It's also worth noting that during the Dinkin's administration, of which Brown was part, there were arounf 2,200 murders per year, a large majority of the victims and perps were black. It took the Guliani administration to get the murder rate down to levels not seen since the 60's around 600 or so. Now that equates in 8 years to about 10,000 lives being saved of which probably 7,000 would likely be black persons. Now when do you think the Byrd family will speak up about their beloved mayors management skills.
There are three cards the mayor is playing, two openly. The two open ones are race-baiting and 'rat propaganda, the third is legal corruption. By legal, I mean he has manipulated government to the tune of about a billion dollars for boondoggle projects that benefit downtown fatcats. Meanwhile public services have taken a seat in the back of the bus. Potholes that'll swallow a Volkswagen go unrepaired while city employees sleep in their "Public Works" trucks. Firemen die because Brown cut their staffing below state and federal minimums. We have twelve or fourteen folks dressed up like clowns who are city "ambassadors" - wandering around only in downtown, of course. Never mind that "downtown" Houston is only about twelve blocks square - the dough goes there because that's where the fatcats want it.
Brown is an incompetent, race-baiting, desperate 'rat. There is no low to which he won't stoop. Wait until they start the calls about Orlando eating babies.
