Zohran Mamdani, the Marxist-Muslim tapped as the leading candidate to become New York City’s next mayor, does not believe in the police. Instead, he believes in social workers. The police, in turn, do not believe in being handcuffed in their duties and exposed to a high risk of death in a city that no longer allows them to do their jobs. If Mamdani wins, they’re saying, they walk.
In the lead-up to the New York City Democrat mayoral primary, Mamdani was very clear about his desire to rid New York City of the troublesome plague of active policing. Instead, he plans to shift the focus to social workers (which was, as you may recall, one of the promises of the “Defund the Police” movement). Jacobin, the hard left outlet, describes his plan in the most glowing terms:
[His] approach, which emphasizes social services not as a replacement for but a complement to traditional policing, is a departure from the calls to defund or even abolish the police that became prominent on the Left starting in 2020. (Mamdani himself embraced the defund rhetoric at the height of the George Floyd protests but has since rejected it.)
Mamdani’s position is both politically savvy and substantively sensible. Proposals to defund or abolish the police are very unpopular, and understandably so — people reasonably worry that a reduction in police will leave them more vulnerable to violent crimes like theft or assault. Mamdani’s proposal to create a Department of Community Safety addresses the need to address deeper causes of crime like mental health disorders and homelessness without minimizing or dismissing people’s valid concerns about crime. At the same time, while rejecting the rhetorical frames of “defund” or “abolition,” Mamdani has spoken about reducing police overtime and trimming fat

Warriors, come out to play...
True, think back to the great China flu scam and what the PD did for the government.
They can get jobs in Florida. We especially like our Sheriffs in certain areas, and we support law enforcement and police.
NYC will be fine with expensive college degree Social Workers to prevent violent crime......but you can count me out from visiting anytime soon. I suspect that the Financial markets will move along as well.
I GUESS THEY GAVE UP ON BUTTIGIEG?
He said 2 percent increase for anyone a million and above. 7.5 total for businesses. I’m not sure that will cause a big departure. But adding in state and federal on top of this may.
Yeah, the good cops will leave and Mandami will hire his own police force. They will be political enforcers. They will be useless at fighting crime.
Side note: He thinks billionaires have no right to exist, until he becomes one as mayor.
The American voter will not vote for Buttboy
Time to enact legislation to prohibit foreign born nationals from holding public office. They cannot assimilate especially muslims, it is drilled into their heads that sharia law should be law of the land
NY Police officers can easily find a job with ICE for the ones who want a Job.
Ice will be hiring a lot of new agents in the near future.
I hate to break it to folks, but Deep State is totally cool with this.
Take care in what you wish for - your wish may be granted.
Judging from the amount of magical thinking that is going on, wishes that end up being granted may be a very real phenomenon.
And who knows, Zohran Mamdani may be exactly the right person to make socialism work this time.... (as long as magic is being introduced into the mayoral race).
Clearly, he has not studied San Francisco.
It seemed like a fanciful idea at the time. Who knew the movie was a prophecy?
...and its sequel “Escape from L.A.”..............
It’s what they want. Guaranteed power and reelection forever.
re: “We can take out the trash just fine if the police just get out of the way.”
styro_pyro (YTuber) showed off a new +200 Watt focused laser that will burn thru metal at distance ... this opens up a whole lot of possibilities.
