Police brutality. Sounds like the cops picking a fight and illegally suppressing a crowd. We have a right to peaceably assemble you know. If the police chose to make a peaceful assembly violent, the crowd must not be held accountable to these thugs that violate the 14th amendment by carrying firearms while normal citizens are forbidden to do so.

I guess all the murders, rapes and robberies were solved, and the speeding ticket quotas were met, so the jackbooted gestapo thug cops had to pick a fight with innocent civilians.

On Home Depot Employee Busted for Embezzlement

Rudy oversaw police brutality at its worst, Abner Louima. He stood by the Police even though they were wrong.

Rudy was in charge when 9/11 happened. Thats not a good thing.

Rudy said it was safe to come back and many people were exposed to poisonous WTC dust.

Rudy Ghouliani is simply a bad man. He is also a career gun grabbing autocratic non-constitutionalist.

Rudy is hated by the NYPD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWTYBTNog...

If Rudy knew the constitution, he would know as a Knight Commander , Order of the British Empire (KBE), he is forbidden to be President per:
Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8

"No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State."

Rudolph Giuliani gave working people plenty of reasons to hate him during his eight long years as mayor of New York City. But he left office at the end of last year a hero.

Time magazine named him 2001’s "Person of the Year"--for his performance in front of the cameras after the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center.

Giuliani may have come off as a human being during the tragedy. But his record as mayor tells a different story--that he helped to wreck the lives of thousands of people with eight years of racist and anti-poor policies and his unwavering support for New York’s murderers in blue.

New York schools have become some of the most overcrowded and run-down in the country. But Giuliani scapegoated teachers, refusing to raise their salaries even minimally without "merit pay." In 1995, he slashed the budget for the City University of New York--and then had police attack students who dared to protest.

When transit workers prepared to go on strike in December 1999, Giuliani threatened each transit employee with jail for just using the word "strike"--and a daily $25,000 fine if they walked.

Giuliani used "Quality of Life" laws to go after taxi drivers, street vendors, protesters, bicyclists--and basically anyone who showed signs of being poor. "Streets do not exist in civilized societies for the purpose of people sleeping there," Time’s Person of the Year once sneered. "Bedrooms are for sleeping."

But Giuliani’s most enduring legacy may be his support for racial profiling and police murder. From the hideous torture of Abner Louima in 1997 and the murder of Amadou Diallo in a hail of 41 bullets in 1999, Giuliani relentlessly supported the NYPD Black and Blue.

At the same time, Giuliani showered massive tax breaks on Wall Street and the corporations.

Corporate media outlets like Time may pay tribute to this monster. But Giuliani’s real legacy is eight years of racist scapegoating, police terror and attacks on education.
