Mamdani vs NYPD

[Anonymous]

The mayor-elect of NYC called the NYPD racist, homophobic, and said “when the boot of the NYPD is on your neck, it’s been laced by the IDF.”

Mamdani did an apology tour, but does any reasonable person believe his true feelings have suddenly changed?

There are almost 34,000 NYPD officers in NYC. That’s almost 10,000 more than all of the law enforcement officers in Virginia. Ask yourself, if your boss said that about you, would you look for another job?

Recruiting by the NYPD is up so far in 2025, but it’s just keeping up with retirements. At 34,000 officers the NYPD is still understaffed by 5,000 officers. If a Mamdani Administration accelerates retirements and resignations, while depressing the recruiting rate, public safety will suffer and crime in NYC will rise rapidly.

What do you think NYC will look like at the end of 2026?

There are plenty of racist types in law enforcement. Why do they all need to be treated as demigods?

I would have the good sense to know my boss wasn't talking about me, but a few co workers whom I have seen do terrible things against our code of conduct.

Now do Trump.

You do Trump. Pick one of the 100+ topics to comment in. It’s a target rich environment.

This is about the metropolitan hub of the U.S., and what might happen to public safety there.

The NYPD is the frontline of the National Security apparatus in New York City. An understaffed, weaker NYPD is a security risk that makes the city significantly more vulnerable to attack.

Lol Mamdani causing resignations in NYPD is such a lie oh my gosh.

"Trump won so I am quitting my job and moving to Canada"

Ok thank you! Overblown hysteria. NYPD hiring/firings/resignations depands on sipply demand based on wages and the demographics of the workforce.

Not sure why you're posting about a NYC issue on a DC-based board. But as far as your question goes, politicians say a lot of things to get elected. When in office, they tend to be more pragmatic. Mamdani knows as well as anyone else that public safety is a top issue in NYC. He is planning to ask the NYC Police Commissioner, Jessica Tisch, to stay on and Gov. Hochul is confident that Tisch will accept. If I were a NYC resident, I would be encouraged by that since she has a generally good reputation.

Mamdani pivoted away from defund the police, racists, homophobes, IDF boot on the neck to an “apology” in 2025 to get elected. Why should the NYPD and their union trust him now?

Few people give a shit who cops and cop unions trust.

Not sure why this is so important to you.

Until they have an emergency and call 911.

The mayor's security detail handled by the NYPD. This guy's arrogance is only outstripped by his stupidity.

Elections have consequences.

“You have a person who is supposed to be running New York City that does not believe in law enforcement,” said Munro, a police officer for more than three decades. “What’s coming out of everyone’s mouth is, ‘We’re in trouble.'”

“Their platform is real, real out there in public safety. Do away with prisons and the cops are abolished and cops are bad. So, he aligns with that.”

“US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is using Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s victory to recruit police officers to leave the New York Police Department.”

“If you’re an NYC resident or a great NYPD officer unhappy with the results of tonight’s Mayoral election, let me be the first to invite you into the welcoming arms of Volusia County,” Sheriff Mike Chitwood wrote on Facebook Tuesday night.

Are former NYC cops going to be part of Mamdani's security detail?
