"He let hundreds, if not a couple of thousand people off Rikers Island, has sent them home. Some of them very, major violent criminals."

"He has he's cut back 600 positions on the plainclothes anticrime unit, which is primarily responsible for taking guns off the streets and going after violent criminals in progress," Kerik said. "Every move he has made has been done in an attempt to diminish the police department."
