I quote: “He was notorious for racist and violent behavior and was eventually charged for authorizing and participating in police brutality.”

Those don’t seem to be ‘biogted comments’ to my eye. Those are statements of fact. He had a reputation for being a racist (note the difference between saying he ‘was notorious’ for racist behavior and saying ‘he was a racist’). In 1979 he was charged in US District Court with having committed or condoned acts of police brutality. Read about it here. The charges were eventually dropped, but to say that he had a reputation for being violent and racist is to state fact.

Also, if you want to dispel ignorance about Mayor Rizzo, you should point or link to the facts you want the author and others to learn. Please don’t leave us hanging.

You should learn the facts before you make ignorant bigoted comments about Mayor Rizzo. You wouldn’t have the guts to critiicize John F. (300 murders and counting) Street.
