figured i'd post these clips for context
some clips of former NYC Mayor Ed Koch (who is portrayed as a character in the latter episodes)
Personally was never a fan of this man. Big quality of life crime supporter..totally against the graffiti on the subway (among other things)
this first clip he talks about how he actually wanted to use WOLVES to patrol the subway yards against graffiti writers
the 2nd clip are a montage of some of his campaign commercials in '77 - the same year The Get Down takes place
