#AsktheMayor: Heat Wave; Officer Pantaleo; Vision Zero

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jul 19, 2019

Bill de Blasio, New York City Mayor, takes calls from listeners and discusses this week in NYC.

.@NYCMayor on @BrianLehrer outright refusing to admit he has the authority to overrule @NYPDONeill’s decision to not fire Pantaleo, who killed Garner in an illegal chokehold on camera, bc of a “lack of evidence”, is chilling. He cites union employees/contracts and due process.
