Critics express significant concerns about Zohran Mamdani's proposal to defund the police and rely on social workers for handling low-level incidents. Mamdani suggests that social workers could manage situations involving individuals in crisis. However, former NYPD officer Mike Sapraicone believes this approach is flawed and highlights past failures of similar initiatives. He emphasizes the need for law enforcement in dangerously unpredictable situations and warns that social workers lack the necessary training to manage such cases.
On paper, a lot of the stuff he says look reasonable, but it's not proven results. The things he wants to do with the Department of Community Safety, I mean, these things have been tried in small towns...and they've been nothing but disastrous.
He has no concept of what he's allowed to do and what he can't do, and he's feeding to a group of these younger people who probably never voted before who are now starting to say, 'Hey he's right about some of the things he's saying', and not caring how it can be done or if it can be done.
Social workers do a great job, but they're not prepared to handle and not trained to handle what law enforcement does.
