Today\’s quote comes to us from former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani:
“We\’ve had four months of propaganda starting with the president that everybody should hate the police. The protests are being embraced, the protests are being encouraged. The protests, even the ones that don\’t 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.
“…I don\’t think it goes too far to say the mayor did not properly police the protests. He allowed the protesters to take over the streets. He allowed them to hurt police officers, to commit crimes, and he didn\’t arrest them. And when you do that, similar to what happened in Crown Heights, you create a great riot. He should have known better. For that he has to take accountability.”
I admire Rudy Giuliani\’s level of restraint. He is one hell of a lot more diplomatic than I would have been.
And I won\’t insult your intelligence by telling you why I have awarded Quote Of The Day honors to Mr. Giuliani. You already know.
