I'm tight on time and I got more questions.
3:59:58
I I'm that's why I I need brevity in my Okay.
4:00:01
So I appreciate that deputy mayor Parker has looked into this and has worked with you on it.
4:00:06
I think his last day is Friday.
4:00:07
So if he's not gone already.
4:00:09
I have less confidence that his successor is gonna give a darn about this issue, and I'm very concerned that we're gonna continue to see this trend continue.
4:00:17
I hope Commissioner Tisch will make it a priority and try to rein things in.
4:00:21
But we have to get this under control.

The increase in complaints is a clear indication that there are more problems in our streets and that more people, especially black and brown young men in New York City are being mistreated by the NYPD and it's a problem.
