Here we go with the innacurate parroted MAGAt propaganda again. Jesus! You know it IS possible for you MAGAts to actually do a bit of fact checking on your own before you come onto this message board and regurgitating every bit of bullshit misinformation your cult spoon feeds you.
Your post is fake news. Mamdani does not want to replace NYC cops with social workers.
The centerpiece of the projected winner's public safety plan relies on mental health workers responding, before the NYPD, to certain situations involving emotionally disturbed individuals -- like some homeless people on the subways.
Mamdani said he believes the current size of the NYPD is appropriate, and has not called for increasing the number of officers. However, he said he would instead change existing officers' responsibilities, freeing up more of them to do what they signed up for and are trained to do, like respond to shootings, murders and other serious crimes.
With a price tag of $1 billion, the DCS would give civilians some of the responsibilities currently handled by police officers.
