city 20 years ago. new york's ongoing success in reducing crime and saving lives quite literally led to a revolution of performance measure policing in cities and towns all across the united states. and one of the first of those major cities was my city of baltimore. you see when i was elected mayor in 1999 our city head sadly allowed herself to become the most violent, the most addictive in the most abandoned city in america with more population loss over the prior 30 years than any major city in our country. at the beginning of our administration we were able to put an additional 20 police officers onto the streets of baltimore which presented us with a really important question question, where to send them. now we could have deployed them equally to each of the six council districts. that would be one way to do it or if we wanted to be real political about it we could deploy them to the council districts with the highest numbers of primary voters or if we want to be really really political about it we could deploy them to the districts where the greatest number of people voted for me. or or we could actually deploy them to the concentrated hotspots where the greatest numbers

the african-american community. but i believe beyond that we know in the state of missouri that the ferguson police department is not the only such police department not the only such city government that depends on municipal funds. so the governor the legislature of the state of missouri has to go well beyond the ferguson police department to look at this problem more broadly as a matter of state law and state reform. >> what's going to happen, evan to the ferguson police chief? >> well, wolf he had an agreement with officials involved down there to resign. this is some months ago. and according to him, what he's told people down there, after we reported that agreement he decided that he was going to change his mind and stick around because he wanted to see the end of this process. and now we have the end of this process. the justice department eric holder, the attorney general, has called for regime change in that police department. this report by the justice department really portrays a department that's rotten to the core. so the question is is this the time that he finally decides he can go? >> jeffrey, the concern is it's not just ferguson. it's all over the place
