Dep. Mayor Shorris: Grand Jury is “Only the Beginning”
New York City's First Deputy Mayor Anthony Shorris talks about next steps for the city and the NYPD after a Staten Island grand jury decided not to indict in the Eric Garner case.
Cameras will be on police officers, deputy mayor Shorris says defending @CommissBratton. That and other policies "is having traction."

Shorris on @BrianLehrer: we're all frustrated that we're having a conversation 150 years after the Civil War that we shouldn't be having.

Shorris to @BrianLehrer: leadership & the community as close as they've ever been; NYC protests peaceful b/c city has long history of such.
