After NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch agreed to work in his administration, the mayor-elect has gotten cagey on disbanding the SRG, scrapping the gang database, and giving the CCRB the final say in police discipline.
People in the Zeteo comments section were saying “I’m so glad we finally have a politician who doesn’t dodge the question and answers directly” and I sincerely wonder if we’re watching the same interview. He was asked about tisch, same as here
He was also asked directly if police would stop ICE raids and responded that they wouldn’t be instructed to help them. The weasel word bullshit is maddening, especially when people fall for it
Despite how cool it would be, wouldn’t ordering the NYPD to apprehend ICE agents be a direct act of sedition aka grounds for the military to invade the city?
People are gonna protect their own heads first no matter their politics.
When cops show up between ice and protestors, we know who they’re protecting. LAPD are technically “not assisting” ICE, but they sure as hell when they stand by, hands on holsters, while people are snatched off the streets
