"The 40-second video, posted by the activist account Until Freedom, shows Wilson standing among officers near Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, facing protesters and declaring, “Not my mayor,” while calling Mamdani “an embarrassment” and “total nonsense.” He then appears to escalate, saying “all Democrats... a waste of human race.” The footage spread quickly online and triggered concern inside the department, according to Patch."
"The NYPD confirmed that “Captain James Wilson was transferred on May 4 to the Communications Division within the 911 Call Center in the Bronx” and said his “disciplinary process is ongoing.” The department stressed that officers are barred from publicly expressing views about a political party while they are on duty, a rule that now sits squarely at the center of Wilson's case, according to CBS New York."
"The confrontation unfolded during a tense night outside Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, where federal immigration agents had brought a detainee for treatment and roughly 200 protesters gathered in response. Clashes followed, with scuffles and multiple arrests, and raised broader questions about how NYPD operations intersect with federal immigration enforcement, as reported by The Guardian."
A 40-second video shows an NYPD captain in uniform at a Bushwick protest near Wyckoff Heights Medical Center. The captain faces protesters and says, “Not my mayor,” while calling Mayor Zohran Mamdani an embarrassment and describing his statements as total nonsense. He then escalates to broad criticism of Democrats, saying they are a waste of the human race. The NYPD reassigned Capt. James G. Wilson from the 94th Precinct executive officer role to the Communications Division within the 911 Call Center in the Bronx. The department placed him under internal disciplinary review because officers are barred from publicly expressing political views while on duty. The protest involved federal immigration agents bringing a detainee for treatment, with about 200 protesters and subsequent clashes and arrests.
