    Yeah, I remember him instituting blatantly unconstitutional policies like “stop and frisk”. I’m still not sure how he got away with it or how people didn’t realize he was a fascist.

      He got lucky in that a lot of the reasons for the nationwide decrease in crime happened during his administration.

      You also had enough people in NYC happy that the city was becoming more orderly.
