From Breitbart: Domestic violence survivors and those who work or advocate in the field are blasting socialist New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s past comments against sending police on domestic dispute calls.
The candidate’s comments surfaced in a “Immigrantly” podcast in July 2020, posted recently on the Washington Free Beacon’s YouTube account:
Mamdani says during the “cross-cultural conversations” segment:
Police do not create safety… there are so many responsibilities we’ve given to police that, frankly, should have nothing to do with their departments… if somebody is jaywalking, if somebody is surviving, going through domestic violence — there are so many different, different situations that would be far better handled by people trained to deal with those specific situations, as opposed to an individual with a gun.

In 2020, Mamdani was calling to defund the police.

Now he claims that’s just a fear-mongering conspiracy by MAGA billionaires, and says he will not defund the police.
Don’t believe the MAGA billionaires funding Andrew Cuomo’s fear-driven campaign: I will not defund the police.
I will let them do their actual jobs by investing in social and mental health workers, and pursuing evidence-based policies that deliver safety. pic.twitter.com/vcSOKuZYDA
