[quote=Anonymous][quote=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?[/quote]

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.
