Besides that being a left wing position, I can tell you that I've met with top police commanders who implemented the NYC crime crackdown, and they were extremely careful to proceed in a lawful way that was approved even by New York's liberal judicial system.

You oughta ask those fellas about the Giuliani administration's "anti-DUI" initiative in which vehicles of motorists accused of driving drunk were seized by the police under a civil forfeiture process EVEN IF THE MOTORIST IN QUESTION WAS NOT CONVICTED.

A close review of that whole program ought to be enough to convince real Americans that Giuliani has no business serving in any government capacity in the United States of America.

Anyone who praises that A-hole's "tough-on-crime" track record has no idea what he's talking about.

Oh grow up. Giuliani is a liberal in many ways. But you don't know what you're talking about, period, if you want to pretend that by cleaning up NYC Giuliani was some kind of neo Nazi "A-hole" as you put it.

NYC was out of control. Unsafe. Ruled by thugs. And most people thought it was irretrievable.

Giuliani supported a perfectly legal modern policing approach that brought the streets under control and turned NYC around.

You're in a fantasy world if you think some DUI car forfeiture law is gong to convince everyone that Giuliani is Adolph Hitler's stepson. Maybe we should turn Free republic into an ACLU website next.
