his claims, I'll share with you Zohran's own words on the first "Drive By" attack from Baron...watch the whole FOX interview with Zohran, but go to the 5:55 mark for his response to the claim of him wanting to "Defund the Police"...it's anything but that...he wants to make sure that the NYPD can focus on solving crimes, not backfilling social safety net needs.

load officers from dealing with situations that don't require the potential use of force...e.g. mental health issues. btw, other states have done this...e.g. Eugene, Oregon's PD has been doing this for years...to the satisfaction of Police Officers there.

btw, as I've posted previously, even the Charles Koch Foundation has called for "De-Militarizing" Police Forces...fewer SWAT Teams...more Community Involvement.

country from the effects of severe wealth inequality. Mamdani’s focus is on rectifying that problem…

Any additional suggestions on how to do that are welcome.

btw, I was born in NYC and spent my early formative years there…still have extended family ties in and around the city, so I admit to some degree of bias in favor of that powerful dwelling place for 8M+ souls.

most assuredly needs more police. I’ve never lived in NYC, but having visited many times…I don’t like place. Voting in a socialist Dem is probably the stupidest idea in a long time.

part of their communities/boroughs.

btw, do you agree that something needs to be done about Wealth/Income Inequality...or just stay the course?

It’s a mess because the local government has rendered the police powerless. Crime is up.

Wealth/Income inequality is a myth. I’m a firm believer that everyone should pull themselves up by their bootstraps. We all have the same opportunities in this country. I’m also a proponent of everyone paying their fair share. The top 1% pays 90% of taxes. If you think there should be reparations or redistribution of wealth, you’re barking up the wrong tree. I’m a never Trumper capitalist 100%.

...here's a Google AI summary for the question 'In the U.S. does everyone have an equal opportunity to succeed?'
--------------------
AI Overview
No, not everyone in the U.S. has the same opportunity to succeed. While the U.S. is often idealized as the "land of opportunity," significant disparities exist based on factors like race, socioeconomic background, and geographic location. These disparities can create unequal starting points and limit upward mobility for certain groups.
Factors Contributing to Inequality:
Socioeconomic Status:
Children from wealthier families often have access to better education, healthcare, and resources, giving them a significant advantage in life.
Race and Ethnicity:
Historically, racial and ethnic minorities have faced systemic barriers to opportunity, including discrimination in education, employment, and housing.
Geographic Location:
Individuals born and raised in certain regions or neighborhoods may have limited access to quality schools, jobs, and healthcare, impacting their chances of success.
Educational Attainment:
While education is often seen as a pathway to success, disparities exist in access to quality education at all levels, from early childhood to higher education.
Access to Resources:
Unequal access to healthcare, healthy food, transportation, and other essential resources can create significant barriers to success.
Evidence of Inequality:
Wealth Gap:
The gap between the wealthiest and poorest Americans has widened over time, with wealth concentrated in the hands of a few.
Intergenerational Mobility:
Studies show that children from lower-income families are less likely to move up the economic ladder compared to their counterparts from wealthier backgrounds.
Racial Disparities in Education and Earnings:
Black and Hispanic individuals often face lower graduation rates and earn less than their white and Asian counterparts with similar levels of education.
Views on the American Dream:
Surveys indicate that a significant portion of Americans, particularly those from lower-income backgrounds, believe that the American dream is less attainable than it used to be.
Efforts to Address Inequality:
While significant challenges remain, there are ongoing efforts to address these disparities, including:
Affirmative Action:
.
Policies aimed at increasing opportunities for underrepresented groups in education and employment.
Investments in Underserved Communities:
.
Programs focused on improving education, healthcare, and infrastructure in high-poverty areas.
Anti-discrimination Laws:
.
Legislation aimed at protecting individuals from discrimination based on race, gender, religion, and other characteristics.
Educational Reform:
.
Initiatives aimed at improving the quality of education for all students, regardless of background.
Conclusion:
While the ideal of equal opportunity remains a powerful symbol of the United States, the reality is that significant barriers to success persist for many Americans. Addressing these systemic inequalities requires ongoing efforts to level the playing field and ensure that everyone has a fair chance to achieve their potential.

Our kids went to school in one of CA's finest School Districts, thanks in large measure to our community resources...that's not the case for other parts of CA, where those kids are at a serious disadvantage...you know how this works.

Read his tweets on 6/8/2020 and 6/28/2020. And a variety of others.

Spare me the pathos about "nuance." He doubled down on this one, and no one gives two craps about him trying to walk back his nonsense at this point.

creating a new Department of Community Safety which, from his commentary would handle the non-criminal work that police officers have become saddled with…again, not unlike what’s happened in other parts of the country.

I don't give a shit about the massaged message he's weaseling out now. He's a communist scumbag and belongs nowhere in American politics.

where they've found that police officers don't need to respond to every single call...btw, many other cities in the U.S. have taken note, and it's likely that Mamdani has heard of that experience. Again...he's not "Defunding" the PD...he's making it more efficient and effective...what's not to like?

Literally responded and said "no, we want to defund the police."

And comparing N.Y.C. to Eugene, Oregon is about the dumbest thing you could do here.

he's explained his policy for the NYPD...NO DEFUNDING...in fact he's ADDING services that allow Police to focus on CRIMES, not Social Safety Net issues. BTW, Eugene's PD has been in contact with NYPD even before Zohran Mamdani showed up.

Willful Ignorance is not something to be proud of, Jake.

After 5 years, Mamdani has modified his stance on Policing and if elected we’ll see how he handles the Public Safety issue. It’s wrong to not allow him latitude given his rational explanation…if you watch him answer the question.
