ramsey for his service. he said hiring the commissioner was one of the smartest things he has done in office. and he didn't mix word about those who may disagree. >> who is not smart at least ask him to stay is probably not smart enough to run the city of philadelphia. >> the the name calling is not what i do. i'm not going to do it. i respect him. i respect the office too much. i think that all of us should respect the decision that is need to be made. >> ramsey says that, he is humled by mayor's support and went on to say job of marries one of the most important in the city, and whoever assumes that office out to be able to select whom ever they want. but as we mentioned earlier election season is certainly upon us. mayoral primary is scheduled for may 19th. >> right around the corn are. >> yes, you can always tell it is election time. >> commissioner charles ramsey just a stand up guy. i loved how he handled this situation. in my way of dealing with him he is very professional. >> thanks very much, nicole

the other candidates have said they would keep ramsey or expressed their support for his work. when we spoke to ramsey, he said a mayor should be able to choose their own cabinet and did not want to speak publicly about whether he wants to stay on as commissioner. to read more about the candidates and where they stand on the issues we have full coverage on the nbc 10 app. you can also see results of our exclusive poll on the mayor's race and what voters believe is the most important issue facing philadelphia. >>> now, some places got some much-needed rain yesterday, and even during the day today. but a lot of places missed it. it has been humid everywhere. muggy monday extremely muggy earlier in the day. tracking some thunderstorms partially triggered by that high humidity and heat. and we'll have a look ahead to the memorial day weekend. aj we've got a lot of clouds around now. these are low clouds moved in from the ocean. only 68 degrees at philadelphia. the high was 87. the wind east at 14. that's what the east wind will do to you. temperatures down 20 degrees since midday.

. >> current philadelphia mayor michael null err police commissioner ramsey should continue on. live at police headquarters with the comments everyone seems to be talking about near city hall. hi steve. >> reporter: well, it is one comment it comes from the current mayor. who would have thought the quote of the race so far just two weeks to the day before the primary would come from not any of the candidates but from mayor nutter himself. he was responding to the debate held the night before when two of the candidates came out said if we're elected, commissioner ramsey is gone. and when mayor nutter heard that a lot of people think the smartest thing the mayor did, the current mayor that is in his whole rain here, in philadelphia, was hire commissioner charles ramsey who is respected not only in philadelphia but around the worlds. he leaves so many other police agencies and sit had to go out of its way to retain him when he thought about leaving either going back to lead his hometown of chicago where he was a police officer for nearly 20 years or take any other jobs. what he doe

i mean, chief ramsey has so much widespread support -- black, white, latino -- across the board. so to attack him and essentially saying, "i wouldn't keep him on," it had the opposite effect. i don't think it engendered a lot of support in the african-american community, and i believe it diminished support across the board, perhaps, in non-african-american communities who really support commissioner ramsey and what he's doing. >> here's another point, though -- do you think that if jim kenney is, in fact, pulling out -- again, it depends which poll you look at -- is he peaking too early? is the momentum that he's created, which has been interesting -- many people would say stunning, given the field of all these qualified people -- do you think it's too soon? >> i do not. and i also think it's not stunning, and here's why. jim kenney's been elected citywide seven times. city council in philadelphia -- in greater philadelphia -- gets covered as if it's the eagles. anything they do, it seems like there's news coverage on. people relate to jim kenney. he's very -- he's like "one of u

so i agree with chief ramsey.about training, policy, and also about having that just in case you need it because you just don't know when a crowd is going to go bad. a perfect example was in waco, texas yesterday. they didn't expect the shootout they had there. so it's a real combination and that's the delicate balance with trying to be a police chief in this country is to make sure you have your people prepared, have the equipment you need, at the same time, not trying to come off like you're trying to intim at a time the community you serve. >> woodruff: chief ramsey i would like you to respond to that and also address -- i mean, how much of a problem do we have in this country right now between police and communities who feel they are just not understood and not respected by the police? >> well, you know, it depends on the city the relationship that police and community have. obviously, there are some areas and pockets in our city where relationships are strained. that's not new. i started policing in 1968 in c

at the eye of the storm is police missioner ramsey. milton street and hardy williams said they would replace ramsey. mayor nutter is outraged over the idea. >> anyone who is not smart enough to ask him to stay is probably not smart enough to run the city. >> the other four democratic candidates said they would keep ramsey while at the same time oppose the "stop and frisk" policy of the department. >> this from our delaware newsroom, a state house committee has said they will eliminate jail time for anyone caught with a small amount of marijuana. possession you up to one ounce is a misdemeanor punishable to 3 months in jail. >>> gabrielle gabriel give fords will be at city hall to strengthennen firearms. gabrielle giffords will delivery marks at 2:00 p.m. her husband visited in 2014 advocating for stricter gun laws. >>> a mississippi teen convinced many at a school he was not a student but a teacher and bus monitor. >>> a study claims a chunk of a dating app clients may not be single at all. >> reporter: i'll have the day planner foreca

first of all, ramsey did chair that policing task force for president obama, and, also ramsey did ask for the justice department to investigate the police department and try and find out what may be wrong and what needs to be fixed. what it found -- the justice department report, which came out about a month ago -- 400 police-related shootings in 7 years, average of 52 per year since 2007. annual shootings between 40 to 62 per year, averaging 52. 90% of those shot by police were black and latino, with 56% of the suspects having firearms. the justice department did not in any way accuse the philadelphia police department of being racist. >> correct. >> but, again, these are some of the things that have been happening in baltimore, as well. and another thing that maybe we should mention -- both have stop-and-frisk policies, which a lot of community members just don't like. what do you think, ed? >> right now it's very interesting to see hillary clinton railing against stop-and-frisk policies and other policies that were advanced by bill clinton when he was president. his crime bill toda

is commissioner ramsey the guy for the job moving forward if he wants it?> commissioner ramsey's probably been the best police commissioner i think we've had in my lifetime, and if he wants to stay, he has every opportunity to stay. i know that his responsibilities nationally have been enlarged. the president of the united states has relied on him to deal with community-policing issues around the country, and he's been on the move and traveling a lot. if he wants to stay, he is welcome to stay. i think he is one of the finest people i've met as far as character is concerned, as far as understanding how to talk to people and how to communicate with folks, both officers and the public. so i'm very happy with his performance. if he wants to say, he is certainly welcome to stay, especially through the democratic national convention that's coming up in 2016 in august. so if he wants to stay through there, it's fine. whatever he wants to do, he can call his shot, but i will not go outside the police department for his replacement. >> you mentioned the democratic
