This has been a bone of contention in this city now for way too long.
0:11:28
Our cops have been under attack by a body of people here that I really believe do not understand the full extent of what you guys are trying to do.
0:11:40
What you guys are trying to do here is instead of funding, you're dismantling our police.
0:11:46
You're tying them up with senseless and unnecessary paperwork.
0:11:51
When they have a body camera on 98% of the time that records every interaction that they have normally It's got nothing to do with transparency, in my opinion, and in opinion of many people who live in New York City.
0:12:09
Public safety is a number one issue here in this city and yet our police are underfunded, understaffed, and overworked.
0:12:22
And yet we wanna tie them up some more.
0:12:26
No.
0:12:27
Absolutely not.
0:12:28
The veto stays and yet you people seem to think the people in this body seem to think, don't don't.
0:12:38
That don't.
0:12:40
Did you hear what I said?
0:12:41
I said don't.
0:12:43
I'm gonna tell you right now, no.
0:12:46
I have my time.
0:12:47
I'm gonna take my time.
0:12:49
That's enough.
0:12:50
That is enough.
0:12:52
You know, everybody seems to think here that what everybody else has to say is very important But what we have to say here doesn't seem to matter when it does.
0:13:03
And if you truly represented your communities as you say you do, your communities need policing.
0:13:12
Your communities need help.
0:13:15
More than anybody, they are crying out for help.
0:13:21
And you as an air elected officials denying them that help by standing on this self righteous podium that you've put yourselves on.
0:13:32
That is enough.
0:13:33
You find it funny.
0:13:35
Do you you find me funny?
0:13:37
I find you hysterical.
0:13:39
Okay?
0:13:40
You yes.
0:13:40
I find you hysterical.
0:13:42
Come here, Rosemary.
0:13:43
Me funny.
Speaker 2
0:13:43

Speaker 6
0:13:44
You said you found me funny.
Speaker 0
0:13:45
You're right.
0:13:46
But you
Speaker 6
0:13:46
can't take the truth.
Speaker 0
0:13:48
Both parties are Both parties are Both parties.
Speaker 2
