Connections: James Sheppard - From Cop to Politician

A retired Rochester police chief, getting into politics. Democrats view him as a potential high-riser in the party. Not Bob Duffy, but Jim Sheppard. He's running for county legislature (we've asked the GOP if they want to offer a counterpoint for this race, and so far they have declined). But why go from policing to politics? How does he view police/community relations?
