On Thursday, as the council passed a slate of long-delayed police reforms, Johnson confronted his own record and accusations of hypocrisy stemming from a 2015 budget vote that grew the New York Police Department by 1,300 officers. "I want to apologize for that," Johnson said."And not make up excuses, and not sit here today and give you a list of reasons why. This moment is a reckoning. It's a reckoning for America, it's a reckoning for our city.
