New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation” that he and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio both want the police department to “police constitutionally, compassionately, respectfully.”
“This is a mayor that has been very, very supportive of equipping the police to deal with many of the issues that the city is facing. He’s a progressive. He certainly wants police to police constitutionally, compassionately, respectfully, which is why he has hired me, because we are both of a shared mind on that issue,” said Bratton, referring to de Blasio.
“He has a perspective. But this mayor, my mayor, Bill de Blasio, is probably one of the best I have ever worked with,” said Bratton.
Within a year, all NYPD officers will be equipped with “smartphone technology, where we had begun already a pilot program on body cameras. There’s probably no department in America right now that is doing more on these issues,” Bratton said.[…]
Prior to joining the NYPD, Bratton headed up the Los Angeles Police Department, in the wake of the L.A. riots.
“A lot of this is informed by my experience during 2002 to 2009 in Los Angeles, where I headed up that organization responding to the federal consent decree after the riots of the 1990s. L.A. is a city you want to look to in terms of how all of this can eventually turn out,” Bratton said.
“As I was leaving in 2009, ‘The L.A. Times’ opined that in the area of race relations, which this is all about, between police and the minority community, they opined that finally a corner had been turned on race relation in that city that was probably America’s most troubled city relative to this issue,” he added.
