Like Trump, this is exactly who Rudy Giuliani is and always was.
Crime started dropping during Mayor Denkins administration (as well as nationwhide) but that didnt stop Rudy (and William Bratton) from demonizing black and brown people - which effects can still be seen today.
Denkins:
`Strategic answer' to drugs
Though criticized for not acting more promptly, Mayor Dinkins insisted he first needed a plan of action from city Police Commissioner Lee Brown. That plan calls for a return to community policing in which every cop has a neighborhood beat and works to prevent crime as well as respond to it.
``I think this is the most strategic answer to the drugs and crime problem from any mayor in the last 25 years, and I salute him for hanging in there and standing tall behind his police commissioner,'' says Michael Clark, executive director of the Citizens Committee for New York City. ``You don't just throw more cops at the problem - you have to have a plan.''
Rudy:
Re-hire (Denkins hired then got rid of) Boston's William "Broken Windows" Bratton and employ so-called quality-of-life or broken-windows policing— a form of systemic racism in policing.
He took credit for saving lives during 9/11 while ignoring the brave souls who lost thier lives to medical issues in the years since.
This is more than blissfull ignorance.
Its planned to be like that.
None of this is new.
America's Mayor indeed.
