Zohran Mamdani Affirms Wanting to End the NYPD’s Gang Database and Counter-Terrorist Strategic Response Group

MAMDANI: “I wouldn’t say so. I’ll push you on it a little bit for a few reasons. One of the reasons that I made the decision to retain our police commissioner was not just because of what she was delivering in terms of public safety, but also how she’D been able to uproot corruption from the upper echelons of the NYPD. We need a government that is not just efficient, but also excellent, one that can be trusted in the work that it does. Now, my belief in the importance of disbanding the strategic response group, it continues just as strongly as it was during the campaign. The reason for that is I don’t think we need to couple our response to protests with our response to counterterrorism threats. This is a modern conflation that has happened, and it’s one that I’m committed to disbanding.”
