As New York City grapples with the aftermath of a deadly mass shooting that claimed the lives of four people, including an NYPD officer, Zohran Mamdani, the radical Democrat mayoral nominee, is facing renewed scrutiny over his controversial pledge to “disband” a key police unit.
The pledge, made during his mayoral campaign, has drawn sharp criticism, especially in light of the tragic events that unfolded in Midtown Manhattan on Monday.
Mamdani, currently in Uganda celebrating his wedding, has been vocal in the past about his support for defunding the police.
As a candidate for mayor, he has softened his anti-police rhetoric.
However, his previous pledge to dismantle the New York Police Department’s (NYPD) Strategic Response Group (SRG) remains a point of contention.
The SRG is a specialized unit within the NYPD responsible for responding to civil disorders, riots, and significant public safety events.
