Would you care to back up your "skyrocketed" claim with data? Check out
today's Wall Street Journal for some police statistics for New York City
since mayor Guiliani took office:
11 fatal police shootings in 1999 -- the lowest number since records have
been kept, and lower per capita than 5 other major cities,
Intentional discharges of an officers weapon down 66% compared to Mayor
Dinkin's last year in office, and this along with a 54% reduction in major
crimes during the same period.
Regarding the not-guilty verdict in the police shooting incident, it was
delivered by a mixed-race jury, which was obviously convinced that the
officers were justified in their actions. Too bad Ms. Rodham-Clinton had
declared the officers murderers the day before the verdict.
This is not meant to excuse actual police brutality in any way, but the facts
just to match the Rodham-Clinton/Sharpton rhetoric.
