This is pure FUD, coming from a seemingly very targeted throwaway account. Thinking that crime in a city is directly correlated with the political party of the mayor of that is naive at best.

Giuliani likes to tout that he turned NYC around, but his direct role in it is far from a settled matter. TL;DR: crime dropped everywhere in the early 90s, not just in NYC. [1]

Plus, how does your fearmongering about the current mayor jive with the fact that he brought in the same police commissioner that Giuliani did back when he took office?
