A campaign staffer for Democratic mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani was recently caught on hidden camera saying “who gives a s–t” what cops think about the socialist candidate.
“They’re city employees. You get told what to do, shut up. When did you get an opinion?” Robert Akleh, the citywide canvass manager for the campaign sniffed to an “undercover” operative for conservative podcaster Steven Crowder.
Scott Munro, the president of the Detectives’ Endowment Association representing 21,000 active and retired NYPD Detectives tells The Post that New Yorkers better vote like their “lives depend on it.”
New Yorkers, pay attention.
The alarm bells are ringing and now everyone can hear it right from the socialist’s mouth. When a top campaign staffer for Zohran Mamdani is caught on video saying, “Who gives a s–t what cops think?” we’re getting just a glimpse behind the mask of the ‘Sham’dani campaign.
I have the honor of representing the men and women who proudly wear the gold shield, who chase down killers, who comfort victims — and who are now leaving the NYPD in droves. Morale has been crushed by politics, by prosecutors who treat criminals like victims, and by politicians like Mamdani who must think we’re fools to believe his fake apology.
In fact, it’s clear that Mamdani and his anti-police friends don’t give a s–t about New Yorkers or their safety. They’re too busy auditioning for applause from the radical left and marching in the streets to care that detectives are marching to file for retirement, that case loads can be 500 per detective, and that the next victim could be your neighbor, your child, or you.
And here’s a reality check for Mamdani and his so-called advisors: those detectives he mocks are also voting constituents — so if he doesn’t care what they think, how can he possibly care what every other New Yorker thinks?
We’ve seen this movie before. The DEA warned that the anti-police, soft-on-crime policies of De Blasio, the City Council, and district attorneys would lead to skyrocketing violence — and we were right.
Now Mamdani is promising a sequel 10 times worse: a city where ideology trumps safety and cops are treated as the enemy.
Let’s be clear: his sham of an “apology” to police is meaningless and just as insulting as his disgusting comments about us. Out of one side of his mouth, he says he respects the NYPD. Out of the other, he surrounds himself with anarchists who brag they don’t care what cops think.
If Mamdani becomes mayor there will be fewer cops. More crime. More victims. A dismantled and defunded NYPD. And a City Hall filled with radical, dangerous cop-haters.
New Yorkers better hold on like their lives depend on it. Because they do!
I have no doubt that Mamdani and his comrades don’t give a s–t about that either.
