00:00And Lieutenant Doyle from the Ceremonial Unit needs 15 minutes, when you can, about the Connors funeral.
00:08End of day.
00:09Ho ho, 43 send-offs gonna be a pip.
00:14I mean the racket afterwards.
00:16Who or what is 43?
00:18Bill Connors, the late PC.
00:21Who called him 43?
00:23Well, he called himself that.
00:25He was the 43rd NYPD Commissioner.
00:29So his friends started calling him that too.
00:31And so it was his enemies who called him Con Game Connors?
00:34Hey, respect.
00:35Listen, he wasn't perfect, but he was loyal as they come.
00:40Loyal to who?
00:42To his fellow cops.
00:44In transit, where he started.
00:47In this office, where he ended up.
00:49Right up to the end.
00:51And he never missed a single walkout or racket when a cop retired.
00:56That's one way to look at it.
01:00Moving on.
01:01There another way?
01:03Yes.
01:05You wanna call it?
01:06Maybe we put a pin in this?
01:09You might wanna ask yourself, if he was so great at the job, why did he suddenly resign?
01:15And why did his Chief of Department, me, get called up to replace him the next day?
01:21Mistakes were made.
01:22That's an understatement.
01:24Knives were out.
01:25I'd like to take a moment of silence, in memory and respect, for 43.
