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 d

Come on dude! We all knew this offer should have been in the pipeline all along.
They all knew Mamdani was going to win. If they’re not prepared to leave NY NOW Houston should not hire these pollyanas.

Any police officers unfortunate enough to still be stuck in New York City should hightail out while they still can.

The problem with this for smaller police agencies outside NY is that the NYC police make so much, they cannot afford to hire them.

Should not hire anyone who was willing to enforce New York gun laws.

For a job which often requires outdoor work wearing heavy clothing (kevlar?) is the weather of Houston going to be that appealing to someone in NYC?

Well....the good news is you’ll spend a lot of time driving long distances, in your a/c car and donut shops.

The refrigerated air is something to behold.

They should’ve left years ago.

Good luck to all of the good ones.

It will become a Madmani force before you know it.

Ala Detroit.

I don’t know. NYPD officers have had it drilled into them their entire careers that any citizen in possession of a firearm is a criminal. will that be a good fit in Texas?

Houston isn’t peaches and cream these days. Katrina exports is part of the problem from what I have read.

Could all the disgruntled cops in the US relocate to a place where they could enforce the laws of a new country or state Trump could declare? Build it and they will come.

First, they’d have to learn not to call it “House-ton”.

At least their pro football teams can suck as badly as NYC’s. Fuhgeddaboutit!

The NYPD will have no trouble replacing them. A “great replacement” you might say.

Well, it IS a 'life or death' decision. Right?

What justifies losing your life for a system that hates you and won't support your efforts or risks?
