Mamdani Names Radical Cop-Hating Professor To 'Community Safety' Post
New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has appointed a university professor who has described police officers as “violence workers” to serve on his community safety committee.
Mamdani announced Monday that Alex Vitale, a sociology professor at Brooklyn College, will advise his incoming administration on community safety matters. Vitale has a long history of disparaging police, calling them the “natural enemy” of the working class, and advocating for defunding law enforcement.
The appointment casts fresh doubt on the mayor-elect's attempt to distance himself from his own past remarks calling for the defunding of the New York Police Department, which he labeled a “racist, anti-queer and a major threat to public safety.”
