Typical affirmative action, do-nothing, race-bating, black mouthpiece who does not want to hear the truth.
When Giuliani was my mayor, crime dropped dramatically. For the first time in decades, people felt safer when riding the subway or when sitting in a vehicle at a traffic light and not getting shaken down by ‘squeegie men’. Rudy may be a social liberal in many ways, but he knew that crime was out of control when he became mayor, and he did something about it.
As for police departments not looking like the cities they represent, part of the problem is that when blacks take the police test, they do not score high enough on the exam to be hired without affirmative action being implemented. They also tend to have criminal records and fail drug tests more than white applicants. This is not racist banter, it is based on truth. I am very familiar with police departments’ hiring practices in New York and the metropolitan area.
The truth doesn’t matter to the liberals.
One aspect of the Ferguson case hasn’t been reported much. And that is that Ferguson, up till now, had prided itself on being a diverse community. Ferguson is about 2/3 black and about 1/3 white. They had taken pride in being a stable mixed community.
After all of this, I can imagine many of the 1/3 white residents have been making plans to move. In a few years, I can imagine Ferguson will have tipped, will be about 99% black, and the vast majority of those blacks will be ghetto blacks. The businesses which were looted will be long gone. Ferguson will be just another hell hole. And it will be due to these events, and forcing out decent productive people of all races.
Giuliani has a lot of flaws and some wrong-headed ideas, but God bless him forever for single handedly saving NYC, my beloved home town.
And yeah, clearly he was right in what he said on this show. And it’s not all gang bangers killing gang bangers, sometimes old people, women and little children are killed.
But hey, if a white guy (or white-fill-in-the-blank guy) didn’t do it NO ONE CARES.
That really shows how demented things have become in the black community.

Consider also the hell that black cops go through in those neighborhoods. Black people in the worst neighborhoods who are somewhat resigned to white cops can still go off big time when dealing with a black cop. Black cops are called, at best, "Uncle Tom" or "sellout," and it isn't just the thugs who call them that, but even some of the good people. I would guess that, for obvious cultural reasons, few black people want to be cops, and those that embrace that career anyhow can generally get jobs in better areas than Ferguson.
I watched where Guiliani did a Meet the Press type of TV show with a Broken Windows theme. He was asked about how they were able to get rid of those "squeegie guys" (SGs) so quickly after everyone was told "There's just too many of them, you'll have to learn to live with them".
He said they talked to the beat cops on how to handle them and were told that most, if not all, of the SGs had outstanding warrants and if the street cops had them, they'd run the SGs in.
Guiliani and crew went to where the warrants were issued and were told that they were so snowed under, they couldn't be bothered with small potato warrants. Guiliani told them to do it for a month and if it didn't work out, he let up on them.
Warrants were issued, the cops went after the SGs, and overnight they evaporated. When the smoke cleared, the total was something like 60 guys instead of the "so many" the liberals used as an alibi for inaction.
Guiliani also mentioned that when they concentrated on arresting those who committed the petty crimes like public urination ot subway turnstile jumping, they found that the same guys were committing the bigger crimes as well.
