Not feeling the heat?

Crawford's the one
who should be in the hot seat.

the justice his people want.

He's got massive credibility
from the Black community.

You give him free rein,

and it goes up in flames,
it falls on him.

00:40:19,459 --> 00:40:22,795

he succeeds in Staten Island,

than see Crawford tap‐dance.

At least the message
is that it matters.

what he's stepping into?
