NYC Protesters Denounce Mayor
April 20, 2000
More than 2,000 protesters marched about three miles from Brooklyn to City Hall to demand Mayor Rudolph Giulianis resignation over his handling of fatal police shootings of unarmed black men.
``Amadou Diallo! Patrick Dorismond! Malcolm Ferguson!″ shouted the mostly Haitian-American crowd. ``Giuliani must go!″
Diallo was slain by four white police officers _ they were acquitted of murder charges. Dorismond was killed outside a Manhattan bar and Ferguson was fatally shot during an undercover drug raid, all this year.
In each case, Giuliani has vociferously defended the police. He sometimes sought to shift blame for the shootings to the victims and was criticized for releasing Dorismonds sealed juvenile criminal record.
The protesters promised to fight against Giulianis bid for the Senate.

Do Abner Louima and Sean Bell fall into this group as well?
WEVD, WBAI, and WWRL were the only radio stations that discussed these cases every day.
I don't know if it's true, but when Abner Louima was being anally raped by NYC cops, they were yelling "It's Giuliani Time!"
