NYC's Policing Summer

The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 20, 2014

A grand jury will look into the death of Eric Garner, and there's a rally planned for Saturday on Staten Island. Meanwhile, stop and frisk numbers have declined by a jaw-dropping rate over last year, this past weekend saw a spate of gun violence, and the Bratton NYPD is facing questions about its strategy. DNAinfo criminal justice editor Murray Weiss discusses a hot summer in police-community relations.
