On Wednesday, Mamdani told reporters after the death of a NYPD officer at Midtown Manhattan that he “is not running to save the police” and “is a candidate who is not fixed in time, one who learns and leads one, and is a part of it, and a part of it, as I have grown up, and it means that it means to focus on those who focus on those who focus on.
Mammadani said that his previous call to define the police was excluded from “frustration” on George Floid’s death.
