“Zohran Mamdani” by Centre Culturel Cao Dai, Public Domain MarkNew York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is preparing to disband the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group. This is the unit that responds to major events like riots and terrorism attacks.What is the point of doing this? What is the reason?It defies logic to dismantle such a group, but we have given up trying to use logic on anything that Mamdani does.BREAKING: Democrat Muslim NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is reportedly set to announce plans to DISBAND the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group.This department handles counterterrorism operations and controls mass protests. pic.twitter.com/1b9Gnzmaz8— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) November 12, 2026Notice below how the liberal media describes the NYPD group as controversial, not the decision to disband it.From Politico:Mamdani planning announcement to disband controversial NYPD unitNew York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is expected to unveil a plan for disbanding the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group as early as this week, according to three people with knowledge of the long-awaited announcement.In dissolving the counterterrorism and protest-response unit, the democratic socialist mayor would fulfill a key 2025 campaign pledge with the aim of mollifying an increasingly restive base.Mamdani’s plan is expected to involve nixing the SRG and potentially replacing it with a new civilian unit that would take the lead on responding to protests, said one of the people who spoke to POLITICO and, like others, was granted anonymity to discuss the announcement. Under the plan — which had not been finalized as of Thursday morning — the new civilian unit would be supported by NYPD officers, who would assemble nearby and could step in to conduct arrests if needed, said the person, noting that the civilian entity’s main goal would be deescalation.The person said City Hall has been considering placing the civilian protest unit under the umbrella of Mamdani’s signature Office of Community Safety, which he launched earlier this year.A City Hall spokesperson did not respond to specific questions about the plan but noted more generally that Mamdani has planned to make good on his campaign pledge since becoming mayor.So this is all about appeasing his base?And he is replacing this group with a civilian unit? None of this makes sense.The post WHAT COULD GO WRONG? Zohran Mamdani Preparing to Disband NYPD Unit That Responds to Riots and Terrorism appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
