In NYC Rudy Guliani's term in office resulted in the annual murder rate dropping from something like 1800 to 2000 down to under 700 (mostly black lives saved BTW--blacks who were dropping like flies under David Dinkins, our 1st black mayor) but the MSM focused on things like the Diallo case so the black community enthralled by Sharpton and Jackson consistently saw him as a racist...clueless people don't have a clue...go figure...and, of course, the MSM cover Sharrpton and Jackson like they are demigods instead of reporting the truth and informing the masses...truth...bah!...integrity...what's that?...money and power...that's the Democrats of today.
