As of 30 minutes ago at the time of posting, the NYPD has detained two young Black men after they refused their demands to show ID without explanation or cause.
The NYPD is skulking through the L train demanding IDs from Black and Latino men, again with zero justified cause or explanation as to why.

If Zohran becomes mayor, can he potentially change anything about how the NYPD does things?
Considering a lot of the NYPD straight up said they'd resign if he became mayor, I think he's got a pretty good chance of bringing change if he really wants to
They said the same thing in my city.
Then they stopped patrolling/enforcing anything.
And surprise surprise, violent crime actually went down.
Now they go around harassing homeless people because they don't have anything else to do.
Oh no how unfortunate.
Wow, they are just giving him free advertising at this point.
They are lying to influence the election
Police? LYING?!
They are
lyingthreatening to influence the election
Hey whats the word for that?
No.... Would people do that? Lie to further their agenda?
Hey. If pigs are gonna throw their weight in behind a good cause, I say we take it! You can't expect them to reform on their first day as socialists (/j I get what you're saying)
Give it to NYPD for threatening us all with a good time.
That’s one way to dispose of all those bad apples
Ny is just full on police state. They need every single cop swapped
The department is administered and governed by the police commissioner, who is appointed by the mayor to what is, nominally, a five year term.
Can Zohran fire the existing commissioner and replace him? Idk what the bureaucracy around that looks like. Entrenched power structures have a way of slow rolling executives thru don't like and ignoring rules they don't want to follow.
A lot of levers of power that worked for a Guliani or an Adams might suddenly stop working assuming Zohran can make it all the way through the general and into office.
as far as i am aware, the mayor is the commander in chief of local police and also determines their budget
If I was mayor of NYC, I would eliminate the budget to all existing departments, then create new departments with a fresh budget. The initial budget is for importing officers and administrators from Europe, sourced from nations that put them through a rigorous training academy that emphasizes deescalation and following laws. No existing personnel from the ranks of America's police would ever be hired.
Far as I am concerned, the police in America are a mafia, not keepers of peace. They have to be rooted out completely, if that is to change.
They own the law though, so no lawful process can oppose them meaningfully.
Im afraid they have takrn all the peaceful options, unless you consider 'be crushed and die by the millions' peaceful, off the fucking table.
The potential is there, but usually winning one election is not enough to actually achieve structural change such as stopping racist police actions.
