John.

I gotta teach you everything?

I wanna say, John.

As mayor of New York City, we are always ready for our pizza.

Oh my God.

Don't even, come on, come on.

Wait, can you, that technique.

There's a Big Ope down here?

We've come to a settlement.

What is the settlement?

What I've said was you cannot, it's a simple idea, and our new police commissioner, Bill Bratton, who's fantastic, says this, you can't break the law to enforce the law.

It's as simple as that.

All right, turn it up.

And...

What we had for years was young men of color, overwhelmingly, they were the ones singled out, treated as suspects, even if they hadn't done anything wrong, stop and frisk.

In its heyday, we had almost 700,000 stops in a single year.

Almost 90% of them were innocent people.

And every way, shape, or form, no summons, no charge, nothing.

That's not how you proceed in a democratic society.

I argue that public safety and civil liberties have to march hand in hand.
