Extra Time: State of the NYPD; social media and mental health
NEW YORK (WABC) -- In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we analyze Wednesday's "State of the NYPD" address.
It's not easy to run the nation's biggest police department. Case in point: Saturday night's attack in Times Square, where two NYPD officers were seen in a video being attacked by several men.
The men were arrested, but immediately released back to the street without bail.
So, what the plan for 2024?
Eyewitness News reporter N.J. Burkett has more on Extra Time.
Social media and mental health
A contentious hearing took place on Capitol Hill Wednesday as the CEOs from Meta, X, TikTok, Discord and Snapchat testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle took turns slamming the CEOs for exposing some children to predators online and extracted an unusual promise for causing harm to children.
Joining Extra Time about this is Dr. Warren Ng, the Community Health Director at the Center for Youth Mental Health at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
