• 0:19
  Speaker 2: For T andc's So we're joined now by Scott Monroe
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: from the Detectives Endowment Association. And Scott, we have issues
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: to talk about, but let's talk about the psyche for
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: a minute. A public school in Manhattan, in a very
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: wealthy area put on some play last week where the
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: students depicted being shot by cops. I mean, we can't
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: win with this kind of mentality in the city, can we.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Now that's terrible.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: You know what, We're out there trying to show the
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: public that every day, the new Jury Police Department, that
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: we're not against the public in any type of way.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, especially the Detectors and Downmand Association. You know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: we do everything that we're out there with our canteen
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: out there, you know, feeding families on Thanksgiving and everything
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: was like that. Why would they on earth try to
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: do something like that.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: You know, it's also just about the general psyche. I mean,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I grew up in New I spent my pre teen
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: and ten years. I moved to New York in nineteen
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: eighty one, came back in the late nineties, and being
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: in the NYPD and being in a cop was hot,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: to say the least. It was so revered. In fact,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: you might remember in the late nineties there were all
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: those guys who were over the age to join the
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: NYPD who were petitioning Mayor Giuliani to let them join.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: That's how much people wanted to be a part of this.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: And now we have this anti cop sentiment even in
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the wealthier at parts of the city. And on top
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: of that, Scott Monroe from the Detectives and Dominant Association,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: we also have a changing nature of crime in the city.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: When I was growing up in the city, it was
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: property crime, per snatching, mugging, chains being ripped off. Now
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: it's random, mentally ill people who there's nothing you could do.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: They're just coming and slashing people out of nowhere. This
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: is we need the police more than ever.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Correct, No, you need you need you need a governor,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: a government that in Albany you're gonna put these people
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: in mental institutions. They shouldn't be in the streets in
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: New York.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Yes, they're gonna have to do something with that. And
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: it's a show. We had one of our detectives shot
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: in the leg the other day. The barricaded prisoner was
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: an he emostly just started person. He was a real
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: hero along with other detectives there that day. They had
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: a family upstairs, and all the family upstairs that barricaded
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: themselves in the room because they were afraid this this
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: individual was shooting, shooting at the gas line and the stoves.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: They went in there to take action and unfortunately, you
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: know what happened was uh, you know, he didn't he
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: didn't make it. But but but this is what shows
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: you on these disturbances mostly uh, to start people. You
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: can't bring civilians there to talk to these people because
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: now you gotta worry about them. And unfortunately, we have
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: a detective sitting in the hospital that right now that
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: got shot in the leg by him.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: There's one Scott's Gootchy talks again. The problem is you
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: have this either deliberate or naive attempt to change the
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: nature of policing. The job of the police officers are
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: to protect and to defend. Sending in social workers creates
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: the problem as you created, because you have to protect
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: them as well, and they're not capable of taking calm
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: and control of the situation, whereas the people who respond
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: are very trained in this. Similarly, they want to take
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: away the critical response groups. You know, Mondomie's attempts to
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: do this, and he seems to have cool that at
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: least to the time being. But the fact of the
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: matters is how do you take care of the riot situation?
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Send in social workers, stand down, let people riot take
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: over Macy's. As di Blasio did, well.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I think she's starting to see what really going on.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: I would love to ask him that question, what do
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: you do you feel differently than you feel now from
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: six months ago or eight months ago when you were campaigning,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: you know, I would like I can know, do you
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: feel a little bit different about what policing does and
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: what we're going to be doing? Is you know in
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: New York, how we're going to keep New York safe?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Well, at answer you by telling you it's the Jew's fault.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I mean he Thursday night, he makes the speech right
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: after the feel good parade for the Knicks, and he's
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: talking about everyone coming together. And then he makes the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: speech at a political rally calling people who donate to
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Israel monsters, and he uses the term monsters right out
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: of derch Schermer in nineteen thirty eight from Nazi Germany
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and talks about how they all they want to do
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: is support genocide. There is no genocide, by the way,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: in Gaza, it's it's called mathematics.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: There's no apotheid, there's no colonism, there's no genocide.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and by the way, insults the true victims of apartheid,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: genocide and through throughout history of the world. But you
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: know another thing that really gets me here is you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the left is supposed to be the big supporters of
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the unions, the working unions. Well, I got news for you.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: The border patrol agents have a union. The cops have
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: a union. Certain government workers who they've been demonizing, these
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: cops and border patrol ages, they're union workers. Where's the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: respect for them. It's amazing to me. I mean, obviously
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: this is a big part of your argument, I would assume, Scott.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, listen, I want to have an open dialogue with
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: the Maya, just like I had an open dialogue with
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: the last maya and explain to that, Explain to the
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: maya basically why we need certain things and moving forward,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: because you know what it's about in New York City,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: it's about seeping the people safe in New York City.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: It's about keep of my detectives, all police officers are
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: safe every day, making sure that they go home to
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: their families. That's what it's all about, Scott.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: This is Fernando Mateo. By the way, I have a
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: great deal of respect for all of our NYPD uniform
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: then detectives because they keep us all safe.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: And I don't really think that you need to.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Do much explaining to the mayor or much asking from
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: the mayor. Just look at what happened yesterday in Harlem.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: Four kids shot for kids, then you go to the
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Bronx there were another six or seven kids stabbed and shot.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: You know what happens in the city every day speaks
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: for itself. And who has to come to the rescue,
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: Who has to investigate to find these people, to find
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: the people who committed these crimes. It's our detectives, it's
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: our police officers, right, we need to appreciate them more.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: There isn't much that you need to explain to the mayor.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: Just show them the newspapers, let them read, let them
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: see for himself.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: The mayor. You know what we had that, you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: that big parade for the nixt We had a couple
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: different You know, we have millions of people there, right,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: but you only had a couple of different problems there.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: The police commissioner and her staff put everybody out there.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: They were working long, hot hours, they were working double shifts.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: These detectives they're tired, you know what I mean, They're
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: going home to their families. People are gonna be retiring,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: and that's what's very concerning to me, you know, with
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: the governor. I mean, I have a bill that's sitting
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: on her desk right now that I have a thousand
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: detectives that can retire in July. I only have a
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: little over five thousand normally we have. When I took
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: over two years ago, we had about five thousand, six hundred.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Brought it out, we had seven thousand detectives. So we're
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: down with all membership. Okay, it's very important that the
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: governor looks at this building, signs it. Now she needs
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: to stop the bleeding right now, not in October, not
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: in November. We need to stop it now. So I'm
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: concerned about the city. These bills have to get signed
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: and all members need to continue, and we need to
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: continue to keep our experience here in the Detective Bureau.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Well, Scott again, I mean, we only have about thirty
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: seconds left. But you know this is this is like
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: a blueprint for how to destroy a civilization. You open
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: up the jails, open up the borders, de emphasize law
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and order. Look, we all know that we want because
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: not that we want the police to run without any oversight,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: but to get rid of the police absolutely or effectively.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: You know, they don't have to literally defund the police.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: But if we have these kinds of depleted numbers of
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: cops streets, it's the same thing, the same I don't
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: blame them for wanting to leave, Scott.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, you know, I know we need more detectives,
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: but I don't blame them for wanting to leave.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Quick last word to you, Scott, go ahead, Scott, quick
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: last word to you.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: I think it was just like listen, we're here, our
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: members are out there working day to day. They have
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: families at home, just like everybody else, you know, whether
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: you're a stockbroker or you're a bus driver or whatever.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: They want to go home to their families and they
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: want to be safe, and that's our job. We have
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: to keep them safe. Not only keeping them safe, we're
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: keeping the people of city in New York safe.
• 8:47
