Basically if you look at the cities and compare them to NYC, which was out of control, it is basically the liberal policies that are running those cities. NYC under Giuliani allowed his police to use different methods to clean up his cities. Rahm Emanuel in Chicago and like the Philly Mayor here are taking tools away from the police to lower the gun violence and one of the biggest tools that can be used but the ACLU screams, is when the police use stop n frisk, which was used in NYC along withe the "Broken Windows" theory applied, which if you have ever been to N Philly or those neighborhoods, you can see none of that being applied because people will scream racism and over zealous infringement of the 4th amendment by the police. Just my 2 cents, there are thousands of citizens who deserve to have their children and themselves be safe and those cities are not doing it
I agree with 90 percent of your post merlino. Well said and a very informative view. Large cities with major problems should take Giuliani's approach to NYC and use it as a blueprint. Fact check all you want, disagree, but IT WORKED BIG TIME. Liberal policies were destroying big cities and Giuliani realized it. Look at New York now as compared to other major cities.
