE DRUGS THAT
ARE ALSO INFILTRATING
DEMOCRATIC CITIES BECAUSE CRIME
IS TOLERATED, BILL.
>> Bill: LEO, THANK YOU.
SUMMER IS UP SOON, WE KNOW THAT.
LEO, THANK YOU IN LOS ANGELES TODAY.
