I don’t trust that new politician’s words anymore than the old politician.
Watch his actions, not his words or intentions.
Let’s see if he’s really going to get tough on crime by making meaningful reforms. I will doubt it until otherwise.
He’s a former cop. That might make a difference in perspective.
He has less inhibiting him than Giuliani or Bloomberg did. They can’t call him racist, and unlike the last black mayor David Dinkins, he’s no wuss. He’s a veteran cop who won’t put up with crap from the likes of Sharpton and his fellow travelers. He’s a Dem, so moderate Dems who are sick of living in fear will back him.
So it’s likely he’ll do what he said he’d do.
