A New York City led by socialist Zohran Mamdani will mean a two-pronged breakdown of public safety — crime spiraling out of control, and NYPD officers leaving en masse — experts and veteran cops say.
Critics of the Democratic mayoral nominee and frontrunner heading into November’s general election aren’t buying Mamdani’s 11th-hour vow that he won’t “defund the police” or shrink the NYPD’s workforce if elected — a reversal of of his longstanding positions.
Instead, they believe the U-turn during the final weeks of his primary campaign was just a craven political move to score votes with undecided voters.
“The city would be totally unsafe for people who live here,” predicted Scott Munro, president of the NYPD Detectives’ Endowment Association.
“I go to bed and worry about the phone ringing. I’m worried about my members getting killed. I don’t want to plan any funerals,” he added.
“If you put a guy like him in there, our people are going to get hurt, and nobody’s going to want the job. It’s going to put recruitment back five more steps,” Munro said.
NYPD brass are quietly bracing for a potential mass exodus unless Mayor Adams, a Democrat and retired NYPD captain seeking re-election as an independent, or GOP mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa, pull off an upset.
“I’ve had guys call me and say ‘If he wins, I’m quitting,’” a police source said of Mamdani. “It’s just weird that New York City would vote for him. I know he’s not here for the police.”
An NYPD officer planning to soon retire after nearly two decades on the job said the city’s predominantly far-left leadership — especially on the City Council — already favors criminals over cops, and he believes such sentiment would grow worse under Mamdani.

Exactly.
Cordon it off and let them reap what they sowed.
Meh. Let them rot. And let’s not forget the NYPD enforced lockdowns, mask and vaccine mandates. I don’t really want any of those domestic terrorists to be working in my area after leaving NYC. It’s best that those thugs stay there. Enforcing the orders of a dictator is what they’re good at.
Trained to do what? Enforce lockdowns? They’re thugs who should stay in NYC.
Haven’t seen the stats but I believe it’s a safe bet that New York an California have the highest rates of inbreeding it’s why they vote like they do.
This Mandami Shiite Twelver has not been elected yet. And I don’t think he will be. NYC is not that crazy! Or is it?
This Muzz clown is a Twelver same as the stinking Ayatollahs that oppress Iranians. How cute is this!
As with covid masking and lick downs....they will keep their jobs, do whatever it takes to keep their jobs.
Everyone does. German prison guards did the same. Just tge wsy it is.
They mayor pays the chief who pays the grunts. Let the BLM protesters burn the station, break the statues,.....keep your job.
Just another reason to hate government.
