He falsely claimed he'd been kidnapped before, which probably opened the door for reasonable doubt in the Junior Gotti attempted hit case, & he also vandalized his own headquarters, then claimed it was the KKK.

    I was 17 years old in the 1970s living in New York City. I remember the street crime and the dangerous environment. This was the time that the movie "Death Wish" was made and, of course, became a big hit because it resonated with so many people and especially New Yorkers. At the time that Rudolph Guiliani was running for mayor, I had thought that NYC had sunk so low that it could never recover. But we welcomed Rudy, figuring that if anyone can ressurrect NYC, he was it. I was amazed at the recovery. NYC looked and felt like an entirely new place thanks to Rudy and his team. This taught me a valuable lesson. One, don't give up just because things look very bleak. And two, keep fighting for change and it can happen. I hope that New Yorkers finally say, "Enough is enough," and that Curtis is elected. I'd like to visit NYC again one day.

      The kind of aggressive policing he's talking about is unpopular, it ends up harassing normal citizens. In a civil society it's unacceptable to harass normal citizens hoping you'll catch a bad guy, this type of policing is unpopular and is part of the reason people joined in the BLM protests. Fortunately he won't ever be mayor of NY, hopefully they can find a mayor that does 21st century policing - smart, effective policing that doesn't harass normal citizens.
