In short, Mamdani’s “reform” would be yet another reason for every officer to leave the NYPD, whether via retiring as soon as possible or finding a cop job somewhere else.
"Zohran Mamdani just offered fresh proof of his deep anti-cop bigotry with his call to shift key powers to discipline officers to the Civilian Complaint Review Board.
It’s a terrible fix for a problem that doesn’t exist — and one that would lead to worse policing, and so more crime; it would likely even produce a force with far more bad cops.
“What I would do is ensure that the recommendations of the CCRB be understood to be the final voice of the question of accountability,” Mamdani says — without pointing to any actual bad results of the current law, which gives final say to the police commissioner.
Anti-blue prejudice is hard-wired into the board. Nearly half its members are chosen by the bitterly anti-policing City Council and cop-hating Public Advocate Jumaane Williams; the staff leans heavily left, too.
And the CCRB incorporates anonymous tips into its files on individual officers — an open invitation for gangs and other criminal organizations to smear cops who are actually too good at their job.
