Bill Clinton: “You used that to hire police officers, didn't you? That money was used just to hire police officers. But the money in…”

“You used that to hire police officers, didn't you? That money was used just to hire police officers. But the money in the crime bill--you know, I talked about the bill that's now pending in the Congress--there will be money in that bill that can be used in this community and in this school to do just what you said. In other words, I don't want to mix apples and oranges. I think it's important to hire more law enforcement officers, too, because I know if they're in the community and tied to the folks in the community, they can reduce crime. But I agree that there also has to be money spent to do the things you said. If this crime bill passes in anything like the form we're talking about, there will be money for that purpose. And I perfectly agree with you. That was a good question. Give her a hand. [Applause] Homelessness”
