Bratton’s Record; Moreland Commission; Dinkins on Mandela

The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 6, 2013

We remember Nelson Mandela's 1990 visit to New York City with former Mayor David Dinkins. Bill Bratton has been named as the next NYPD commissioner. Hear about his record, from Boston to Los Angeles and yes, New York city. Plus: Nassau County DA Kathleen Rice is a co-chair of the Moreland Commission and talks about the efforts to address government corruption; and a spotlight on the success of Children’s Village, a group that helps vulnerable children.
