hi mr conblo
how are you hi i'm sorry to interrupt
you while i guess you're shopping
for your family
about um my question is about a few
answers i would like to get from you
about the recent uh you know turmoil and
controversy over
of course very sad that the two police
officers were shot in you know cold
blood
let me hear your uh well i i think it's
a it's a tragedy for americans and
you know
we we have seen prosecution
it's not the first time that we've seen
prosecution in the holocaust and then in
israel all these terror attacks not to
mention 911 so we feel what the police
officers feel of course they are on the
street in all these crime areas so of
course they are out there protecting us
and sacrificing for us so i think it's a
it's a tragedy that uh
we should all sympathize with and um
we should pay our respect to the police
officers out there who
who are out there
us day in day out
well i definitely agree as you can see
today there was a large uh
um attendance by uh community leaders in
borough park
and just um regular you know
jewish
hasidic residents from borah park there
was a large attendance i understand
may i ask you what's your um
what's your
definition what would you say to
whatever is going on about
this the split
between the mayor's office and the nypd
about the uh
controversial statements that
mayor de blasio made
i think it was a bad choice of words
because if you look at
the crime rates
most of the of the shootings and
stabbings happen in these
areas the neighborhoods of minorities so
i think the mayor shouldn't have said
that his
son will be targeted by police rather
say
watch out when you go on the street and
the police is there to protect you even
though you go in bad neighborhoods so i
think that should have been a statement
that
the mayor should have given to his son
but regardless of what he said he said
and now
it is his time to
seek
the fine line in in mending that with
and reaching out to those who feel they
were compromised by his statements
do you find that an apology
would mend the it's not about apology
i mean
you know
we learn that you never apologize
okay so
apologize is
if you apologize you show you're weak
uh this has nothing to do with a world
it's not a war of words it's not what
the man said and what the mayor didn't
say it is how he implements policy and
if he goes
and
supports the police department if he
strengthens the police department's act
by enforcing
policies that would
protect new yorkers
who needs an apology
and as we see in most twitter accounts
and
on the whatsapp groups it was very
interesting today at the funeral of off
of the officer that was held on 65th
street certain prisons did turn their
backs
on uh when mayor de blasio spoke certain
pieces did not where did that cut the
line i think those who didn't turn their
backs were from new jersey they are
afraid of their governors so most
probably um they know even though they
disagree with the governor you don't
turn your back on the governor otherwise
we know what the consequences will be
new yorkers have hurts but
and
like when
your rabbi used to slap you you used to
turn your back and not look at him for
the next few days
new yorkers feel that if somebody did
something wrong
will go
full force
uh and
uh
do whatever we want to do even though
the police commissioner uh said that
they shouldn't do it show disrespect and
of course during a
funeral of a police officer but i think
once the mayor is going to give them you
know their salami
a raise a contract
they'll be best buddies
thank you so much but then just in
general it was very nice to see how the
community came out
and everybody showed up to show their
respect it's always nice that the
community comes together and they go out
you know not sit at your home sit there
your computer play with your whatsapp
it's good to come out support the police
and especially a community like
borrowpack which everybody supports the
police department
because we know what would have been on
the streets if there would not be a
police department
no question about that so we should
really have to pray that all the police
officers that are out there 24 7
protecting us they should always return
safe to their families into their homes
thank you very much mr completely you
can continue your shopping
i'm just going to see what your shop i'm
i'm sure you know
next week
we need garlic because we have with the
asteroids we put in um garlic in the
asteroid
and is it the reason why you shop from
the outside because it's uh
more affordable less expensive
have a good evening
