joining us is lou columbo, he runs a protection agency and a long time friend of incoming nypd commissionerl braton. good to have you here. he was the police commissioner for the first decade of this centrery and he greatly expanded it's use. it's the most basic fundmental tool of america policing we cannot function without it. why would a mayor who is against stop and frisk appoint the proponent. >> you have to qualify that. and die identify the fact that a city that he was police commissioner, they had a stat when he first took office that was roughly 2200 homicide a year. that supported an aggressive tactic of this nature. the approach to los angeles is not much different. and my opinion and i have had a home and residence in la for a very, very long time, they have problems that fortunately that we don't seem to have and one of those is gang related incidents. i think the mayor realizes that the policy necessary, i think it becomes an exercise of how it's implemented and that is why braton is a valuable tool. >> he is a very aggressive and intelligent and cerebral law enforcement enforc
