Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for New York City mayor, has revised his views on the NYPD, previously labeling it as racist and anti-queer. After being elected to the state assembly, he stated that police are critical partners in ensuring public safety. In a recent interview, he denied current beliefs of the NYPD being a threat to public safety and emphasized the importance of police officers focusing on serious crimes. He also attended the home of a slain NYPD officer to pay homage.
"I've made clear over the course of this campaign that the NYPD and police officers, in general, are critical partners in creating public safety for each and every New Yorker."
"No, I do not [believe the NYPD is racist, anti-queer, and a major threat to public safety]. I've made clear over the course of this campaign that the NYPD are critical partners."
