- some of the things that i ve done have helped not only the entire city, but the black community more than my predecessors. crime is at the lowest level that it s been at in 35 years. everybody benefits from that including the black community. - i m going to put total occupation mentality in the black and brown communities. - the reports of police misconduct are on the rise. - he came from behind me, and he put his gun to the back of my head and told me to get on my effing knees. i complied. and he just started whacking me with his gun. - we want to get rid of these people so that when you walk in the street, ma am, you don t have to clutch your pearls. - he went to catholic schools. there were no black people. he went to college. there were no black people. and then he becomes mayor. and when he came into office, he had no relationship with the black community. - i look at the vast change that s occurred in the african american community in new york city. i m proud of that. - he

[tense music] - the city of new york became the safest big city in america. - as time goes by, the kind of obsession with metrics becomes a problem. - mayor giuliani said, i want those numbers lower. i want them lower and lower. - the strong drop in crime fed the accusation that his police force was too aggressive. - the streets are safer. but the cost was having a police department that started to act as an occupying army. - for rudy, what quality of life meant was quality of white life.
- rudy giuliani basically asked the city to shut up and go away. - his whole political strategy was us against them. - and the city exploded. all: arrest the four cops! arrest the four cops! - it enrages the black leaders of the city. now, giuliani is rocked on his heels because he has no relationship with any of them. - this is outright slaughter. if he was facing a firing squad, he would not have been shot at 41 times. - stop the murder! - sharpton was an albatross around giuliani s neck. and the mayor couldn t shake him. - it becomes part of this litany in which people can talk about the utterly abusive policing under giuliani. - hundreds were going to jail, nonviolently laying out in front of one police plaza. - the demonstrations continued day after day. the arrests continued day after day. there was very little comment from the mayor. - people think it s a systemic problem
and rudy is such a great dad. i wish all those people who think he s so tough could see him with children. that s the real rudy. - rudy giuliani for mayor. - new york in the early 90s really was coming apart at the seams. - it is easy to bash new york city, where you don t have to be in jail to see the world through bars, a city where crime is never far from your mind. - if somebody doesn t stand up for this city, then there isn t gonna be much of a city left. - rudy, with his law and order attitude, really had an amazing opportunity.
and there was a lot of speculation about what effect the diagnosis would have. - his wife, donna hanover, rarely seen with the mayor, issues a statement saying, i will be very supportive of him in dealing with the choices he has to make. - i remember it was very physically debilitating. he would get these enormous hot flashes. and he was very vulnerable in public. - what comes out of that is, for a while at least, a kinder, gentler rudy or at least the image of a kinder, gentler rudy. - he started talking about what things mean in life and love. he started hugging people. - was he a changed man? did he become more vulnerable after his diagnosis? maybe for a week or so. i don t recall much more than that. tourists tourists that turn into scientists. tourists photographing thousands of miles of remote coral reefs. that can be analyzed by ai in real time.
