Title
Protest against police brutality under Giuliani and Bratton #1
Description
Rudolph William Louis Giuliani was the 107th mayor of New York City. After his success in election in 1993, he pushed a series of "tough on crime" policies and appointed William Bratton as the police commissioner. This led to widespread cases of police brutality targeted against minority groups and immigrant communities.
