NYPD officers are warning of a mass exodus from the force if Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor — a move they say would throw New York City into a full-blown public safety disaster.
Multiple officers tell me they’re already preparing for early retirement, and many others are considering walking off the job. “We’re barely holding the line as it is,” one veteran officer said. “If Zohran Mamdani wins, I’m gone — and so are a lot of others. We’re not sticking around to watch this place burn.”
Officers are deeply alarmed by Zohran Mamdani’s agenda, which they say includes plans to defund the police and replace cops with social workers and unarmed “community response” teams. “It’s a fantasy,” one cop told me. “You’re gonna send social workers into violent situations? That’s how people get killed. And the truth is, some of these so-called outreach workers from past programs turned out to be criminals themselves, cutting deals with street hustlers.”
But what really has officers on edge is Zohran Mamdani’s alleged softness on extremist protest groups. “You see all these anarchist groups posing as protesters, smashing up property, starting fights, blocking traffic?” one officer said. “Right now, we sometimes get told to ‘take it easy’ or ‘stand down’ — but with Mandari, it’ll be a permanent order. We’ll be told not to touch them at all. He’ll let them run wild and take over the streets.”
They’re not exaggerating the threat. Cops say they’re constantly working around the clock, only to see repeat offenders walk free. “We build strong cases, we do our jobs — and the system lets them right back out. We’re done,” another officer added. “If Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor, it won’t be just low morale. It’ll be no cops left.”
One officer summed it up like this: “Leeroy, if this guy wins, the whole city’s gonna burn. You’ll get plenty of footage — but there won’t be anyone left to stop it.”
With law enforcement hanging by a thread and radical policies looming, officers say New Yorkers need to wake up fast — because they might not realize what they had until it’s gone.
So? He intends to fire all white Christians anyway. He will install muslim “cops” and install Sharia law.
The guy wants the place to burn, so this fits right in with his plans.
Dumbasses. He already told you he’s going to replace you with social workers. Oy vey.
That’s about as far from an endorsement as you can get!
Coppers quit? No, you won’t. Youstood by while harassing those who didn’t wear masks. You are part of the problem, just like Uvalde coppers stopped parents from saving their own kids.
Yup.
Zohran needs to get on his camel and go home. This isn’t it.
I am. Miss Cleo and I were separated at birth.

If that does happen (and it should), I’m sure Gov. Hochul will send in the state police and the National Guard. That should help keep a lid on street violence.
But investigating and solving crimes?
Fuggetaboutit.
As far as I can tell, most NY’ers hate cops, until they need one.
Obama is probably sending this guy money.
Ah, so you’re one of THOSE people. People who actually read articles before commenting. That’s okay. You’re still welcome here. 😃
He already told them he’s going to replace them with social workers.
There goes tourism. Would be like taking a vacation at Alcatraz.
NYC would be a goner. The lawsuits would bankrupt NYC. It would take years to clean out the place, and it is a sh*thole already.
Indeed….
1970s: Crime and bankruptcy and Bronx fires, man….New York is done. RIP.
1990: Dinkins, man…. New York is done. RIP.
2001: 9/11, man… New York is done. RIP.
2008: Financial crash and Bloomberg, man… New York is done. RIP.
2013: DeBlasio, man…. New York is done. RIP.
2020: COVID, and everyone’s moving out, man… New York is done. RIP.
2025: THIS time we REALLY mean it.
Manhattan is not like Detroit or Baltimore. It is a global center for banking and finance, retailing, world trade, transportation, tourism, real estate, new media, traditional media, advertising, legal services, accountancy, insurance, theater, fashion, and the arts.
I love it that low-information haters who’ve never stepped foot in Manhattan are experts on Manhattan’s demise. Yes, Manhattan has lost the dynamism of the Giuliani years. But it’s hardly on the verge of cratering.
Stop trying to make Detroit happen to Manhattan. It’s not going to happen.
Osama bin laden wanted to takedown NYC from the outside.
Clearly this is a more effective strategy.
I am curious to see how socialism works in a governmental body in which people are free to leave.
Tax every earner dry until there are no earners left to tax.
This is what he wants.
