Regina says, “that this is not about any of that it is about taking legislative action and a repurposing from top to bottom of the NYPD and their resources. To get “him” to retrain would be like getting him to cop to the fact that there is systematic racism and oppression within his ranks.” Sidney enters Frank’s office and listens in as well. “That is geared towards people of color. Repurpose.”
