    Not exactly related (although it’s possible the feds will recruit them or they’ll do it of their own accord), but how far could any socialist (even a demsoc) take their agenda with the NYPD threatening them? They’re better funded than many armies and they’re full of chuds, I can’t imagine how easy it would be for them to kill the mayor or allow a shooter to get him or his family. I almost feel like he’ll need his own security guards, which seems unrealistic given the magnitude of the force against him.

    I remember wondering about this during the George Floyd protests in 2020 because some mayors, who may have been somewhat sympathetic otherwise, seemed trapped by very threatening looking pigs who were always flanking them during speeches or appearances. Seems like a huge problem to deal when it comes to making this country even slightly better at a local level, lmao

        If you purge you have to replace them though right? Otherwise its just a a cut. Who will he get in there?

          You should try to get communists in there it worked for Czechoslovakia post WW2, the partisans supplanted the police and couped the liberals. It’s even easier to vet people now just dig into their social media

              Tell them they will have the full backing of the NYPD and the city to go stop-and-frisk, harass, and physically intimidate suspiciously wealthy-looking people walking around Wall Street.

              This won’t happen, but theoretically you would work with left-wing groups to get the word out while maintaining plausible deniability in public. You would also need to purge the higher ranks first and replace them with people you already have selected and allow them time to get the infrastructure in place to make the selection process ideologically sound. But yeah that’s a multi year process and the entire power of the political machine would be pushing against you.

        He specifically said he will not be reducing officer headcount. Will need to wait for his second term at the soonest for that.

          I’m not reducing officer headcount, but I will be replacing them with an equal amount of the People’s Red Army lenin-sure

          But yeah if he does nothing to the pigs he’s just another hot air lib that will accomplish little

            Hold up though, just like you said there is plenty he can do besides reduce officer headcount. Cut overtime, cut equipment funding, “special assignments” that aren’t on the street, close the international offices, no increase in headcount, no increase, or possibly a decrease in overall budget, etc…

            These things are all “defunding the police” and directing resources to actually useful city services, but he’s doing it the slow and kinda centeristy way (NYC centrist, so between liberal and socialist) so that NYC lib voters don’t have a reason to lose their minds since he’s clearly said “you will have the same number of officers in the department”. Ofc national media will smear all they want but he can just say that over and over again to the people he’s actually trying to get votes from and grind out his victory. I

            'm more worried about the assassination than the rat fucking (not that I’d be surprised if they pull that off either)

      Seeing as how the NYPD violently rioted over minor reforms, that’s not as hypothetical as you might think.

        Deputy Mayor Fritz Alexander called the police on the police. Acting Police Commissioner Ray Kelly dispatched a phalanx of officers to City Hall for crowd control.

        That was when Steisel started to get scared.

        “I was getting concerned they’re gonna storm the building,” Steisel said. “I mean, these fucking guys are crazy.”

        Same fear that drove the ban of police unions in the UK, alongside the impending revolutionary atmosphere.

      I seem to recall in 2020 the NYPD doxxed and otherwise harassed (targeted for arrest?) the mayors daughter due to her participation in BLM and I guess in protest of the mayor being insufficiently hostile to black people or something. <- imprecise memory I didn’t fact check
