I have a plan to get 7,000 more cops into the streets where they're desperately needed and into the subways and into the parks. We have the beginning of school. We're spending $42,000 per public school pupil even though there's 100,000 less students. Two thirds of fourth graders cannot read, write or do math at grade levels. A third of the students don't even bother showing up for school. (03:12–03:20)
