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02:16 Look, that law needs to be repealed.

02:22 It needs to be repealed.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?
