They took a billion dollars from the police budget, dropped the police way down. Lowest level. Could you in modern history. I could not stop it. But what I did do was I added more state police for New York City and more MTA police. I should have done much more. I should have added many more police because the city really ravaged the police department and the state police, state troopers, MTA police could have offset that city action. (28:58–29:05)
