He has an appendix full of accomplishments in NYC, a city he turned around in a decade. His leadership pillars are sound, and I believe him to be a strong leader. Addtionally, (playing devil's advocated) even if he doesn't truly believe in what he wrote about in his book, he does have proven results.

My problem with Rudy is Im scared that he would further the progress this country is heading as a police state...I dont like or really dislike him and against Hillary...I would hold my nose and vote for him.

Like I said, look at what he's done with New York. He drove the crime rate down by 57% but you wouldn't consider NYC a police state/city. He uses accountability instead of sheer numbers. You can increase the number of cops or laws meant to protect citizens, but that doesn't mean that your safety will increase. Instead, he would make sure that those who are put into those positions of authority do their jobs, and if they don't, then he put their feet to the fire and finds out why they aren't doing their job. If it is truly a personnel problem, he fixes that. But if its negligence, then the person can either fix their problems or find a new job.

I've seen charts that show the crime rates in Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles dropping about as much as in New York. Also, the crime rates started dropping in New York before Giuliani was mayor, and have continued under Bloomberg. I think it's mostly the economy.
