New York, NY – Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani slammed current Mayor Bill de Blasio and the Obama administration on Sunday, blaming them for creating an anti-police atmosphere.

“It’s a tragedy,” Giuliani said after the hosts of “Fox News Sunday” showed clips of Obama administration officials commenting on the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. “That is exactly the kind of misinformation, the kind of lying, that creates this atmosphere of anti-police hatred.”
Giuliani also scolded de Blasio for his handling of anti-police protests in his city.
Watch below:
“Police officers punched, police officers spat on,” he said “There was a tremendous amount of violence. Not just a little bit.
“What you saw in New York City over the last couple of weeks would never, ever have happened while I was mayor of New York City,” he added. “They would not have been allowed to control the bridge. People don’t get to take a public bridge from the public. I don’t know if New York City officials realize if you close down streets in New York City, you’ll kill people.”
The former mayor scorned those who blame cops for killing black men, saying they should focus instead on the black-on-black crime responsible for the majority of black deaths.
“What has been allowed to go on farces the sense of anti-police hatred, and that’s 1 percent of the problem,” Giuliani said. “What about the 92 percent that is actually causing the death of most black men in this country? We can’t talk about that? You’re racist if you say that? Frankly, I think you’re racist if you don’t say that.”
Al Sharpton and the media are only perpetuating the problem, he said.
Finally …. so sense spoken.
Oy Rudy I miss the days where u were in charge… Times have changed for the worse unfortunatley .. May the innocent blood of these officers be revenged and let them rest in piece
He’s right about the fact that he would never have allowed this kind of lawlessness. I’m not sure if he could have prevented some lunatic from killing cops, though.
Oh do I miss him!!
Comrade DeBlasio is a throwback to the days of Dinkins’ mayhem
Missing in action, Michael Bloomberg-and the question is why, its because he let the occupy wall street thugs take over the streets, parks and private property as well.
He was the one who gave the green light for the same people who are now demonstrating as an angry crowd because of the grand jury decision.
City Hall has now created a new system, they will decide who and for what reason you can break the law and not be arrested or charged, the average resident can’t and won’t get that benefit.
D’blasio’s hate for cops goes back a long time, he was also arrested at Lon Island Collage Hospital, Cuba is looking for a new mayor and the borders are open.
The cops protecting the Mayor and his family should quit.
Mr. D’blasio and Bratton, stop giving us updates (as Bloomberg did in the Sandy storm) give us results.
Leniency…….
BRING BACK GIULIANI either as Mayor or President – he will RESHAPE NEW YORK and the UNITED (now DIVIDED) STATES OF AMERICA
Mr. Giuliani, Please run again!!
