Electing Zohran Mamdani NYC mayor would spur huge cop exodus, rising crime straight out of ‘Gotham City’: cops
NY Post ^ | 6/28/25 | Tina Moore, Rich Calder

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.

“This guy thinks the entire NYPD is racist,” the veteran said.

Sounds bad. This Zoltron guy was on the city council. There must be a voting record somewhere.

This guy makes Adams look like J. Edgar Hoover.

Has Trump engineered a dirty trick to force New Yorkers to vote “Mamdani” (actual name) because he (Trump) is angry with the city?

Something is going on.

As George Burns said in “Oh God, You Devil:” Do It. If these fools in New York want to elect an Islamist Marxist, let them have what they want, inevitably what they cannot get: free everything. It will be wonderful for all other states that value common sense and more reps in the House. You reap what you sow has never been more true.

I still say this is good for our side. Makes Dems look bad as they side with evil or split their party.

Worst would be a handsome but moderate, articulate one like Mayor John Lindsay for the Dems now. People would say “He’s nice, he’s reasonable, he’s sensible, caring and I like him.”

He’s what the GOP needs today.

He was a Republican with support of the Liberal Party in a three way race.

Sounds good

His extremist radical agenda would be a gift for a loss, yes, even in NYC.

Let it play

Dems can’t have it both ways. Trashing the police and then begging for them to hurry on 911 calls.

People in law enforcement are often thinking about “why am I risking my body and my life and possibly leaving my wife and children with a dead father, to protect narcissistic, lying, cheating, porn addicted, drug using, disdainful trash called New Yorkers who spit in my face? Let them overthrow the Dems and Socialists and then I’ll consider coming back.”


Back to TV:
“In Blue Bloods season 12, episode 4, titled “True Blue,” Officer Rachel Witten, played by Lauren Patten, resigns from the police force. One of the reasons for her resignation was a difficult encounter where she was spat at by a homeless woman after attempting to help her. This incident, along with other stressful encounters, contributed to her decision to leave.”

It’s frightening to see a city commit suicide.

Before you rebuild a city, it must be destroyed.
