Eleanor Bumpurs
Eleanor Bumpurs was an African-American woman who was shot and killed on October 29, 1984 by New York City police. The police were present to enforce a city ordered eviction of Bumpurs from her apartment in the Bronx since she was four months behind on her monthly rent of $98.65. In requesting NYPD assistance, housing authority workers told police that Bumpurs was emotionally disturbed, had threatened to throw boiling lye, and was using a knife to resist eviction. When Bumpurs refused to open the door, police broke in. In the struggle to subdue her, one officer shot Bumpurs twice with a 12-gauge shotgun.

The shooting of Amadou Diallo occurred on February 4, 1999, when Amadou Diallo, a 23-year-old immigrant from Guinea, was shot and killed by four New York City Police Department plain-clothed officers: Sean Carroll, Richard Murphy, Edward McMellon and Kenneth Boss. The officers fired a combined total of 41 shots, 19 of which struck Diallo, outside his apartment at 1157 Wheeler Avenue in the Soundview section of The Bronx. The four were part of the now-defunct Street Crimes Unit. All four officers were charged with second-degree murder and acquitted at trial in Albany, New York.

Bloomberg

Sean Bell
The Sean Bell shooting incident took place in the New York City borough of Queens, New York, United States, on November 25, 2006, when three men were shot a total of fifty times by a team of both plainclothes and undercover NYPD officers, killing Sean Bell on the morning before his wedding, and severely wounding two of his friends, Trent Benefield and Joseph Guzman.[1] The incident sparked fierce criticism of the police from members of the public and drew comparisons to the 1999 killing of Amadou Diallo.[2] Three of the five detectives involved in the shooting went to trial[3] on charges of first and second-degree manslaughter, first and second-degree assault, and second-degree reckless endangerment, and were found not guilty.[4]

1. Half of the examples occurred when Rudolph Giuliani was mayor

What a surprise!

(sarcasm)

Mayor Giuliani was an asshat, a bad mayor (because he and his associates abused New Yorkers), and he unreasonably took credit for the economic boom that President Clinton's administration succeeded with.

As a New Yorker for 4 decades, I assert forcefully that he was not such a great leader and many of his miscalculations and disorganization resulted in parts of the chaos of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Specifically, Mayor Giuliani made catastrophic decisions before the attacks and during them. He's pulled the big con because all he really did that horrific day was get on TV and assure the nation that he was in control

Believe me, most New Yorkers were not reassured.
