Not many politicians call for defunding the police anymore, and it’s easy to see why: although all of the left’s public policy positions are ultimately harmful for individuals and society as a whole, leftists have mastered the art of propaganda, and can portray many of them, such as government control of massive segments of the industrial and business sector, not as crushing and burdensome statism, but as an exercise in protecting the rights of the little guy. But no amount of demonizing of police forces can convince most people that society will be just fine without any police at all. And now his earlier espousal of this ridiculous and dangerous stance is coming back to bite the man who is most likely to be the next mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani.
After a gunman carrying a large rifle murdered four people in midtown Manhattan on Monday, mayoral hopeful Andrew Cuomo said, “This is a reality check: public safety is literally a matter of life and death.” Referring to the frontrunner in the mayoral race, Zohran Mamdani, Cuomo added, “His positions when it comes to public safety are abhorrent and wholly disconnected from any responsible government approach.” Whether or not Cuomo’s blows will land and chip away at Mamdani’s lead, there is no doubt that the frontrunning darling of the left is vulnerable on this point.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Mamdani, get rid of the police and install sharia law. Better for Muslims. This coming from a person who uses armed guards, 2 faced liar, never ever put a Muslim in an elected position because their comments are not to benefit citizens they are to advance sharia law. Wait and see if he is elected.
OLD GUY says
Mamdani is a two faced liar. He would be the biggest mistake voters could make if they elect him to mayor of NY.
WPM says
Yes defund the police ,when and if he is elected mayor he can do away his mayoral personal police staff that would protect him and his family .He just went to Uganda for his late “wedding” reception that last 3 days of partying.in an enclosed multi . million dollar compound where all guest where protected by masked guards armed to the teeth .He and his family own property in Uganda worth millions ,he gets a rent controlled apartment to live in the district he is elected to represent in Queens .Like his anti-Semitic tweets from less then 5 years ago he explains that his position has changed on the police. That is old history progressive’s get a buy on what that stated publicly less then 5 years ago .Could he be a” good communist” and give his rent controlled apartment to someone on a small fix income in Queens. Or maybe some poor person here on a green card ?He gets paid over 150k for his rarely show up elected job representing the good people of Queens. Why does not his family want to share their own wealth many homes here and aboard like the “good” communist they are? This idiot is running for mayor ,the trouble in a 4 way race with all candidates being idiots is he only needs 30 percent of the vote with communist ,processive idiots ,jihad loves ,anti Semitics ,people living on the dole ,young people who think unicorns will delivery free stuff to their front door paid by government .These are the 30 percent of the population could get him elected.

In the study of Law and Criminology, one learns of the times when there were no police departments with officers guarding the interests of the common public.
Those at the top….landowners, titled, rich…had their own people acting to protect them and their interests. The common man and woman were at the mercy of vandals, pickpockets, burglars, robbers, kidnappers, rapists and murderers.
Then, someone who cared a fig, or a bean, thought up the idea of having a force of young men who could, and would, for a price, stop the rampant crime in the homes and streets. The “Bow Street Runners” were born.in London.
The police force in NYC was one of the first in this country.
dam mani wants …as do all devout mozzies….to control every aspect of the lives of everyone living. This lying hypocrite wants that control of NYC residents and tourists.
The NYPD was created for the safety and protection of the ordinary citizens of that city. dam mani doesn’t want the ordinary citizen to have protection from him and his thugs.
WPM says
He want to make NYC into a third world shithole where the few elite run the average man’s life .While the average man lives like a serf He will bring almost all people lives down to hand to mouth survival .Capitalisms give people a chance to move upward in a standard of living communism be it Cuba ,or China destroys personal freedom and dims and unprotects personal wealth so the government can steal all you earned if you “displease” them. All the financial industry that pays the lion’s share of the taxes will move out of the city. All upper middle class ,with many tradesmen anyone who can leave the unstable ,unsafe ,and if Moslems have their way unfun city will leave. You will have a city of people on the dole ,the working poor, people on fix small retirement income who cannot leave. This will be the base for a race to the bottom if this 33 year old clown gets elected. Will the city become a magnet for more Moslems when the real-estate market crashes like many rust belt cities in Michigan?

Falsafa says
its quite amusing to see Zohran Mamdani living rent free in the minds of you islamaphobe lot! there is nothing anyone of you can do that can prevent his landslide victory in November. Keep spewing your nonsense and misinformation…
somehistory says
You’re so funny. dam mani is dead to me…not “living” anywhere. least of all in my mind.
You just keep on lying to yourself, as you are the only one here believing what you write.
WPM says
What nonsense or misinformation did I post? Point out any errors or out right lies? 33 year old mommy s boy she still supports him ,who never held a job outside of getting elected to represent a part of Queens in the state assemble .If he loses this election you Moslems will blame the Jews I am sure ,they live rent free in every Moslems head in every corner of the world.
James Lincoln says
WPM,
So far, crickets from Falsafa…
WPM says
Thank you the Moslems and progressive morons are quick to call hard truths about Moslems leaders nonsense or misinformation .I posted things that are are back up with basic research .The MSM is getting all tingling up its collective legs Obama style with this pre-fab artificial candidate .He will say anything, contradict himself , promise rainbows, ,lower food prices ,free public transportation , unicorns for the children ,all things he cannot deliver. No explanation on how to pay for these things .His targeting the so called “rich elite ” his family and the people he hangs with are mostly members of the” rich elite” that live in areas that no middle class or upper middle class could afford .Where you live where you spend your money ,who you associate with has less to do with race , color or caste in America it has to do with income .

The idea that non-Muslims have no right to concern themselvs wth our own government is sickening–but this is how Mohammedans think.
WPM says
Moslems blame western society for the ills that befall their own society .Most of the things like tribal infighting , unstable governments ,unstable production of goods ,unstable property rights , street crime, sexual violence being a common threat to all women,are in most Islamic major countries .They export this toxic cultural Moslems are the forever victims never taking responsible for their own problems. This guy comes with a nice young smiling face ,says alot of things to cause class envy ,race hustling stuff ,communist tag line crap the non-Moslem progressives eat this shit up.
