He kept Jessica Tisch on. This is his NYPD.

Counterterorrism is a nice term for supporting genocide. But Zohran decided the NYPD chief. He is fully responsible for this.

I wasn't voicing support for the NYPD, merely noting that as an organization it actually exists far beyond the confines of its city of origin with funding, ties, and "responsibilities" to entities that the Mayor has little to no control over.

Yes, he could theoretically change all of that.

That would also very likely end with cops doing some seriously gang-like shit since, you know, that's what they are.

Politics is messy, especially when dealing with outright evil.

Zohran Mamdani was elected on November 4, 2025. He officially took office as mayor on January 1, 2026.

You are right, but they just did the arrests though my post should have mentioned that

Unless they have continued to do this after he took office, he is not fully responsible for this. In fact, for THIS, he is not at all responsible. He MIGHT be responsible for not holding the people who are responsible to account, which is not the same as being "fully responsible" for something that happened before he was in office.

Yes they just arrested the people yesterday.
