A campaign staffer for Democratic mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani was recently recorded on hidden camera remarking “who gives a s–t” concerning police opinions on the socialist candidate.
Robert Akleh, the citywide canvass manager for the campaign, was caught dismissively stating, “They’re city employees. You get told what to do, shut up. When did you get an opinion?” to an undercover operative for conservative podcaster Steven Crowder.
Scott Munro, president of the Detectives’ Endowment Association, which represents 21,000 active and retired NYPD detectives, warns New Yorkers that they should vote as if their “lives depend on it.”
Attention, New Yorkers.
The warning signs are deafening, and they echo straight from the mouth of the socialist. When a key campaign staffer for Zohran Mamdani is recorded saying, “Who gives a s–t what cops think?” we are provided with a rare insight into the underlying motives of the ‘Sham’dani campaign.
I proudly represent the dedicated men and women who wear the gold shield, pursue criminals, and support victims — and they are now leaving the NYPD at an alarming rate. Morale has been shattered by political agendas, by prosecutors treating offenders as victims, and by politicians like Mamdani who believe we’re naïve enough to accept his hollow apology.
In fact, it’s obvious that Mamdani and his anti-police allies care little for the safety of New Yorkers. They are preoccupied with seeking approval from the radical left, neglecting the reality that detectives are leaving in droves, dealing with excessive caseloads of up to 500 per officer, and that the next victim could be anyone from your neighbor to your child, or even you.
Here’s a reality check for Mamdani and his advisors: those detectives he derides are also voters — so if he shows apathy towards their concerns, how can he be expected to prioritize the sentiments of the average New Yorker?
We have witnessed this scenario unfold before. The DEA cautioned that the anti-police, lenient crime policies endorsed by De Blasio, the City Council, and various district attorneys would trigger an increase in violence – and we were proven right.
Now, Mamdani is promising a sequel that is tenfold worse: a city where ideology supersedes safety and cops are vilified as the enemy.
Let’s not misconstrue this: his mock “apology” to law enforcement is devoid of sincerity and as offensive as his previous comments. He proclaims respect for the NYPD, yet aligns himself with anarchists who openly state their disregard for police opinions.
Should Mamdani take office as mayor, the consequences would include a reduction in police presence, increased crime rates, a surge in victims, and a dismantled NYPD, all while City Hall is filled with radical, anti-police ideologies.
New Yorkers must brace themselves as if their lives depend on it. Because, indeed, they do!
I am confident that Mamdani and his associates are unbothered by that truth as well.
