Mike Bloomberg in CNN 2020 S.C. Town Hall

On Corporations: End forced arbitration, like I do in my companies

BLOOMBERG: Yes. I can tell you, in my company, we do not force arbitration, period. We have never done it, certainly not going to start it. And I think that should be the standard for the entire country. If we did it, maybe some other big companies will do it, and maybe we can start a national trend, because I think the conduct that the #MeToo movement has exposed is really outrageous.

On Crime: Makeup of police department should reflect city population

BLOOMBERG: I made sure that our police department is a majority minority as is the city.

Q: You wanted the police department to reflect the demographics of the city?

BLOOMBERG: That's exactly right, reflect is the exact right word; because you want people to think that the cops understand them, their culture, and whatever. That doesn't mean you're going to find somebody that you have a lot in common with every time you meet a police officer. But if 1/10 of 1% of the citizens of New York come from Egypt, 1/10 of 1% of our police department would come from Egypt. The only place we don't mirror the population exactly is men and women because the city is 50/50 roughly and only about 35% of the police department are female.

On Families & Children: Create good alternatives for kids so they avoid guns & crime

On Principles & Values: If elected will put company into blind trust and sell it

On Welfare & Poverty: Put more bank branches in minority neighborhoods
