Mamdani Makes Outrageous Anti-Cop Pick For Head Of Public Safety Committee
NYC's beloved COVID Heroes of 2020 find themselves in the chopping block now
Good luck, New York. You’re gonna need it.
What’s that line about ‘when someone tells you who they are, believe them’? If anyone in NYC consoled themselves that Mamdani would be basically running the city as a moderate with a few goofy ideas had better buckle up. That or get outta Dodge while the getting is good.
If you want to know who someone is, look at the company he keeps. And for someone who claims he wants to make NYC better, he’s already showing signs that he’ll take NYC in the other direction.
Maybe you heard that statement about New York not needing any more police, that the current number is ‘sufficient’.
It really doesn’t necessarily follow that he plans to keep all of the cops he has now. This is the upper limit of the number he wants. Can it go lower?
That’s where his indefensible choice of who will head the Public Safety Committee comes into play.
As @DapperDetective explains, the guy he has chosen is very much a ‘defund the police’ advocate who has airy-fairy dreams of eliminating crime by applying an approach that has worked oh-so-well in Seattle, Portland, Baltimore, and Minneapolis.
BREAKING: @ZohranKMamdani appoints Alex Vitale, the radical anti-cop leftist professor who authored the book, “The End of Policing”, to head his community public safety committee.
Vitale believes all cops are inherently racist killers that must be replaced by social workers.
Of course, while he’s throwing around his 10-dollar words and invoking sytemic oppression, racism and all the other usual bugaboos, he conveniently leaves out that the people who feel the brunt of the crime that police will no longer be around to respond to tend to be the very same groups he claims are discriminated against.
Said differently, his soft-on-crime approach will make life more miserable for the vulnerable people on whom the violent criminals are most likely to prey… the people in high-crime neighborhoods.
He can claim that social workers and special programs will solve this problem.
But if past is prologue, this is just another half-baked scheme that will have the opposite of the intended effect.
Of course, it’s never the people who implement such ideas that get crushed under them, is it?
Which is probably a big part of why they keep trying to implement them.
