No.6 Jimmy:
Also, you're getting a lot of praise
in that you're the first governor
to really enact police reform.
What can you say about that?

Gov. Andrew Cuomo:
Well, you heard the outrage after the George Floyd murder.
And look. In many ways, I'm surprised it took so long.
You know, you have 30 cases that went before George Floyd.
You can go back to
Rodney King in Los Angeles was 30 years ago.
We had Amadou Diallo, Abner Louima
in New York 20 years ago.
And they're all basically the same.
Eric Garner, in New York City, six years ago,
died of a chokehold on Staten Island.
So I think people at one point just said enough is enough.
They want a different type of policing.
They want a different "A" with the police.
And I think it's a good thing, Jimmy.
I think, look, if you don't have trust and respect
between the police and the community, you have nothing.
The "A" has to work.
And if it's not working for one party,
the "A" isn't working.
And what the community is saying is, "It's not working for us."
So, great. Let's reset the "A".
And what do you want from the police department
and what do you not want?
What do you want fixed?
And let's have that conversation as a nation.
We're starting it in this state.
And I've said every police department in every city
has to sit down at the table with the other side
in a collaborative
and redesign a police department that works for everyone
and change the procedures you need to change.
Because the police have to do their job also,
and they need trust and respect to do their job.
But I think it's a great transformational moment
when we get to reset and change the "A".

what this blank "A" will be
