7
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.960
<v Speaker 2>For T andc's So we're joined now by Scott Monroe

8
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.239
<v Speaker 2>from the Detectives Endowment Association. And Scott, we have issues

9
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:27.440
<v Speaker 2>to talk about, but let's talk about the psyche for

10
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:31.519
<v Speaker 2>a minute. A public school in Manhattan, in a very

11
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 2>wealthy area put on some play last week where the

12
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.920
<v Speaker 2>students depicted being shot by cops. I mean, we can't

13
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.960
<v Speaker 2>win with this kind of mentality in the city, can we.

14
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:43.079
<v Speaker 2>Now that's terrible.

15
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:46.719
<v Speaker 3>You know what, We're out there trying to show the

16
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 3>public that every day, the new Jury Police Department, that

17
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.640
<v Speaker 3>we're not against the public in any type of way.

18
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 3>I mean, especially the Detectors and Downmand Association. You know,

19
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.399
<v Speaker 3>we do everything that we're out there with our canteen

20
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.120
<v Speaker 3>out there, you know, feeding families on Thanksgiving and everything

21
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 3>was like that. Why would they on earth try to

22
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:07.239
<v Speaker 3>do something like that.

23
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.359
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's also just about the general psyche. I mean,

24
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I grew up in New I spent my pre teen

25
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:15.000
<v Speaker 2>and ten years. I moved to New York in nineteen

26
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 2>eighty one, came back in the late nineties, and being

27
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 2>in the NYPD and being in a cop was hot,

28
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 2>to say the least. It was so revered. In fact,

29
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:25.560
<v Speaker 2>you might remember in the late nineties there were all

30
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:27.680
<v Speaker 2>those guys who were over the age to join the

31
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.680
<v Speaker 2>NYPD who were petitioning Mayor Giuliani to let them join.

32
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:32.719
<v Speaker 2>That's how much people wanted to be a part of this.

33
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.200
<v Speaker 2>And now we have this anti cop sentiment even in

34
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.879
<v Speaker 2>the wealthier at parts of the city. And on top

35
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:41.760
<v Speaker 2>of that, Scott Monroe from the Detectives and Dominant Association,

36
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 2>we also have a changing nature of crime in the city.

37
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:46.879
<v Speaker 2>When I was growing up in the city, it was

38
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 2>property crime, per snatching, mugging, chains being ripped off. Now

39
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.280
<v Speaker 2>it's random, mentally ill people who there's nothing you could do.

40
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 2>They're just coming and slashing people out of nowhere. This

41
00:01:57.640 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 2>is we need the police more than ever.

42
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 4>Correct, No, you need you need you need a governor,

43
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 4>a government that in Albany you're gonna put these people

44
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.919
<v Speaker 4>in mental institutions. They shouldn't be in the streets in

45
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 4>New York.

46
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes, they're gonna have to do something with that. And

47
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 3>it's a show. We had one of our detectives shot

48
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 3>in the leg the other day. The barricaded prisoner was

49
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 3>an he emostly just started person. He was a real

50
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 3>hero along with other detectives there that day. They had

51
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 3>a family upstairs, and all the family upstairs that barricaded

52
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 3>themselves in the room because they were afraid this this

53
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:37.159
<v Speaker 3>individual was shooting, shooting at the gas line and the stoves.

54
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 3>They went in there to take action and unfortunately, you

55
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 3>know what happened was uh, you know, he didn't he

56
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 3>didn't make it. But but but this is what shows

57
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.360
<v Speaker 3>you on these disturbances mostly uh, to start people. You

58
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.400
<v Speaker 3>can't bring civilians there to talk to these people because

59
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.719
<v Speaker 3>now you gotta worry about them. And unfortunately, we have

60
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 3>a detective sitting in the hospital that right now that

61
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.280
<v Speaker 3>got shot in the leg by him.

62
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.520
<v Speaker 4>There's one Scott's Gootchy talks again. The problem is you

63
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:07.759
<v Speaker 4>have this either deliberate or naive attempt to change the

64
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.360
<v Speaker 4>nature of policing. The job of the police officers are

65
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:15.240
<v Speaker 4>to protect and to defend. Sending in social workers creates

66
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 4>the problem as you created, because you have to protect

67
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 4>them as well, and they're not capable of taking calm

68
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 4>and control of the situation, whereas the people who respond

69
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:28.960
<v Speaker 4>are very trained in this. Similarly, they want to take

70
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.120
<v Speaker 4>away the critical response groups. You know, Mondomie's attempts to

71
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 4>do this, and he seems to have cool that at

72
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:37.599
<v Speaker 4>least to the time being. But the fact of the

73
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 4>matters is how do you take care of the riot situation?

74
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 4>Send in social workers, stand down, let people riot take

75
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 4>over Macy's. As di Blasio did, well.

76
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.400
<v Speaker 3>I think she's starting to see what really going on.

77
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 3>I would love to ask him that question, what do

78
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 3>you do you feel differently than you feel now from

79
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.080
<v Speaker 3>six months ago or eight months ago when you were campaigning,

80
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:00.879
<v Speaker 3>you know, I would like I can know, do you

81
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.000
<v Speaker 3>feel a little bit different about what policing does and

82
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.360
<v Speaker 3>what we're going to be doing? Is you know in

83
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.199
<v Speaker 3>New York, how we're going to keep New York safe?

84
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, at answer you by telling you it's the Jew's fault.

85
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean he Thursday night, he makes the speech right

86
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 2>after the feel good parade for the Knicks, and he's

87
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 2>talking about everyone coming together. And then he makes the

88
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.199
<v Speaker 2>speech at a political rally calling people who donate to

89
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.839
<v Speaker 2>Israel monsters, and he uses the term monsters right out

90
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.560
<v Speaker 2>of derch Schermer in nineteen thirty eight from Nazi Germany

91
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:30.920
<v Speaker 2>and talks about how they all they want to do

92
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.279
<v Speaker 2>is support genocide. There is no genocide, by the way,

93
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 2>in Gaza, it's it's called mathematics.

94
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 4>There's no apotheid, there's no colonism, there's no genocide.

95
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and by the way, insults the true victims of apartheid,

96
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 2>genocide and through throughout history of the world. But you

97
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.680
<v Speaker 2>know another thing that really gets me here is you know,

98
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.519
<v Speaker 2>the left is supposed to be the big supporters of

99
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 2>the unions, the working unions. Well, I got news for you.

100
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.560
<v Speaker 2>The border patrol agents have a union. The cops have

101
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.839
<v Speaker 2>a union. Certain government workers who they've been demonizing, these

102
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 2>cops and border patrol ages, they're union workers. Where's the

103
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 2>respect for them. It's amazing to me. I mean, obviously

104
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 2>this is a big part of your argument, I would assume, Scott.

105
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes, listen, I want to have an open dialogue with

106
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 3>the Maya, just like I had an open dialogue with

107
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 3>the last maya and explain to that, Explain to the

108
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 3>maya basically why we need certain things and moving forward,

109
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:21.959
<v Speaker 3>because you know what it's about in New York City,

110
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:23.759
<v Speaker 3>it's about seeping the people safe in New York City.

111
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.639
<v Speaker 3>It's about keep of my detectives, all police officers are

112
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.319
<v Speaker 3>safe every day, making sure that they go home to

113
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 3>their families. That's what it's all about, Scott.

114
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 5>This is Fernando Mateo. By the way, I have a

115
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 5>great deal of respect for all of our NYPD uniform

116
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.639
<v Speaker 5>then detectives because they keep us all safe.

117
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 2>And I don't really think that you need to.

118
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:49.759
<v Speaker 5>Do much explaining to the mayor or much asking from

119
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.360
<v Speaker 5>the mayor. Just look at what happened yesterday in Harlem.

120
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:58.000
<v Speaker 5>Four kids shot for kids, then you go to the

121
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:02.240
<v Speaker 5>Bronx there were another six or seven kids stabbed and shot.

122
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:06.000
<v Speaker 5>You know what happens in the city every day speaks

123
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.680
<v Speaker 5>for itself. And who has to come to the rescue,

124
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.480
<v Speaker 5>Who has to investigate to find these people, to find

125
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:18.519
<v Speaker 5>the people who committed these crimes. It's our detectives, it's

126
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:22.319
<v Speaker 5>our police officers, right, we need to appreciate them more.

127
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:25.600
<v Speaker 5>There isn't much that you need to explain to the mayor.

128
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.680
<v Speaker 5>Just show them the newspapers, let them read, let them

129
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:30.759
<v Speaker 5>see for himself.

130
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.920
<v Speaker 3>The mayor. You know what we had that, you know,

131
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:35.879
<v Speaker 3>that big parade for the nixt We had a couple

132
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.279
<v Speaker 3>different You know, we have millions of people there, right,

133
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 3>but you only had a couple of different problems there.

134
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:43.600
<v Speaker 3>The police commissioner and her staff put everybody out there.

135
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:47.279
<v Speaker 3>They were working long, hot hours, they were working double shifts.

136
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.240
<v Speaker 3>These detectives they're tired, you know what I mean, They're

137
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.120
<v Speaker 3>going home to their families. People are gonna be retiring,

138
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 3>and that's what's very concerning to me, you know, with

139
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.199
<v Speaker 3>the governor. I mean, I have a bill that's sitting

140
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.079
<v Speaker 3>on her desk right now that I have a thousand

141
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.439
<v Speaker 3>detectives that can retire in July. I only have a

142
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.519
<v Speaker 3>little over five thousand normally we have. When I took

143
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 3>over two years ago, we had about five thousand, six hundred.

144
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.639
<v Speaker 3>Brought it out, we had seven thousand detectives. So we're

145
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:19.040
<v Speaker 3>down with all membership. Okay, it's very important that the

146
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.279
<v Speaker 3>governor looks at this building, signs it. Now she needs

147
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:26.639
<v Speaker 3>to stop the bleeding right now, not in October, not

148
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.240
<v Speaker 3>in November. We need to stop it now. So I'm

149
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.720
<v Speaker 3>concerned about the city. These bills have to get signed

150
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.560
<v Speaker 3>and all members need to continue, and we need to

151
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 3>continue to keep our experience here in the Detective Bureau.

152
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, Scott again, I mean, we only have about thirty

153
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.720
<v Speaker 2>seconds left. But you know this is this is like

154
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.920
<v Speaker 2>a blueprint for how to destroy a civilization. You open

155
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:57.199
<v Speaker 2>up the jails, open up the borders, de emphasize law

156
00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.399
<v Speaker 2>and order. Look, we all know that we want because

157
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.879
<v Speaker 2>not that we want the police to run without any oversight,

158
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:05.360
<v Speaker 2>but to get rid of the police absolutely or effectively.

159
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, they don't have to literally defund the police.

160
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.560
<v Speaker 2>But if we have these kinds of depleted numbers of

161
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.639
<v Speaker 2>cops streets, it's the same thing, the same I don't

162
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:16.639
<v Speaker 2>blame them for wanting to leave, Scott.

163
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.600
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry, you know, I know we need more detectives,

164
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:21.920
<v Speaker 5>but I don't blame them for wanting to leave.

165
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Quick last word to you, Scott, go ahead, Scott, quick

166
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:28.720
<v Speaker 2>last word to you.

167
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:32.440
<v Speaker 3>I think it was just like listen, we're here, our

168
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:34.720
<v Speaker 3>members are out there working day to day. They have

169
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:37.240
<v Speaker 3>families at home, just like everybody else, you know, whether

170
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:39.879
<v Speaker 3>you're a stockbroker or you're a bus driver or whatever.

171
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 3>They want to go home to their families and they

172
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:43.159
<v Speaker 3>want to be safe, and that's our job. We have

173
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:45.679
<v Speaker 3>to keep them safe. Not only keeping them safe, we're

174
