His campaign was hurt by remarks he made in March 2005 concerning the Amadou Diallo shooting. Ferrer, who’d marched in protest against the shooting when it occurred and had gotten arrested, expressed his belief to the New York City Police Department Sergeants Benevolent Association that the incident was a “tragedy,” but “not a crime.” He was strongly criticized by Diallo’s family and others for these remarks, and he slid in popularity polls, especially among African-Americans. These comments, although taken out of context, were never properly addressed and just followed the campaign the entire way. The comments and ensuing events also caused a long-time campaign consultant, from Chicago, and a new spokesperson, from Texas, to leave the campaign due to a power struggle over what to do. The new campaign team was made up of advisors from Ferrer’s primary consulting firm, Global Strategy Group.
