12:49 am
something old is something new again, referring to the person who is stepping in for him whose main priority has always been neighborhood policing. >> over the past two and half years i have had the absolute privilege to work closely with the mayor and the commissioner to help shift this police department away from a style of policing that sometimes lost focus of the most important aspect of safeguarding the public. lower crime but not at the x expense of those we are sworn to protect. >> i got wind of a protest taking place yesterday. >> they were calling for a underfunding of the nypd. >> they hate the cops until they
12:50 am
have to call 911. >> to. >> to weigh in on this former nypd detective joe jack alone. >> welcome back to chasing new. >> how are you? - what do you make of this? he resigns, what you think the next step is for him, is he a potential candidate for mayor, what's your take? >> at him thinking of moving on to another city nor do i think he's going. >> are. his brand brand is a little dinged up being in new york city with diblasio and all the stuff that has transpired over the past few months. >> new york city is clearly safer than it was back before the sheriff came in and cleaned it up. things are not trending in the right direction. >> no the not. he's in full conflict with diblasio and city council with the quality of life, the urinating in public and all those other things. that was the cornerstone of his policy. i think he tried to get out before things were getting out

quality is deteriorating. adding that samples over the past 30 years lead to a complex of agricultural runoff from rainfall. people who spend their time on this river in a daily basis, how do they feel about this. i spoke to instructors right here at the river rowing club. they told me they are in the river all the time and maybe the water might be a little dirty but it's nothing that a shower can't fix. >> we've been in the water at least up to our knees for the past eight weeks and were fine. >> there's nothing to worry about. it's entirely fine mac neglect added that she's been in and out of this river her whole life. she also added people should come up to this event. >> come out to rowing day, it's in september and we have free food and snacks in the whole event is free. >> would you get in the water?
