The Point: Debating bail reform and the challenges of criminal justice reform in New York City
As the New York State Legislature debates bail reform, Mayor Eric Adams worries about everything from gun violence to shoplifting, and progressives in the New York City Council want to defund the cops.
Crime is top of mind this week as we talk all things criminal justice with George Grasso, who knows the issue from the street up.
Talking Points
Grasso rose from beat cop to first deputy commissioner of the NYPD, then he spent years as a judge. Now, he's challenging Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz in the Democratic primary.
We asked Katz to appear on "The Point," but a spokesperson said she was too busy being the DA to stop by.

Point of View
O'Brien Murray and J.C. Polanco, two of Kramer's favorite political minds, joined the show this week.
