New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is looking to get the Big Apple on a tighter budget, and seems to see cuts to the New York Police Department (NYPD) as a way of getting the city back on track.
Mamdani's predecessor, Mayor Eric Adams, proposed at the end of his term that the city hire 5,000 more NYPD officers. However, upon entering office, Mamdani moved to cancel all orders signed by Adams following his Sept. 26, 2024, indictment. This included the proposed NYPD personnel increase.
Under Adams' plan, the NYPD was set to add 300 officers in July 2026, growing to 2,500 in July 2027 and eventually increasing to 5,000 additional officers annually in July 2028. The Adams plan allowed the NYPD to deploy approximately 40,000 officers to the streets, while Mamdani's plan caps the number closer to its current level of around 35,000.
Additionally, in the preliminary FY 2027 budget, it notes the importance of "significantly reducing current vacancies," which could include reductions in funding for the NYPD based on unfilled positions. The Gothamist, a New York-based publication, noted that Mamdani's budget proposes a $22 million decrease in the NYPD's $6.4 billion budget next year.

Higher property taxes, more crimes?!? Where do I sign up??
Mamdani supports public employee unions.
Perhaps the police union should go on strike. How could Mamdani object?
Let’s see what happens then.
New Yorkers ain’t seen nothing yet!
Maybe Mamdani could deputize all the bums and druggies who will be riding around in his free buses. Make ‘em pitch in a little.
I wonder what would happen if all or most of New York’s finest left for greener and more appreciative pastures?
That’s already a (volunteer) thing in New York City. Notice how close the car and the uniform looks to NYPD issue.
I would expect Mamdani to quietly send a few bucks their way, if he hasn’t already.
Cheaper to keep the new 5000 and fire the oldest 5000.
Remember those Chinese police stations? Get them to move it to NYC.
And set up folding tables on the sidewalks with chocolate chip cookies baked for charity donations to newly hired social workers who can replace the harsh police officers on patrol.
Subway rider: “I’m going to shoot the first ten people here and slash the rest.
Social worker on phone to him: “Get in touch with your true feelings. I’ll be down there with some mindfulness leaflets in a few minutes.”

The new TV series in homage to ChiPS will have the guy leap out of the Muslim Patrol car at 75 mph and jump through the woman’s car, grab the wheel, saving the Muslim woman in a burqua, helping her out of the car to be pulled up with him to a Muslim patrol helicopter overhead just before the anti-Muslim bomb welded to the car engine blows up a city block.
LOL!
But, accurate.
Remember those Chinese police stations?
ICE will arrest and deport them ,LOL
Well 200+ cops are retiring from Nassau PD so that’s where 200 NYPD cops will wind up. And they’ll be welcomed
Hah.
ICE getting the Chinese cops out.
“You can get out of here. Without your four fried chickens, without your dry white toast, and without Matt “Guitar” Murphy!”
“And your egg rolls and your Szechuan Beef and Broccoli.”
Mamdani's budget proposes a $22 million decrease in the NYPD's $6.4 billion budget next year.
So he is taking 5,000 critical law enforcement officers off the NYC streets to save 0.34% of the NYC budget.
This is like watching someone try to run de Blasio's White Hut-era playbook, but without any money.
Zoltar the Mooseslime Magician is going to run out of mirrors right quick.
So much of what AI is going to eliminate in the next 24 months -- paralegals, CSRs, accounting and marketing nebbishes -- will provide the tipping point to crash CRE with NYC as ground zero, and Gruesome will be all-in on that gamble and probably spear Zoltar as an example of 'inefficient leadership' as a facile grind against his Marxism, while talking up his bullshit brand of 'efficient' Marxism.
Much like what Cankles tried this week in Europe with her laughably talking-pointed-head quelle dommage against The White Hospice unfettered illegal immigration ... but then the Based Czech worked Cankles over like Trevor Berbick beating up a washed-up Ali.
Let the city rot. It’s what it deserves because of of what the voters wanted.
Crime will rise because of this. New York is becoming hell.
NYC is going to be worst than Fort Apache:The Bronx. Far. Far. Worse.
This seems like a good idea. 😳
