I do have some sergeants that actually like him, so I gotta be more careful." But it seems to me, [laughs] Vincent, that the longer this guy stays in office, and the more times you're on this radio program, that you personally have lost your patience.

10 months in, and you can't have it both ways.

You can't take credit for the drop in crime every month when you sit with the PC, and then scapegoat the men and women of this department who risk their lives every single day upholding the law.

So you can't tell me that you side with one part of, of, of this city, the DSA, who bring nothing to the table and want nothing but destruction, and they want to destroy the, our way of life.

They want to destroy the way our kids grow up.

And, and at the same time, you know, we're, we're keeping things safe in the city regardless of the way that they try and change the laws.

And you know what? I'm sick and tired of this nonsense.

Nope.

Nope.

Exactly.

It, it's the sa- it's the same gang that tried to run over, uh, Eric Duran.

Uh, it's the same gangs that rip their communities apart with drugs, with violence.

Uh, you know, the ICE agents were doing their job, and the fact of the matter is, if this city and if, if we had policies in place where we were allowed to shut down the street, where they can take the people off the street and, and citizens are not put in harm's way, if they can go grab these people inside the courtrooms or inside the d- the detention centers, you know, you no longer have collateral damage.

And it seems as if that our politicians don't care.

They want the incident to happen.

They want the collateral damage w- uh, within the community so that they can say, "Look, look how ...

It's not the complicated thing they're making it.

Well, Vincent, you were supposed to get some extra people, and it looks like the city council budget went through without it.

It's an extreme disappointment.

You know, you have the speaker that basically is supposed to be checks and balances for the mayor.

And it kind of just shows now that she's proven she's kind of nothing more than a rubber stamp for his socialist agenda.

You know, we're supposed to get all these cops and we're already losing people left and right.

This month alone, we are down.

We had 81 people file for retirement and we only got 35 new sergeants.

Your entire board got reelected.

Tell us, you were very upset all week that you were supposed to get some extra people, and it looks like the city council budget went through without it.

Yeah, it's an extreme disappointment.

You know, you have the speaker that basically is supposed to be your checks and balances for the mayor.

I understand you guys had a big election and your entire, you guys are doing such a great job, your entire board got reelected.

If you do not make police

officers, you cannot make supervisors, right? And when all of the top minds of this job are leaving retirement, who is to hand down that knowledge to the younger guys? You are now a year behind in hiring people, which is in essence what it is that's going to be done.

580 was really a minimal number.

I mean, they need a lot more than that.

Everybody knows that.

We can say 34,000.

We can say 35,000.

How do you guys get young kids motivated to want this job?

You feel it falls woefully short for the NYPD and for public safety.

This is ridiculous.

I mean, what else do they have in store for us if this is what they're going to present the first four or five months into their terms? A budget is supposed to balance the books.

It's supposed to make things better for your checkbook or whatever it is, at least in your household.

And you're supposed to prioritize where money goes so you can keep things up and work in working order.

And that's exactly what they didn't do.

I mean, the agreement that they made today is gonna cost the people of the city a lot.

What does it mean for the community if they don't have more officers coming in?

You feel it falls woefully short for the NYPD and for public safety.

What are your thoughts?

Listen, I mean, I agree with you 100%.

There is no accountability on the other end.

And every time something happens that's wrongdoing on their part with whatever laws that they pass or whatever judgments that they render, they point to the police and they make the police the scapegoats.

And we all know that the economy, the police, the economy all go hand in hand as do the business people in this city.

That's what makes this city run.

Not an ideology, not some democratic socialist out there or progressive judge that feels as if they have to do good by what their society's beliefs are.

just

Vincent, tell us the good news.

John, yesterday we had our delegates meeting, which comprises of about 162 delegates across the whole entire city.

And we set out yesterday to revisit the violent protest and counter-protest that was held at Gracie Mansion and the actions that were taken by our members of the service and the safety, their own safety that was put on the line.

I really feel deep down in my heart all the time with my men and women that the one thing we should always do, we should always tip our hat to our own people.

Sometimes I think we take that for granted.

So yesterday we honored five people, deputy chiefs, three sergeants, and the police officers that were all involved in that incident outside of Gracie Mansion about a week and a half ago.

What can the average citizen do besides voting in November?

Yeah, you know, that was the one thing that you just stole my line.

What can the average citizen, there's a million people probably listening out there, what can the average citizen do besides voting in November?

Yeah, you know, that was the one thing that you just stole my line.

You tell us what the heck is going on.

I can tell you that with this administration that has taken over now, that if they do not change course, That moving forward, when things get warmer in this city, the quality of life is going to get a lot worse.

And that is coming from experience.

I've been doing this for 36 years now.

And I've been a supervisor for 30 of those 36 years.

And I've seen a lot in this city.

I've worked in this city.

It was only a one-way slugfest with them throwing, well, whatever it was, snowballs or snowballs with rocks in them or whatever it was.

You tell us what the heck is going on.

I have family members that have been part of law enforcement.
