(The Post Millennial)—Veteran law enforcement officials in New York City are raising serious concerns about Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, warning that his past rhetoric against the police and his current proposals could lead to a wave of officer resignations and a sharp decline in public safety.
The socialist candidate recently won the Democratic primary, putting him in a strong position against independent incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and Republican challenger Curtis Sliwa in the upcoming general election. However, not everyone is supportive of a Mamdani-led New York City.
“The city would be totally unsafe for people who live here,” said Scott Munro, president of the NYPD Detectives’ Endowment Association, in a statement to the New York Post. “I go to bed and worry about the phone ringing. I’m worried about my members getting killed. I don’t want to plan any funerals.”
“If you put a guy like him in there, our people are going to get hurt, and nobody’s going to want the job. It’s going to put recruitment back five more steps,” Munro added.
According to the Post, high-ranking NYPD officials are preparing for a potential mass exodus of officers if Mamdani wins the mayoral race.
