What would you suggest a mayor/city counsel do about policing?
Ummm...have more of it! A lot more. Don't worry about streotyping or alleged assaults. Start cleaning up the cities.
Is it proven that a greater police presence in the inner cities leads to less crime/fear in the people?
Haven't we tried this before? It's not as simple as 'more cops'.
In NYC under Rudy and it worked.
Link to source please?
Look it up. WTF? You always ask. I always provide and then we do it all over again. This is pointless.
F*CK ALL OF YOU.
I just provided a link that showed crime is lower now than it was under Rudy.

WTF?!?!?!
I've had it Jeff. I have been on these boards 4ever. I don't lie or dodge questions. I am not putting up with ******** always looking for proof. Either you believe me or you don't. Period.
During the 1990s, crime rates in New York City dropped dramatically, even more than in the United States as a whole. Violent crime declined by more than 56 percent in the City, compared to about 28 percent in the nation as whole. Property crimes tumbled by about 65 percent, but fell only 26 percent nationally.
Many attribute New York's crime reduction to specific "get-tough" policies carried out by former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's administration. The most prominent of his policy changes was the aggressive policing of lower-level crimes, a policy which has been dubbed the "broken windows" approach to law enforcement. In this view, small disorders lead to larger ones and perhaps even to crime. As Mr. Guiliani told the press in 1998, "Obviously murder and graffiti are two vastly different crimes. But they are part of the same continuum, and a climate that tolerates one is more likely to tolerate the other."
I used Rudy as an example of what works and what should be done in Chicago, Oakland, etc. More policing not less. But that was not even the point of the discussion. Crime is just one of the factors.
