Zohran Mamdani has come under intense scrutiny from both Republicans and Democrats for his comments regarding law enforcement and public safety. His statement about the New York Police Department suggests an operational bias against poor Black and Brown individuals. Mamdani's past comments also rejected police involvement in domestic violence situations, raising eyebrows among critics. Dan Turrentine expressed strong disapproval of Mamdani's views, calling for the Democratic Party to distance itself from him, highlighting concerns for public safety and the challenges faced by police officers in the city.
Mamdani argued that if one looks at the history of the New York Police Department, 'you can see that we have invested in a system that functions in many ways to punish poor Black and Brown people.'
Turrentine expressed hope that the Democratic Party condemns Mamdani, stating, 'I'm almost speechless. Like, that is so enraging.'
Turrentine emphasized the dangers police face, noting, 'New York City police officers put themselves in such harm's way. This city is full of crazy people on subways.'
