“A person experiencing a mental health episode does not always have to be served first or exclusively by a police officer.” Mamdani said. “It is important for us to have all of the options available."

[Texas Eagle]

I have a better idea, Zoltan. Send the Mayor in first.

Hahahahaha

GOOD and HARD, I am loving it!

[Seruzawa]

This perp has already been seeing shrinks. Shrinks make people more violent, not less. It helps their bottom line.

Zoltan visited the knifeman and throws his officers under the bus.

Mamdani is the one with Mental Heath issues

[Texas Eagle]

Don’t bother Zoltan with details!

[silverleaf]

Because surely unlike a cop, a social worker would not yell at the guy repeatedly to “ drop the knife” as his wife screams

How stressful for the mental case

[TexasFreeper2009]

I bet the commie 100% supported the murder of Ashli Babbitt though!

[Texas Eagle]

Yep

[Leaning Right]

Somebody has to rein Mamdani in. New York City’s Police Commissioner, Jessica Tisch, has a good reputation. Perhaps it’s time for her to publicly speak up.

[hinckley buzzard]

She probably likes her job and wants to keep it, so, no way.

No doubt. He probably approved of the shooting of that poor lady in Minnedishu acouple of years who was shot by a Somali cop as she approached their vehicle to tell them she heard what sounded like someone being attacked behind her house.

Commie goat boy, get rid of your security team.
