Mamdani Is Going After NYC Cops
February 18, 2026 – 4:44 pm

When I wrote this in the morning I was joking: “Hey, maybe the city could simply defund all the cops, fire departments, and sanitation”. But, really, you just had to know that Mamdani would want to get rid of cops
 
The NYPD is already down at least 16% from their budget for officers, which is also well below what they really need. I’m betting Zohran’s security detail will not see cuts.

The NYPD is one tough outfit to go against, perhaps with only Chicago cops being tighter-knit.

If they bail, watch for those with money to hire private security in droves.  And they will be former NYPD.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani — one of the most heavily protected politicians in the U.S. — rumored to have a personal NYPD detail of up to 60 officers between him and his wife, costing taxpayers $10–12 million per year, plus tons of overtime and vehicles.

And yet, he plans to defund the NYPD in 2027.
