Giuliani: Obamas Propaganda Made People Hate the Police
In light of Saturdays brutal murders of two NYPD officers, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani blasted President Barack Obama for inciting propaganda that cause people to hate the police.
Weve had four months of propaganda, starting with the president, that everybody should hate the police, Giuliani said on Fox & Friends Sunday morning. The protests are being embraced, the protests are being encouraged. The protests, even the ones that dont lead to violence, a lot of them lead to violence, all of them lead to a conclusion: The police are bad, the police are racist. That is completely wrong.
In an appearance earlier in the morning, Giuliani also called it a false impression and a ridiculous myth that the police are the problem, and added that the police are the ones who do the most to help the black community. Giuliani also said it goes too far to blame Mayor Bill de Blasio for the murders, as NYC Patrolmans Benevolent Association head Patrick Lynch did on Saturday.

(23,664 posts)Maybe rudy doesn't like the idea of blaming mayors for events that took place during their terms.
I wonder why?

(14,691 posts)Once when Bloomberg was mayor (1st term) I was being driven to a home by the fiance of a woman who was giving up a cat because the fiance was allergic. Fiance was an NYPD cop. During the ride I just let him talk, and he talked and talked about his allergies but mostly about how former mayor Giuliani let the cops "do their jobs". He clearly preferred the Generalissimo over new Mayor Bloomberg who had a much more evenhanded policy toward NYPD. When Giuliani was mayor cops ruled. Many civil rights cases were filed during his time in office due to police misconduct, and NYC ended up settling most of them for millions each.
P.S. I adopted the cat.
