New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has promised to “defund the police”; recently, he has tried to suggest that he didn’t really mean that, but his late disclaimer has convinced no one, any more than his late attempts to present himself as a stout opponent of antisemitism have been believed. It is clear that he is no fan of the police, seeing them as part of a white power structure that oppresses “black and brown” people. He is apparently unaware that it is “black and brown” people who are those most likely to be victimized by criminals. Because of the threat of Mamdani winning, police in New York are retiring before he has a chance to take office, when he might then create an atmosphere more hostile to the police, reflecting his own views. And he could impose a new way to calculate retirement pay less favorable than what the NYPD officers have today.
More on the worry over Mamdani’s hostility to the police can be found here: “NYC cops would flee the job in historic numbers if Zohran Mamdani wins, union leaders predict,” by Tina Moore, New York Post, July 5, 2025:
Police officers are retiring in historic numbers — and the exodus will only accelerate if anti-cop Democratic Mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is elected, union officials warned this week.
As of Monday, 1,555 NYPD officers put in their papers — 48% more than the 1,049 who retired last year, and 65% more than a decade ago, when just 941 turned in their shields, according to NYPD data provided to The Post by the Police Benevolent Association.
Union leaders weren’t aware of any time in history that retirements for the first six months of year were as high, and worry about the disastrous affect the lefty Mamdani could have on NYPD recruitment and retention.
“We can’t afford to have a mayor who ignores the problem or tries to take us backward,” said PBA President Patrick Hendry. “We need a mayor who will speak up for police officers, and treat us and pay us like the professionals we are.”
The PBA hasn’t endorsed a mayoral candidate in this year’s race….
“The Democratic candidate who won is very anti-cop,” said the officer, who has more than 20 years on the job. “He has an extremist attitude and it’s going to scare other cops and they will go out the door.”
The cop has been particularly incensed over “blanket statements” Mandami has made about cops, including advocating for defunding the NYPD, a stance he later reversed during a debate in June.
Mandami has labeled the NYPD “wicked and corrupt” on X, and called for the department to be dismantled….
In thought, word, and deed, Zohran Mamdani has made clear he has little love for the NYPD. For him, they are part of the white establishment — though many police are themselves “black or brown” — whom he clearly believes do not protect, but oppress, those for whom Mamdani presumes to speak. His support for “defunding the police” is a policy that he has now tried to walk back, given the ferocious opposition it aroused, but it is clear that his heart is still with defunding, and should he become mayor, no longer needing to win the votes of police and their supporters, he will likely return to his defunding policies. He will cap overtime pay, institute a partial hiring freeze, end the calculation of retirement pay based only on the highest salary attained in a year by the retiree, and create an atmosphere of hostility to the police that will lower morale of those still serving, and decrease the attractiveness of the occupation to possible new recruits.
New York will become a more dangerous city, especially for its poorer citizens. But why should Zohran Mamdani care? He’ll be living in Gracie Mansion, already planning his next political move — for he has a lean and hungry look, ands already sees the mayoralty as a stepping-stone to higher office — perhaps as a congressman, replacing his friend and helpmeet Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should she run for senator. Or he might even run for senator himself, just like that other democratic socialist, Senator Bernie Sanders. The New York Police be damned; he’s got bigger things than the city and its safety in mind. It’s onward and upward with Zohran Mamdani!
WPM says
The cops will go into the potted flower mod. They will show up at their post ,roll calls ,be where they are supposed to be and do nothing. They will be in uniform clock in clock out ,not get involved or really investigate anything .Fill out all forms ,dot every i ,cross every T ,respond at a very safe speed to every call .criminals will know they are safe from most times from being arrested. The cops .will take more time filling out paperwork after every job .The people who live in” brown” and black areas will suffer the most (they have been encourage to fill the most fake complaint over the last 8 years).The people who voted for this communist will get what they ask for little or no police involvement in their community. The AG James just made it illegal in most cases to have car chasers when criminals refuse to comply to police car stops. Yes defund the police who would want that job in NYC in 2025 when every action you do as an officer will not just get you fired ,but in jail. After Wall street and all the financial industry move out of NYC the true tax base of the city it will become a giant Detroit of the North Eastern United States.

So the mighty bag of pig shit is going to defund the cops eh!?!?!
That oughta get LOTS of votes!
I think you need a new campaign manager there buddy.
Bonnie Loranger says
I agree
Taffy says
Mamdani said that he would reduce the police force and replace them with social workers. His thesis is that social workers will be able to talk to the criminals rather than use force to effect an arrest. In addition to being a communist, this guy is just plain stupid!
carpediadem says
he wont use social workers for his own security. On the other hand, hamas thugs will no doubt be delighted to protect him.
wonder how many police voted in the NY elections?/

The idea that pops into the heads of those who listen to this stupid jerk….and others like him, elmi being one…is that it will save taxpayers’ money.; and they believe the money will stay in their own pockets.
The ‘defund’ the police shouters never actually say that the money will stay in the pockets of those who pay taxes.
The only thing it means is that there will be fewer officers, longer waits for help, and a lot more crime.
Police do more than just arrest people. They respond to accidents and rescue people from burning cars, over-turned vehicles, deliver babies, direct traffic around hazardous situations, give directions, etc.
They don’t get paid onuses for confronting armed killers.
The jerks just use the idea of ***money*** in “defund the cops* to entice voters who pay taxes and believe officers are overpaid, and to cause those who may have been stopped by an officer to feel a measure of revenge.
Intelligent people, if there are any left in NYC, will not listen to his garbage.

And this from FOX News
“NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani’s professor father claimed Hitler inspired by Abraham Lincoln”
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s father, a longtime academic and Ivy League professor, said during a 2022 panel discussion about one of his many books that Adolf Hitler drew his inspiration for the Holocaust from Abraham Lincoln.
The younger Mamdani, a self-proclaimed socialist, has credited his parents with providing him a “privileged upbringing,” one that included frequent discussions on politics and global affairs, according to a New York Times profile on the mayoral candidate and his parents. Mamdani’s mother is an Oscar-nominated filmmaker”
(I’d like to know how that ‘filmmaker’ stuff matters)
During a 2022 panel discussion hosted by the Asia Society, Mamdani’s father, Mahmood, asserted that America was the “genesis of what we call settler-colonialism” around the world.
“With the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln generalized the solution of reservations, they herded American Indians into separate territories,” Mamdani, Columbia’s Herbert Lehman professor of government, said. “For the Nazis, this was the inspiration – Hitler realized two things: one, that genocide is doable. It is possible to do genocide, that’s what Hitler realized. Second thing Hitler realized, is that you don’t have to have a common citizenship.”
The Nazi political project was shared by the Allies, and that political project was to turn Germany into a ‘pure’ nation. A ‘pure’ nation rid of its minorities,” Mamdani said at the Asia Society event. “When the Allies defeated the Nazis and went into Eastern Europe, they began to create ‘pure’ nations. To ethnically cleanse Eastern Europe of Germans – move them back into Germany. One crime doesn’t wipe out another.”
And he freely admits how much he ‘learned from his parents.’

In my opinion the NYPD deserve Mamdani. Them and every other fool who doesnt support Sliwa is brain dead
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Sliwa is somewhat overrated. Last time he ran against Eric Adams & lost. At this point, we need to look at the real picture. Whatever his faults were at the beginning of his term – and there were many – he course-corrected once he saw the effect being a sanctuary city was having on NYC, including having to pay for putting up the refugees in the Roosevelt hotel, among other things. He even got into trouble w/ his own party for speaking out against the policy. Cue to now, and he has decided to run as an independent
NYC is not the place that is gonna elect a Sliwa. The best thing Republicans can do there is what they did in San Francisco in getting behind Daniel Lurie, and get behind Eric Adams. That is the one way a coalition of centrist Dems, Independents and Republicans can keep this man-child from becoming the next Bill de Blassio

I remember that in Austin, TX, when the Leftist city council tried to do things like defunding the police or allowing tent cities, Gov Abbott stepped in & stopped it
Unfortunately in New York, we have Kathy Hochul, who won’t do a thing, just like she didn’t when Alvin Bragg was running wild. I wonder whether the Feds can intervene in such a situation, beyond telling NYC that they won’t be getting any federal money as long as they keep doing what they plan on doing
I’d rather cross that bridge when – and if – we come to it. Until November, people have time to rally behind Mayor Adams, who has at least had the good sense to change policies once he saw for himself how damaging it is to his city. Wish more Dem mayors were like that
Andrew Blackadder says
Methinks most NYC Police Officers would want Curtis as Mayor so why dont they speak out as Curtis is well known among all Cops in the Big Apple and Curtis is the best Apple there is.

If we don’t stop the migration invasion of Islam now, we will all pay a dear price later. Putting people like him in political positions in a huge mistake.

“ZOHRAN MAMDANI”, it’s the first step that his ideology and beliefs that begin the invasion of the US from the inside.
How can the constitution allow someone from a different culture, religion, or base of his belief as a Muslim according to the Koran and sharia law is to kill anyone who doesn’t believe in Islam. The same as ISIS, BOCO HARAM, HAMAS, etcetera. And to run for mayor after 7 yrs and grant him American citizenship.
What is his qualification and what does he know about N.Y? The world invests more than 95% of their money into the NYSE.
If they were to hire someone of principal from a school, it would require more than 20 yrs of experience and a master’s degree
To have American citizenship is not enough to be a candidate
If the candidate is not a migrant from the western countries of Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand/
His parents and his family must be American citizens for at least 100 years. And his loyalty for the USA must come before Muslims, the Koran and sharia law.
To allow this candidate by to qualify for mayor is not a democracy, human rights or freedom of speech and religion.
It’s a crime against the millions of Americans who are living for more than 500 years.
And against the millions of troops who fight and die to keep the USA great and the leader of the world.

Then an occasional cortex that ran in a district she didn’t live in using a bogus address. Then an ethnic Yemenite born in land of Israel calling her self a fakestinians. And more but jobs rising up from local to national level. Look at Britain. If america doesn’t stop these folk soon, america will be no more. Don’t need more survailence on the people, need to deport these that do not belong in a society they hate.

From the article:
“”Why no proper interrogation of what it means for the FBI to have conducted an extensive survey into Awlaki’s private life? (sic)” asked Mamdani on X (formerly Twitter) in 2015.
“How could Awlaki have ever trusted the FBI to not release surveillance, especially if he continued to critique [the] state? Why no further discussion of how Awlaki’s knowledge of surveillance eventually led him to alqaeda? Or what that says about [the] efficacy of surveillanec? (sic),” Mamdani said.”

Walter Sieruk says
Zohran Mamdani with is awful plan to defund the police force is foolishness and folly, and most likely is disingenuous in a sinister Marxist sense.
Nevertheless ,One thing is for sure, which is if the police force is defunded then there in American cities and even towns there a drastic raise in crime especially heinous vile violent murderous crimes, as rapes and murderers along with rapes and the murder of the rapes victims. There would be more kidnappings and then along with that, many times, the torture and murder of the innocent people who had been kidnapped. Also more robberies and vicious violent assaults on peaceful people by hooligans and well as more vile sex assaults.
There would be a sharp and awful increase of wife and child abuse. In addition there would be a terrible large inflation of riots along with the arson, looting and vandalism that is always part of it.
There would even in non-riots be an increase in home and business break- in’s with looting vandalism and physical harm committed against the peaceful people by thugs.
There can be no doubt that many people who now want the police to be defunded would be first to complain if they would become a victims of hooligans.
Therefore, the police definitely be well funded and supported and never defunded.
Furthermore, that Communist ,Mandani , probably with his sinister scheme to defund the police, in might intentionally want to increase crime to ruin New York City in the Marxist hopes that that fantasy to such crime chaos and mayhem would spread to other cities across the United States.
As Karl Marx had written “If we can but weld our souls together, then with contempt shall I fling my glove in the world’s face, then I shall stride through the wreckage a creator !”
