  What are you doing about the bogus arrest of more than 30 high school students in Bushwick? Is it any wonder people of color don't trust the police? What are the consquenses? Who is responsible?

  What can be done to reign in an overzealous DA?

  It seems that nowadays you can indict a ham sandwich, and there are alot of DA's out there who will do just that if it makes headlines. The current New York governor was the champion of the headline and because of that, lives were ruined because of it.

  Over the history of your term in office, what percentage of your prosecutions are for white collar crime, fraud, embezzlement, etc?

  Are your white collar crime prosections going to take a back seat now that terrorism, violent crime and those 'fear' crimes are up?

  The amount of litter around the city, in particular in Prospect Park, is horrendous. It doesn't seem like the police have done anything to curb this problem. Even a few tickets once in a while might help change the culture of littering and provide additional revenue for the city.

  Joe Hynes wanted to talk about crime, murder gangs, etc. Your allegedly intelligent audience wanted to talk about neighbors who smoke, civil matters, etc.

  Dont they know the role of the DA?

  Dont you have call screeners?

  Hi Joe,

  Caught your interview. Just wanted to say from one 50's Brooklyn/Flatbush/Holy Innocents kid to another, we are so glad you are our DA. And, I will get your novel! Bon Chance!

  Why did Brian keep on calling him Joe? Why were all the calls about civil matters?

  Were those kids so innocent if they were trampling on cars' rooftops. Maybe that's what YOU do on a way to a funeral, but it's probably not what MOST civil people do.
