Interview with Independent Mayoral Candidate Jim Walden on New York City Politics

So I think that police need support from a city hall, and they're now starting to get it. Remember, we've had four police commissioners in two and a half years. That's ridiculous. We have a record low in the number of police officers. We have age limits on cops who can serve, even though we need more cops. So City hall needs to support the NYPD and give officers what they need to do their jobs, and that's what people want. (03:56–04:01)
