Mayor Zohran Mamdani is telling New Yorkers to take to the streets to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he visits the Big Apple — and it has NYPD cops fuming.
New York’s Finest just put in superhuman duty to keep the five boroughs safe during the FIFA World Cup, the Knicks NBA title, Independence Day and a massive America 250 celebration that brought millions into the city — and now will have to keep their guards up as the lefty mayor fans the flames.
“The mayor’s activist posturing puts police officers on the street in a terrible position,” NYPD Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry said. “Protests during the UN General Assembly are nothing new, but when the mayor of the city is actively calling for demonstrations, violent agitators will assume they have permission to cause as much havoc as possible.
“Those same agitators know that the NYPD’s protest response is already hamstrung by the dangerous lawsuit settlement the city signed over the PBA’s opposition,” Hendry said. “The mayor’s heated rhetoric could be enough to push demonstrations over the edge into chaos.”
Mamdani has been obsessing over Netanyahu since he was on the campaign trail last year, and vowed to have him arrested if he set foot in the city due to a 2024 warrant from the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes in Gaza.
The mayor was forced to backtrack this week by admitting he didn’t have the juice to do it — but urged New Yorkers to protest Netanyahu, which means more work for the NYPD.
“This is a city where, if anyone feels a level of frustration or opposition, protest is something that we will always respect,” he told reporters at City Hall this week.

Tucker hates Jews. He’s been on a tear to prove it for months now. I am sure he supports the mayor on this.
Is the mayor of NYC responsible for the safety of the UN delegates ? LOL
Big time!
Agreed.
Pronto.
And the Clinton crime family.
<< Tucker hates Jews. He’s been on a tear to prove it for months now. I am sure he supports the mayor on this. >>
No doubt. Also no doubt that he supports the IRGC and Gayatollah.
I doubt Mandummy will be held to the same standard.
Is the mayor’s job to lead riots?
Good points.
True.
When you arrest folks, it’s best when they are in their underwear (no clue what’s coming).
Sadly.
If I understand correctly, the NYPD are police just for the city of New York?
Cursory review of the map would show so many other jurisdictions in the New York area. Nassau County, Westchester County, etc. Do any other cities nearby, such as Mt. Vernon or New Rochelle, have their own police departments?
Just thinking, any NYPD would hopefully be welcomed by other nearby police agencies, if people don’t want to relocate outside the New York city area.
I know police anywhere deal with a lot of crap, regardless of their jurisdiction. But just going with the idea that NYPD officers could get a job elsewhere and avoid certain types of crap they endure by being in New York City.
Lock him up for disturbing the peas.
If NY had a conservative governor, that would be a good suggestion.
Excellent point!!
Being a commie is his good points he is an islamic extremist thats wants death to America
Direct the protestors to Grace Mansion. After all, he’s running the city.
Just as a third of Jews voted for Mamdani, I suspect a third of the protesters against Netanyahu will also be Jewish.
