it was seen that bill de blasio stop wider audience, and many police heard it as a betrayal. was that fair . i struggled with the talk. as a father of two kids, particularly a son, i had to talk to my own son. the talk is about being respectful to the place. police. this conversation, a national conversation is a multilateral conversation. there needs to be many voices around a table, including the voices of adults concerned about their kids, who are telling kids and raising people to be respectful of the law, respectful of police. if we want to ipp okayulate our citizens, and prevent them from dying at the hands of police, there's a good way to do that. that is not to fight the police. that is not to resist the police. if we take that away from the equation, deaths at the hands of police drop to near zero. >> do you know what has discouraging about the reaction to the bill de blasio talk, he was relaying a truth that i think is felt by a lot of american families, and risking something by doing that. the reaction was so ferocious that the lesson you may take away from that is

. >> a few weeks ago the mayor of new york, bill de blasio, at a time of racial tension in his city, talked about different conversations about race inside his own mixed race family. >> for so many of our families there's a fear. i had to worry over the years, elaine has had to worry is dante safe. there are so many families in this city that feel each and every night "is my child safe?" and not just from some of the painful reality crime and violence in some of our neighbourhoods, but safe from the people they want to have faith in as their protectors. >> the reaction to that speech, from police unions, commentators and political adversaries was ferocious. the mayor of new york turned their backs on police, and they turned their backs on him. mayor bill de blasio had blood on their hands, sided with criminals, played the race card and used his own son to do it. how do we have that national conversation director comey is talking about. how do we make it more productive and informative than such conversations in the past. john green bomb the fbi is well fixed to investigate crime, wor

professor jones, about the talk this was something that mayor bill de blasio's minority constituents probably sat in the living room and nodded their heads over and it got a harsh reaction from people who heard it as undermining the police and embedded in the idea accusing them of being brutal to young minority men. >> the response highlights how emotional a topic it is. given that how much we - maturity we have to bring to the conversation. we as the adults in particular. have to take a step back and a broader view and talk in still ways about difficult and complicated issues. >> in debates over policing of minority communities, we are sure that if you see the street through a beat cop's eyes you understand how important the job is. when we come back after a quick break we talk about how to recruit and train overs, whether the problems require tweaking or a top to bottom reconsideration of how we make citizens into police officers. still ahead on "inside story". . >> >>> you're watching "inside story," on al jazeera america. in a speech last week on race and law enforcement at georg

, mayor de blasio and the nypd, the conflict, and a lot of that -- had to do a lot of things, but one of the things that was brought up by the police side of the complicate was that mayor de blasio shared the fact that he had a conversation with his son that many people all across the country can relate to, which is telling his black son to be careful, to act a certain way, act respectfully, don't talk back to the police and that -- there's not enough context in the reporting of that situation. there's not enough people saying, wait a second, this is not just a de blasio conversation, this is a conversation that the president would have with his son if he had a son. and his daughters. it's a conversation that any black -- any parent of a black child -- let's put it that way -- should be having and is having, and i think that that part of that conversation, what didn't appear enough when you saw the reporting about the conflict between mayor de blasio and the police department, and i think that's when we fall down, we, broadly speaking, in the media, if we don't bring up both sides of

. >> i just want to add to what -- the de blasio thing, under de blasio, murder is up 18.2%, shootings up 22.5%. is it coincidence that is happening after the end of stop and frisk? none of these crimes are happening in the upper west side where his white liberal supporters who voted him in are experiencing this kind of suffering. it is happening in areas where the police help and save -- usually save lives. >> let's go to the -- i have said this before and taken a lot of heat from my own side on it that what we try to do with all the government programs we did were very well intentioned. the problem is if there is not an infrastructure and family to take them, then you are not going to be able to -- what we did was, did it with all the right intentions, wanted to give them housing money to support themselves and usually, a missing father and there wasn't a structure in a community to handle. this and so you can't keep building and building and building it until you figure out some way to build up a family. >> you're right. bob? >> there was a way. >> leave it there. that was excellent

with you but the one thing that does separate with what he does have to say and what bill de blasio hady, he talked about the systemic problems that take place within low income communities. and those being the precursor to the tensions between police and civilians. the issue, though is eric holder experienced negative relationships with police when he was a prosecutor getting out of a nice car and going to a movie. i think what a lot of officers don't understand is that perfectly legitimate and law abiding black and brown citizens encounter police in what should be nonthreatening situations and are treated precisely the same way as if they were a suspect. so if you have a community like ferguson, which is a middle class community, ferguson was not, you know in a challenged inner city environment. this was a middle class community where people get stopped every day, so the fees collected from ordinary law abiding black citizens -- i think one of the things police will have to get to, it's one thing to have an abstract conversation about history, and i commend him for do that. it was bra

we arrested gaggles of people, but i understand why de blasio did it, he has this notion that he wants to be a spokesman for the person, a party guy, and it is not the end of the world. a beat new york is not the best place in the world, we don't need it, and we are not that kind of city, so i am not that broken up about it. mark: right now, who do you see as a possible likely republican nominee? anthony: there are really two brackets, there is the institutional bracket, and then you have the wackadoo wing, the rand paul types. look, mitt romney took eight months to vanquish those guys, it took them forever. mark: who could be nominated right now? who would you put on the list? anthony: i can't get into the skin of the caucus voters, and i don't see any reason white rand paul can't be nominated are -- nominated, and if you're going to try to get millenial's off of the sidelines and get them around libertarian views on pot might not be the bad way to go. mark: and technology. anthony: that's not about idea. john: among the ones that we know, which of them to you think would be the tough

there were a lot of people pushing for that clindincluding new york mayor de blasio.lic transportation. hotel rooms, whether or not it could accommodate it but also look it's a the timing of the convention coming right on the heels of the republican convention. so it's going to be one after the other. so you know typically parties like to use these conventions as a way to get kind of a bump in the polls for their candidate, whoever it may be but this time we're going to sort of go straight from one into the next. i'm not sure you'll see that and both parties were concerned about making sure they're nominees had access to general election money a little earlier in the cycle this time. particularly republicans, who felt like mitt romney ran out of cash through the summer and the obama administration was able to go up on the air and really define him before he was able to get access to money people were donating to him for the general election period because their convention didn't happen until later. >> alex turning to you now. there are reports bill and hillary clinton

the other thing i will say about the city, and i done think this is a deciding factor, but mayor de blasioas not had the smoothest last two months, and you always have to worry whether you are a democrat or republican, have to worry about law enforcement doing what you need them to do. there is only one man in america happier in america. that is governor andrew cuomo. >> mitt romney is the one person we absolutely no will not be the 2016 nominee. or do we? >> jeb bush has to win new hampshire. he will lose iowa. you've got to win one of the -- particularly if you're considered to be something of a front runner and everything else -- if jeb bush loses new hampshire, they will get mitt romney back in the race.
