I know it\u2019s an extraordinary thing but \u2026 <\/span><span>He is acting in such an irresponsible way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Giuliani, 76, served in City Hall from 1994 to 2001, taking over in the midst of a historic crime wave presided over by his predecessor David Dinkins. During Dinkins\u2019 tenure, the city endured more than 2,000 murders per year and deadly race riots in Crown Heights and Washington Heights.<\/p>\n<p>Giuliani insisted de Blasio has performed worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDinkins never lost the complete respect of the police department. He didn\u2019t do things where he went on the warpath against them,\u201d Giuliani said, adding that if he were still in charge he would have pre-empted the riots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would have been solved about two weeks ago. They never would have gotten beyond the first car they burned, rock they threw, person they beat up,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you throw a rock you get arrested, if you spit at a cop you get arrested \u2026 Call me a Nazi or Hitler.

On his watch, two high-profile cases involving police violence erupted. In August 1997, NYPD cops sexually assaulted Brooklyn man Abner Louima in the bathroom of the 70th Precinct stationhouse. Two years later, four officers unloaded 41 rounds at Amadou Diallo near his home in the Bronx. Diallo had been unarmed, but the cops mistook his wallet for a gun.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15791101\"><img alt=\"Abner Louima NYPD attack\" data- data- height=\"441\" width=\"662\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Abner Louima rests in the hospital after being attacked at the 70th Precinct stationhouse.<\/span><span>Pool\/Reuters<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Both cases sparked massive protests across the city, which, in the case of Diallo, lasted for weeks. Al Sharpton, along with 30 others, was arrested during a Wall Street rally which drew 2,000 one month after the killing.<\/p>\n<p>Giuliani noted with pride however, that neither event devolved into race riots or looting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went to the Malcolm X Mosque. I spoke there. I went to his funeral. Every day I met with people in the community that were willing to work constructively,\u201d he said. \u201cI refused to meet with Al Sharpton because he was not willing to work constructively and I knew he was a racial arsonist,\u201d Giuliani said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of Dinkins\u2019 mistakes was to empower Al Sharpton.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div id=\"slideshow-15780535-1\">\n<div>\n<div>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Kadiatou Diallo Portrait\"  src=\"https:\/\/thenypost.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/06\/diallo-1.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1024\" ><\/img><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n                            Amadou Diallo                                                           <\/p>\n<p>Brendan Hoffman\n                                                    <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"diallo-protests\"  src=\"https:\/\/thenypost.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/06\/diallo-protests.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1024\" ><\/img><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n                            Hundreds gather at a rally in front of federal court against the lethal shooting by police of Amadou Diallo.                                                            <\/p>\n<p>New York Post\n                                                    <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"diallo-protest-2\"  src=\"https:\/\/thenypost.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/06\/diallo-protest-2.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1024\" ><\/img><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n                            Hundreds gather at a rally in front of federal court against the lethal shooting by police of Amadou Diallo.                                                            <\/p>\n<p>New York Post\n                                                    <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n                Up Next\n                <\/p>\n<article target=\"_blank\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/06\/06\/willy-wonka-like-chocolate-factory-to-open-outside-amsterdam\/\" tabindex=\"-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n                    <picture><source data- data- media=\"(min-width: 640px)\"  ><source data- data- media=\"(max-width: 639px)\"  ><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\"><\/img><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n<p>                        <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/06\/06\/willy-wonka-like-chocolate-factory-to-open-outside-amsterdam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<p>            <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                Chocoholics \u2014 and rollercoaster fanatics \u2014 rejoice!
