Mamdani Doubles Down on D.C.S.

On Episode 50 of the Executive Perspective, Ron and Rob delve into the recently released Body Worn Camera footage of a police-involved shooting in Queens. The incident involved a male who charged at the officers with a knife. Mayor Mamdani is using this incident to justify his Department of Community Safety (DCS) stance, arguing that police should not respond to individuals experiencing mental crises. They will explore the potential dangers faced by social workers in the absence of police presence.

The discussion will also cover the city’s responses to the recent “Code Blue” in New York City, including the resulting deaths and the challenges posed by the snowstorm and the subsequent cleanup efforts. Another pressing issue is the impact of the recent reduction in overtime mandated by the city on the attrition rate that the NYPD is already grappling with.
