Bratton and his five years as chief of the Los Angeles Police Department

Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton says he still gets angry when people shoot people and he wants to put the culprits away for the rest of their lives every time it happens, he tells Rachel Uranga today reflecting on his five years at the top of the country's second largest police force. He says he get's a jingle on his Blackberry everytime there is a major shooting in the city. He has seen the number of homicides drop, says gangs are still problem number 1, especially in the San Fernando Valley, and hopes to reduce crime by 5 percent.
