    Wasn’t Mamdani saying the whole campaign that he promised to keep the NYPD budget in return for the NYPD refocusing on violent crime and the NYPD leadership staying? If he pissed off the entire NYPD things would probably be more expensive.

      It doesn’t matter what he said, he’s kind of at the mercy of (shitty) police unions.

      Just look at how they responded when de Blasio dared to level even the most tepid criticism.
