[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who doesn't think NYC needs LEO is weird. I applaud him for not sticking up for Israel who are currently murderers but at the same time, NYC will become a nightmare if he truly seeks to defund police.  In some level there has to be in this day and age, law enforcement.  You need to stem the corruption which is not the same as clearing out everything and having nothing at all. [/quote]

I’d have to do more research on his policy because I don’t eat Fox News sized snack turds, but if he’s got a plan to tear it down and rebuild it in a way that makes sense I think he’d have widespread support.

Here is more in his plan, and as is typical, the MAGAs here are lying.  More often that not you can take that to the bank.

“He, too, said he would consider keeping Ms. Tisch as police commissioner and praised some of her policies, including addressing concerns about corruption and reducing the size of the department’s communications staff.

His proposed Department of Community Safety would have a budget of roughly $1 billion, comprising $600 million for existing programs and $450 million in new funding. It would be run by a commissioner-level position, and Mr. Mamdani would eliminate the deputy mayor for public safety, a role that Mayor Eric Adams revived in 2022.

He would expand programs like the Behavioral Health Emergency Assistance Response Division, or B-Heard, which sends teams of mental health professionals, rather than the police, to the scenes of certain emergencies. He also wants to deploy “mental health navigators” in neighborhoods and outreach teams at 100 subway stations to connect people with services.

Mr. Mamdani said that he would pay for the additional costs related to the new agency — and for his broader affordability proposals — by raising taxes on wealthy residents and large corporations and through a better use of existing city funds and stronger enforcement of tax policy.
Alana Sivin, a director at the Vera Institute of Justice, a criminal justice nonprofit, said that Mr. Mamdani’s plan embraced the “full range of tools” that are needed to improve public safety and “successful precedent in other parts of the country,” including the Community Safety Department in Albuquerque, N.M., which has responded to 100,000 calls for service.”
