Some tepid applause as Haywood takes a deep breath -- HAYWOOD I’ve been a street cop my whole

That means no more quotas on traffic tickets...if it doesn’t threaten public safety, I don’t wanna know about it. Penny- ante pot busts, selling loosies or loitering - not what we’re here for. I also want to have Members of the Service living where they work. RIVAS Live in East New York? HAYWOOD Right. SANDEFORD Rivas just managed to move out of the Bronx.
