- 0:11Speaker 2: These unruly nick fans in New York City, which did
- 0:15Speaker 2: embarrassed Uworth City.
- 0:16Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
- 0:16Speaker 2: I know mostly everybody behaved thousands and thousands, but only
- 0:21Speaker 2: takes a couple of people to screw it up for everybody.
- 0:23Speaker 2: And you know that these other cities, all they showed
- 0:25Speaker 2: were buses on fire and idiots dancing on ambulances and
- 0:30Speaker 2: hanging from street lights. So it wasn't a good look
- 0:33Speaker 2: for New York last week. Agree or disagree, I.
- 0:36Speaker 4: Wasn't a good look at all. But our people are
- 0:38Speaker 4: out there, especially our detectors are out there doing their job,
- 0:43Speaker 4: and you know, people keeping people safe, you know, And
- 0:48Speaker 4: it's a shame that you have some of these people.
- 0:50Speaker 4: I want to come to New York and react this way,
- 0:52Speaker 4: whether they be you know, going you know, beating the
- 0:54Speaker 4: heck out of a bus or or beating the heck
- 0:57Speaker 4: out of people going to get against spur fans and
- 1:00Speaker 4: crazy stuff like that. I mean, it was just out
- 1:02Speaker 4: of control. Some of the stories I heard from some
- 1:05Speaker 4: of these detectives that got hurt, and you know what's it.
- 1:08Speaker 4: The next day they were back to work. They got hurt,
- 1:11Speaker 4: They affected arrests, people were out out of jail probably
- 1:14Speaker 4: before they got home. And they still continue to do
- 1:17Speaker 4: their job, whether they come back to work hurt or
- 1:19Speaker 4: you know. And and it's crazy, like everything that's going on.
- 1:22Speaker 4: I called We had about eight detectives hurt in the
- 1:25Speaker 4: last two games, and I called each one of them
- 1:27Speaker 4: and they told me their story. They had one person
- 1:30Speaker 4: grabbing the last game, grabbing one of our members helmets
- 1:33Speaker 4: because they had the helmets on because the bottles being
- 1:36Speaker 4: thrown at them and hitting their head and everything else,
- 1:38Speaker 4: and pulling their straps and bit the guy, and you know,
- 1:43Speaker 4: and and and the bottom was this is what this
- 1:45Speaker 4: is what we're dealing with. This is what law enforcement
- 1:47Speaker 4: deals with in New York City. And and then the
- 1:49Speaker 4: mayor comes out and there was there was a statement
- 1:51Speaker 4: where he said nobody should be threatened or harmed or
- 1:55Speaker 4: abused wearing a spurs jersey. Well how about this, how
- 1:59Speaker 4: about no New York City police officer should be able
- 2:01Speaker 4: to be abused and being people in their faces and
- 2:04Speaker 4: get punched in the face and spit in the face
- 2:07Speaker 4: and everything else that goes on here in New York.
- 2:09Speaker 4: That's what should not be happening. Not a guy with
- 2:11Speaker 4: a spurs jersey walking through you know, matter of a square garden.
- 2:14Speaker 3: Yeah, right, exactly, that guy his ass cake. Not the cop.
- 2:18Speaker 4: Oh.
- 2:18Speaker 2: But on a serious note, you've asked for months. I
- 2:20Speaker 2: played the video on here and it was a very
- 2:24Speaker 2: fair ask, you know. You said, Listen, when my gorgeous
- 2:27Speaker 2: wife walks down the street, you can't be whistling out
- 2:29Speaker 2: her and tell her how hot she is. The mayor
- 2:31Speaker 2: is okay with that, but when a cop walks by,
- 2:33Speaker 2: you can call him or herr a thirty pig and
- 2:35Speaker 2: spitting her face. And you've been begging the mayor for weeks,
- 2:38Speaker 2: for months to please do something about that, and clearly
- 2:41Speaker 2: he's done nothing about it.
- 2:42Speaker 5: Right.
- 2:42Speaker 4: Well, Well, we have the build that's up at a
- 2:44Speaker 4: Senate in the Assembly. We're gonna be working on it hard.
- 2:47Speaker 4: They're on break now they're back. We did some We
- 2:49Speaker 4: had some good bills done up there this time around,
- 2:53Speaker 4: and I we're gonna see if the governor signs them.
- 2:55Speaker 4: Otherwise we're gonna lose a lot of people are going
- 2:57Speaker 4: to retire by the end of July. I have a
- 2:59Speaker 4: thousand detectives out of five thousand that could retire. They're
- 3:02Speaker 4: gonna just they're gonna lead the job. So the bottom
- 3:05Speaker 4: line is that we need to get some legislation signed
- 3:07Speaker 4: off on by the governor sooner than later. Otherwise we
- 3:10Speaker 4: need to stop the bleeding here with members because we
- 3:13Speaker 4: need experience. We need experienced detectives out there, and we'll
- 3:17Speaker 4: lose our experience every day. You know, people ask me, well,
- 3:20Speaker 4: why just detectives. Well, I'm gonna tell you why, Because
- 3:22Speaker 4: when you become a soger or lieutenant, you take a
- 3:24Speaker 4: test for that. When you become a lieutenant, will you
- 3:27Speaker 4: become a detective? You get trained by experienced detectives, and
- 3:31Speaker 4: you'll lose your experience every day. And it's a little
- 3:35Speaker 4: nerve wracking. What's gonna happen here?
- 3:37Speaker 3: Yeah? Little?
- 3:38Speaker 2: And you know there's still people that say to me,
- 3:40Speaker 2: Jessica is gonna leave. I don't know. I mean, I
- 3:42Speaker 2: think she's weathered a lot of the storm. I don't
- 3:45Speaker 2: know how much more worse it could get. I mean,
- 3:47Speaker 2: he's been horrible, visiting, visiting the bad guys and not
- 3:51Speaker 2: the cops and the snowball fiting nonsense, and even these
- 3:54Speaker 2: watch parties. He's been horrible to the police and she's
- 3:57Speaker 2: still here something. She'll stick it out because she wants
- 3:59Speaker 2: a run from you. She wants to stick around in
- 4:01Speaker 2: public service as long as she possibly can. But either way,
- 4:04Speaker 2: I think she's doing a terrific job. What about you, Scott,
- 4:07Speaker 2: Sure she's doing a great job.
- 4:08Speaker 4: Let me let she's dealing with tools that she she
- 4:12Speaker 4: didn't have with past police commissioners. You know, back when
- 4:16Speaker 4: Biggie Smalls died, right it went crazy. We are huge
- 4:18Speaker 4: mace containers that will used sprayed everybody because they were
- 4:21Speaker 4: going crazy. You know, they used water, they used a
- 4:24Speaker 4: lot of horses. Well, guess what this police commissioner doesn't
- 4:27Speaker 4: have those tools in our hands right now that the
- 4:31Speaker 4: police are able to use to utilize because everybody's worried
- 4:34Speaker 4: about the diaphragm compression bill. They're worried about their jobs
- 4:38Speaker 4: of touching somebody or being videoed back then, and using
- 4:41Speaker 4: Biggie Smalls as an example, yes, there was no body cameras.
- 4:45Speaker 3: There was no cameras back then.
- 4:47Speaker 2: By your tunis bastards up and that's why you need
- 4:50Speaker 2: immunity right at this point.
- 4:51Speaker 4: Now you gotta have it right, yeah, Now you need
- 4:54Speaker 4: to have extra insurance, double insurance. And that's why nobody
- 4:56Speaker 4: wants to take the job. And you know what this
- 4:59Speaker 4: is why today meeting with over one hundred unions through
- 5:01Speaker 4: New York State on zoom and in person, we're discussing
- 5:05Speaker 4: on people that we're going to endorse, who are endorsing
- 5:08Speaker 4: this time around in November, who are gonna help because
- 5:11Speaker 4: they're gonna help policing. And that's what happened today.
- 5:14Speaker 3: That's a scott. That's a big deal. So say this again.
- 5:17Speaker 2: So today you're going to be on a zoom with
- 5:20Speaker 2: over one hundred people and about endorsing.
- 5:22Speaker 4: The unions in New York State, hundred different unions in
- 5:26Speaker 4: New York State police unions and basically we're going to
- 5:29Speaker 4: discuss on how we're gonna help the Assembly in the Senate,
- 5:33Speaker 4: how we're gonna help moving forward those people that helped us,
- 5:36Speaker 4: that are pro law enforcement, that believe in law enforcement,
- 5:40Speaker 4: how we're going to get them re elected and what
- 5:42Speaker 4: we're gonna do. And we're gonna talk about the people
- 5:43Speaker 4: that aren't favor of law enforcement and what we're gonna
- 5:47Speaker 4: do with them. But the bottom line is we're moving forward.
- 5:50Speaker 4: We have the New York State Police Alliance that we started.
- 5:53Speaker 4: I told you we started in January. We're not going away.
- 5:56Speaker 4: We're not going away. You do for police, we'll do
- 5:59Speaker 4: for you.
