Keechant Sewell will soon become the first woman — and only the third Black person — in history to lead the NYPD. NY1’s Zack Fink, Courtney Gross and Juan Manuel Benítez dive into the significance of this appointment, and explain why this job is as much about politics as it is about public safety. They also weigh in on the contentious race for City Council speaker. The two finalists have both declared victory. So what is happening behind the scenes? And, as a bonus segment, they also evaluate Mayor de Blasio’s environmental record. Making the city more resilient and adaptable to the climate crisis was a pillar of his campaign for mayor. But now that he’s getting ready to leave office, his results on this issue are getting mixed reviews.
