0:07:18
I mean, I obviously vote.
0:07:19
I on this bill.
0:07:20
This is common sense.
0:07:22
It's a common sense bill.
0:07:23
It's a basic bill.
0:07:24
The fact that we have been making such a fuss over the piece of legislation compared to so many other pieces of legislation that would truly hold.
0:07:33
The NYPD accountable is is ridiculous and and also plays into what I perceived to be political leader that the mayor isn't placing on each and every single one of us here today.
0:07:45
I think it's, you know, something that he's doing to try to distract us from this budget that he's trying to push through.
0:07:52
There are multiple cuts that we're seeing across our city agencies.
0:07:55
This bill is is is best going to be something that the NYPD does, you know, every other day if we're able to even hold them accountable on collecting the data that they're going to be collecting.
0:08:06
You know, this is a NYPD force that has a larger, you know, headcount in some militaries across the world.
0:08:14
We're asking them to collect data.
0:08:16
Right?
0:08:17
Don't get distracted by what the mayor is trying to do.
0:08:19
He's he's he's trying to to take our our our focus off of his his budget that's going to hurt New Yorkers more than a a reporting bill that we're trying to get passed, not once, but but twice.
0:08:31
Thank you.
