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.

Meanwhile yesterday a Jew was stabbed in Manhattan because of the Jew hatred coming out of that prick Mamdani. The night before he posted about how yesterday was a Jewish holiday, he did that on purpose to tell his supporters that Jews will be out yesterday going to temple that is why he said it in the first place
They should all quit just walk out
2) This story isn't plan B, it's was the original plan all along. That business about arresting Bibi was part of the set up.
Once a community organizer, always a community organizer. 😠
If the cops did this right and had any solidarity they would just turn their backs and walk away.
Fence the sewer off and treat it like Mexico, it is just as foreign and hostile.
Grifters gotta grift. See obama.
Send in the National Guards. Insurrection charges and arrest the mayor for inciting a riot.
Fence it off and sell tickets to people who want to stand outside and watch just like at the zoo.
NYC has always been really proud that the UN is located there. Isn’t Mamdani disrespecting the United Nations and what it supposedly stands for? What if a Republican, let’s say Trump, called for people to react that way when someone is speaking at the UN? The media would be going insane.
He's a commie.
Criminal and commie 'elites' birth communism in fool hardy countries - they often work together. Why? Because criminals and elites BOTH hate the police for stopping their 'fun'.
This is proof Zohran Mamdani's a commie - walks and quacks like one.
If the protests turn violent, I wonder if they will subject Mamdani to the same standards that were applied to Trump for the Jan 6 protest.
> They should all quit just walk out <
Younger NYPD cops need to be looking for employment elsewhere. There’s got to be better places to work. Older ones just have to hang in until retirement.
Side story: A while back I was watching a YouTube video of a reporter interviewing two young NYPD cops. Both cops sounded mentally challenged (seriously).
So who knows what’s going on there.
some doofus once said ‘elections have consequences’
At this point PDJT has everyyth9ng he needs to declare NYC under a state of Insurrection, if they do “go into the streets.” The Texas national guard will straighten it out quickly.
Mamdami shackled and perp walked into Rikers Island?
I can hardly wait to see the action.
The short hairs are that Mamdami is failing, and he is desperate for a distraction.
BUahahahahahahaha!
Where's Tucker? He used to live in NYC. Tucker should take to the streets there.
Cause trouble for everyone going the UN , I like it ,LOL
Furious NYC Police Officers Come Forward Against Mamdani
