The Mayor, the Commissioner and the NYPD

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 6, 2015

Brigid Bergin, WNYC's City Hall and politics reporter, and Azi Paybarah, political reporter for Capital New York, joins us to discuss Mayor de Blasio and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton's fraught relationship with the NYPD and the PBA - including the apparent work slowdown by cops to register their discontent. They're joined by Al-Jazeera legal analyst, Jami Floyd, and Legal Aid Society attorney, Russell Novack, to discuss the implications of the NYPD's "virtual work stoppage" on policing, the crime rate and quality-of-life crimes.
