Speaker 3: later identified as Chase Laccard of Soundview, was arrested on

Speaker 2: I keep telling you all the craziest people in America

Speaker 1: Let me tell you something.
Speaker 2: When I was younger, I asked my parents to take
Speaker 2: me a lot of places, Okay, a lot of places
Speaker 2: I needed rids to right drop me off at a
Speaker 2: friend's house, maybe the skating ring, a football game on
Speaker 2: a Friday night. But never in my life have I
Speaker 2: asked my mother or father to drop me off of
Speaker 2: the shootout. Okay, somebody in Detroit is writing a script
Speaker 2: for this new family crime.
Speaker 1: Thriller right now. Okay, a twenty year old that makes.
Speaker 2: Poor choices has usually been influenced by an adult that
Speaker 2: has made poor choices.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's easy to condemn this nineteen twenty year old kid.
Speaker 2: But when they say the apple do on fall too
Speaker 2: far from the treat is what they are talking about
Speaker 2: it right. The fact that you are the deputy police commissioner,
Speaker 2: an officer of the law. You are supposed to protect
Speaker 2: and serve the escalate crime. Instead you chose to raise
Speaker 2: a criminal.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: The New York Post said the parents helped their son
Speaker 2: Chase plan a hit right outside of the Bronx Criminal Court.
Speaker 2: They was in a Chrysler pacifica okay, and their son,
Speaker 2: who they said, is a member of the Slutty gang.
Speaker 1: What gang did they say?
Speaker 2: The slutty gang, That's what The New York Post said,
Speaker 2: open fire on a member of a rival street crew
Speaker 2: called Pee la Fay, and by the grace of God,
Speaker 2: he missed his targets. How you a police officer but
Speaker 2: haven't even taught your son how to shoot?
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: I'm glad nobody got hit, But if you're going to
Speaker 2: take your son out to get to drop on his ops,
Speaker 2: at least make sure he has a great aim.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: You had everything else planned out, according to the New
Speaker 2: York Posts. After they drove off, they had their son
Speaker 2: changed clothes to avoid detection.
Speaker 1: I don't understand what happened here, I really don't, Okay.
Speaker 2: Jennifer Lackett, of course, was fired from her job as
Speaker 2: Mount Vernon Deputy Police commissioner. She was making one hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty eight thousand, two hundred and nineteen thousand dollars
Speaker 2: a year.
Speaker 1: Okay, she was the boss of the wellness unit.
Speaker 2: Now the whole family is facing attempted murder okay, conspiracy
Speaker 2: and reckless endangerment charges.
Speaker 1: Somebody has to explain to me how this happens. Okay.
Speaker 2: I mean one of my pet peeves is hypocrisy, and
Speaker 2: in this case the hypocrisy is heavy.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: The people who are supposed to stop crime allegedly became
Speaker 2: the support staff for it.
Speaker 1: Okay, not just the fact she was in law enforcement,
Speaker 1: but the fact she was a parent. I don't understand the.
Speaker 2: Dynamics of marriages anymore because someone is supposed to intervene
Speaker 2: and simply say this is stupid.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: James, you the husband, the head of the household. Your
Speaker 2: job is to protect and provide whats you off duty. Jennifer,
Speaker 2: you the mother and deputy police commissioner. You don't have
Speaker 2: nothing better for your son to do this summer? Okay,
Speaker 2: he's twenty, Tell him go find a job. Sen as
Speaker 2: young Aster Trade school. What about your son? Don't you
Speaker 2: that you would allow him to throw his life away
Speaker 2: like this and ruin your life in the process.
Speaker 1: Okay. This is the epitome of why you have to
Speaker 1: be your child's parents and not their ganggang. Okay.
Speaker 2: It's usually friends enabling behavior like this in the youth,
Speaker 2: but in this case, the parents are enabling the criminal
Speaker 2: behavior instead of parenting. Jennifer James, you're supposed to be
Speaker 2: driving your son to college, you know, church a job interview.
Speaker 2: What prosecutors are saying you drove your son to commit
Speaker 2: attempted murder? How you go from carpooling to conspiracy? Okay,
Speaker 2: I'll be the first to tell you. Every day I
Speaker 2: learned something new about parenting.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: You would think for as long as people have been
Speaker 2: doing it, we would have it all figured out by now,
Speaker 2: But we don't.
Speaker 1: Okay. But I know one thing. I'm not perfect, but
Speaker 1: I'm not the goddamn lackers. Okay. The lackers was out
Speaker 1: here helping their son catching somebody lack him. Okay. The
Speaker 1: job of a parent is.
Speaker 2: To raise productive citizens, not to become accomplices in their crimes.
Speaker 2: Some families don't don't pass down wealth. Some don't pass
Speaker 2: down wisdom, They pass down bad decisions.
Speaker 1: Okay, And if.
Speaker 2: Nobody breaks the cycle of generational ignorance, everybody eventually ends.
Speaker 1: Up trapped by it. Please give the laccards the biggest
Speaker 1: he huh. I don't get it me neither. I don't
