Zohran to Disband the Counterterrorism Unit in the 9/11 City
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani plans to disband the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group (SRG) . He plans to separate protest-response duties from its counterterrorism functions. The City will shift to a social work-style policing model.
The SRG is a roughly 600-officer specialized NYPD unit formed in 2015 to handle both counterterrorism and large-scale, volatile public demonstrations.
City Hall is considering replacing the unit’s protest-response role with a new civilian unit focused on de-escalation (potentially housed under the Office of Community Safety), while backup NYPD officers would remain nearby to step in for arrests if necessary.
In other words, they want to make it into a social work department of WOKEs.
There Is Hope in Some Opposition
Police brass and Commissioner Jessica Tisch oppose it because it would create a heightened terror environment.
Zohran wants to do it in a city that is a prime terrorist target, but it’s a gift to the communists of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and the radical Islamists in the city. The communist DSA and radical Islamists are shortsighted because they could get blown up with the rest of us. This will make New York City far more dangerous to cater to fanatics and a vision of a world where we don’t need counterterrorism.
Whenever al-Qaeda releases their terror videos, they point to New York City as their prime target. So, there’s that.
Why would anyone in his or her right mind do this in a city that is a target of terrorism? Does Zohran want to finish us off?
This is what happens when you vote in fanatics.
