    Rudy was a bully when he was NYC Mayor. He loved arresting the homeless for panhandling and fare evasion. Let him deal with the system he loved so much

      Also for how much he gets credit for cracking down on organized crime, there’s not nearly enough talk about the kinds of organized crime he cracked down on and the kinds he didn’t. I’m not saying be was in the pocket if the Russians all along or anything. But I’m for sure saying be definitely did a lot to ensure the Russian mob’s success

      I know it wasn’t him but really feel like he would give homeless people fake money so they get arrested

        That was a popular police tactic back in the 1980s. They’d have a guy pretend to be drunk with money falling out of his pocket. Easy arrest. Eventually the courts called it entrapment. Definitely a Rudy style trick
