Former NYPD top cop Bill Bratton blasts City Council over How Many Stops Act

from Up Close with Bill Ritter · host WABC-TV, Bill Ritter

It's the biggest battle to date between the mayor and the City Council - and it has led to a division among many New Yorkers.   A total of 42 of the 51 council members voted to override the mayor's veto of the How Many Stops Act, despite powerful warnings from the mayor.  Adams says more paperwork for NYPD officers means less time to fight crime. So what impact will the new law have on efforts to fight crime?  We talk to former New York City Police Commissioner Bill Bratton. Plus, our political panel discusses the Trump-fueled threat to what had been a bipartisan border deal. How the deal could be sunk, and what it could mean for the 2024 election. That and more analysis from ABC News political director Rick Klein and political consultant Hank Sheinkopf.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
