Many members of the mayor-elect’s Committee on Community Safety have long histories of anti-law-enforcement radicalism.
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani wants to reimagine public safety in New York City. On the campaign trail, he promised to devote more than $1 billion to the “Department of Community Safety,” a new agency that will “tak[e] a public health approach to safety.”
But what will his agenda look like in practice? Late last month, the mayor-elect released the roster of his transition team’s Committee on Community Safety, a 26-person group that will advise him on criminal-justice and related issues. The list contains several activists who are not only openly hostile to law enforcement but also reject the very concept of carceral punishment.
These misspellings are deliberate.
It’s a very old trick to thwart Google searches for/about controversial names. https://t.co/HqDiz8SBzL
