I read an article in the New York Post on August 24 written by Gabrielle Fahmy entitled, “Zohran Mamdani wants to end all misdemeanor charges [my emphasis]: “‘E-ZPass for criminals.’” If true, this would create a policy for almost complete chaos for the New York City Police Department (NYPD), which was already understaffed by 7,000 officers in March 2024 compared to “40,285 back in 2000.”
The New York City retailers will be damned if Mamdani becomes the next mayor.
The NYPD has been hemorrhaging police officers, with critical response times diminishing significantly since 2022. If a duplicitous Mamdani becomes mayor, this trend will become increasingly worse because of his past adamant and vociferous policies to “defund the police,” which will encourage law enforcement to seek out-of-town jobs in 2026 because of increased stress and disrespect…
