On this episode of the 265 Police Live Series "We are the Experts" Eric & John sit down and discuss two #newyorkpost articles that are a week apart with two statements, one from the outgoing #nypd Chief of Department. The other from the Police Commissioner. In both articles each claim a minor tweak to the diastrous bail reform law, allowing judges to have discretion is all that is needed to fix the growing crime crisis in #nyc. While we agree that is needed we debunk that is all thats needed and discuss the many other issues that are at play here that the appointed police executives are unwiling to discuss. #TheFinestUnfiltered #thefinest #thecitythatneversleeps
