Watch until 1:01:38. This is my transcript:

Don’t pretend that you’re serving the public — or the public interest.

This here — fine. You caught some maniac. That’s what you want, that’s what you got. It doesn’t matter.

But just don’t pretend… that you’re doing your job.

Y’know. So this one thing got a lot of press, so therefore it has to act. The city is so concerned about violence. Good. This is — quote — the most violent crime of the year.

Great.

New York City doesn’t give a damn about violence. Otherwise this would’ve never happened. And there’s violence all over New York, and the city…

I just want to say a couple things about statements that have been made. People have said that the response was out of proportion. Now, when a person… when any… you take any person in New York… I’m not talking about me; I’m talking about other people.

When they’re deliberately maimed and they’re beaten and the powers that be, they’re essentially — they fill in their paperwork and they shrug their shoulders and they turn their back… and they go back, they go home and they have their cup of coffee… this is the issue. This is the issue.

That — what they’re doing — that is criminal. That is negligent. That is criminal negligence. People have said: “Uhh, I’ve heard things said about [Bernard]… that I was uncivilized.” That I was uncivilized. That I acted in an uncivilized way. And if you think this is vicious…

If you knew what was in my mind, the most vicious thing I can think of, is that the person that said that — I wish that the person was sitting there in that seat instead of me. That would have been beautiful. I wish that I was never there and that they were there. That would have been great.
