Anti-Cop Socialist Poised To Take Control Of Storied Police Force He Once Sought To Tear Down
The candidate for the town hall of the New York Socialist Democratic Town Hall, Zohran Mamdani, who previously made fun of a police officer by crying, would be responsible for chairing the New York Police Service (NYPD) if he is elected.
Mamdani, a self-evaluated socialist, called to finance the NYPD in an article from June 2020 to X (then known as Twitter), saying that he was “racist, anti-Queer and a major threat to public security”. In a post in November 2020, Mamdani replied “Nature heals “to an article from the user on the location of a police officer crying.
In addition, Mamdani wrote in a November 2020 job This “queer liberation means finance the police”.

THE NYPD is notably the largest and one of the oldest municipal police services in the United States, with around 36,000 officers and 19,000 civilian employees. Mamdani said in March that he would plan to keep the New York police commissioner, Jessica Tisch – who was appointed by the Democrat mayor of New York, Eric Adams, in his current role if he is elected mayor.
Adams presents himself in re -election in November as independent against Mamdani, the former Democratic mayor of New York, Andrew Cuomo – who decided to stay in the race as an independence after having lost the Democratic primary against Mamdani – and the republican candidate Curtis Sliwa.
