bill bratton had a right to think he had seen it all.ideo of derek chauvin's knee on george floyd's neck. in the profession bill bratton writes quote, george floyd's murder, and it was 100% a murder, was one of the worst things i have ever seen done to a person by a police officer. at beginning of the coronavirus pandemic when most of the nation was shut indoors, fearful, alone and in need of human contact, re-examining the functioning of society, it seemed to encapsulate all that was wrong with the way america was being ruled and the people who were ruling it. showed a bad cop doing a terrible thing. the terrible death of george floyd brought the awareness of systemic racism to the surface. a month earlier you would have been hard pressed to find more than one senator, network anchor or elected official willing to say it out loud, let alone go on camera and admit to its existence. joining us now, bill bratton "the profession: a memoir of community, police and arc of policing in america." thank you very much for joining us tonight. want

bill bratton, former new york city police commissioner author of "the profession" commissioner, thank you. what do police departments need to do in your estimation to combat the surge in violence >> well, that's the issue, shepard, that the long-term and short-term solutions immediately apparent the sudden rise in crime got a lot of agencies, a lot of government officials and the public off guard, and the focus is always been the covid virus so unlike the last crime epidemic that took decades to build up until the early '90s, this occurred overnight, like the virus, literately out of nowhere. solutions are not immediately apparent we're in for a very long, dangerous summer that's the reality >> commissioner, one of the themes of your book is how policing in america goes through cycles of progress and setback does this rise fit that cycle you wrote about or is it related to the enormous societal brings as the pandemic wanes? >> it's related to the specific societal things we're going through. the causes of the epidemic and influence are many we let people out of jail rapidly because of

bill bratton is a former commissioner. very good to see you.e it is just what this city needs. someone there who will focus on crime, right? >> well, i'd rather hear about crime going down. the reality is it's not and not likely to go down any time soon. here in new york, throughout the country, most major cities are reporting significant increases and nowhere does it seem to be declining. at the moment, seems to be on the incline. certainly shaking up the mayor's raise in new york. one candidate wanted to talk about crime. now they're being forced to address it and it's shaking up the mayor's race. >> neil: if that does emerge as a number 1 issue and the number 1 candidate to address that is a former veteran of the police department tells you something. it occurs the same day that we heard from mayor de blasio preparing new yorkers for more crime, a lot more crime and what could be a violent summer. it's almost as if the mayor has given up. can he do more now to deal with this? >> well, the challenge for mr. de blasio, who i worked for for thr

i had the former police commissioner, bill bratton on last week. he says the narrative out there, what is happening with police reform. that's hurting. i am not saying it's true or not but that's what the former police commissioner is saying. he is also saying the reforms that have happened, especially like bail reform, it's really hurting the crime rate. and it's causing crime rates to spike. he said some people should be in jail. at this point. what -- what do you make of what the former-police commissioner said? >> look. i've run a uniform agency. i understand what it takes to motivate people who are part of the uniformed services in the city of new york. i have done that. i actually got endorsed by my union, which is unusual for labor and management to get along that well. but it is about trusting them so that they can trust you. and making sure that we are holding everyone accountable. no-good cop wants a bad cop getting away with something because it tarnishes everyone. and i know how to get that done. >> so, this is what eric adams, i said i

joining me now is bill bratton, the former new york city police commi commissioner.e author of "the profession: a memoir of community, race, and the arc of policing in america." commissioner, good evening to you. let's look at this again. you got these two children. they were not shot. i can't believe that they weren't shot after all of that. but what do you think when you see a 10-year-old and a 5-year-old caught quite literally in the military of gunfire, and these brazen -- this brazen man and the getaway guy in broad daylight. i mean what the hell is going on? >> i'm disgusted by what i see, having worked very hard to make new york the safest large city in america, reducing the homicide rate by 90%, the overall crime rate by 80%, to have it all collapse in a year is something i never would have imagined could happen. i predicted for 25 years crime would never go up in new york city again. well, it's going up in catastrophic ways, and the scene you're showing is just evidence of how bad it is. i'm an optimist. you know that, don. we've dealt with each other for ye

was bill bratton a commissioner?d of time. >> he was with us two days ago and he suggested a shift in policing in his mind from proactive to reactive, that where we are right now he says police are being forced to be only reactive, whereas before they were proactive. what do you think about that? >> that's absolutely true. we need to have a more proactive perspective in policing but you also want to marry that into technological innovations. it's not just having the officer go out and engage with the public, but we want to use more camera systems, shot spotter, a technology whereas when a shot is fired the police would automatically be deployed. 'no longer just having that officer on the corner, but you can have that proactive perspective by marrying the technological innovations because we as a society are moving in that direction. the average person is photographed approximately 100 to 200 times a day in a place like new york city. question capture that information and provide it to law phone,ment not from an enfor
