Houston Police union tries to recruit NYPD cops ‘disgusted’ with Mamdani win

A police union in Houston is attempting to recruit New York City cops “disgusted” with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s victory.

The Houston Police Officers’ Union posted a graphic on Facebook late Tuesday asking, “NYPD, ARE YOU DISGUSTED WITH THE ELECTION OF ZOHRAN MAMDANI?”

“JOIN US!” the graphic continues. “THE HOUSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT IS HIRING POLICE OFFICERS!”

Mamdani, a democratic socialist, secured New York City’s top job on Tuesday after defeating political heavyweight and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The New York Assembly member had already bested Cuomo in the Democratic primary back in June, resulting in new nationwide attention toward him.

Mamdani in October apologized to the New York City Police Department (NYPD) for previous critiques directed toward the police force, in which he referred to them as “racist,” “wicked” and “corrupt.”

“Absolutely, I’ll apologize to police officers right here, because this is the apology that I’ve been sharing with many rank-and-file officers,” Mamdani told Fox News’s Martha MacCallum when questioned if he would make a public apology to the officers.

“And I apologize because of the fact that I’m looking to work with these officers. And I know that these officers, these men and women who serve in the NYPD, they put their lives on the line every single day,” he added.

The campaign arm of House Republicans, meanwhile, is launching a battleground ad blitz linking Democrats to Mamdani, who has faced scrutiny from the right over his democratic socialist affiliation.

In a press release, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) said that it put out a paid ad campaign across 49 “battleground districts” in the wake of Mamdani’s victory emphasizing “the Democrat Party’s full embrace of socialism.”

The Hill has reached out to the Mamdani campaign for comment.

Out of curiosity, I looked it up. The NYC police unions have endorsed candidates in the past. But they did not endorse any candidate in the 2025 mayoral race. They remained neutral.

Looks to me like they had a chance to make a difference, and passed.

The applications should have been in the pipeline all along. A mass exodus for effect.

What you wish for and what you get are two different things. Dollars to Donuts (no pun intended) that a great many NYPD officers vote dim: just like in Houston, Dallas, and Austin down here. Just because they are LEOs does not mean they are even right of center much less conservative.

Love it!! Somebody is really on the ball at HPD! But Houston will probably have to figure out a way that officers leaving NYC don't leave their pensions behind. For people with 20 years of service, that is a big set of cuffs.

Blame women. Everything that is gone wrong with his country, the slow moral decline, it can all be traced back to the 19th amendment. Repeal the 19th amendment now!

Interesting.

It seems to me that NYC Police are in danger of being sacrificed on the Alter of suicided Career Criminal and Drug Dealer, George Floyd.

The best option is to be a Police Officer NOT in New York City.

I saw recently that in Burlington, VT they do not have enough city cops. That they are paying state police troopers to come in and walk a beat in town. That is because these DUMB A$$E$$ in Burlington VOTED to Defund to Police a few years back. Now, their college town has turned into a drug infested crime ridden cess pool.

HA HA !

They also brought in a bunch of Somoli immigrants. Who now control the local drug trade. The good thing they regularly kill each other for the control of that trade. Which makes the MURDER/violent crime rate go up in VT. Even though the remainder of the state in very rural. There are still more cows in VT than humans.

I am reminded of years ago when Ted Kennedy was rerunning for Senator.
A news man asked a voter who he was voting for and the voter said “Ted Kennedy!”
News man asks “Why?”
Voter has no reply and asks his wife “Why are we voting for Ted Kennedy?”
Wife:” Because we always have!”

Red New Yorkers and red Californians could turn Vermont red again.
