00:00 Pension protections for cops with 20 years on the job has been a home run.
00:04 From a cop's perspective, sure.
00:06 Well, that's the perspective we generally have up here, in case you hadn't noticed.
00:10 What, the governor's pushing?
00:11 One slip-up and a vested cop loses their whole pension and poof, there goes retirement.
00:16 I've got nothing for that perspective.
00:18 I'm listening.
00:21 I don't have a dog in the hunt.
00:24 I'm just trying to formulate this department's response.
00:26 Nah, you always gotta play the devil's advocate.
00:29 Take the day off for once.
00:30 And it's not right that a cop who's on the take or perjures himself at trial and gets the boot
00:35 still walks away with his full pension.
00:37 That's a few bad apples, few and far between.
00:40 More, and closer together.
00:42 I'm listening.
00:43 And defending this policy laughs in the face of all the reform flags we're raising.
00:48 No, it's us raising the flags saying we're not gonna tear every single protection the cops have
00:54 to mollify the city council.
00:56 And all five district attorneys.
00:58 And the Yankees, Giants, Knicks and Rangers, for all I care.
01:02 I say we stand fast.
01:04 Our best defense is sitting across from us.
01:08 You said the PC pushed these protections through when he took office?
01:12 Well, he's still more admired and trusted than all of them put together.
01:16 Well, more than the Knicks, maybe.
01:18 I say what he says goes.
01:25 It was the consensus of the press covering one PP at the time
01:29 that morale was so low when the PC took over that he supported the bill just as an attaboy.
01:34 Easy there, Garrett.
01:35 Yeah, come on, that doesn't sound like him.
01:37 That he saw all the traps and threw his weight behind it anyway.
01:40 Then they got it wrong.
01:41 And please do not promote hearsay about me to me.
01:45 Okay, thank you everyone.
01:54 Garrett, you stay.
01:56 If I overstepped, I apologize.
02:06 You didn't.
02:08 I didn't.
02:14 No.
02:16 Look, that law needs to be repealed.
02:22 It needs to be repealed.
02:25 But I need to stand with the rank and file.
02:30 Especially now.
02:32 Now more than ever.
02:35 How do I do that?
