Mamdani Recants Past Anti-NYPD Posts After Meeting with Family of Officer Slain in NYC Shooting

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY, JUL 29 – Zohran Mamdani, Democratic mayoral nominee, distanced himself from his 2020 anti-police posts after meeting slain NYPD officer's family following a deadly Midtown Manhattan shooting.

  • On July 29, 2025, a lone gunman opened fire in a Midtown Manhattan office building, killing four people including NYPD Officer Didarul Islam before killing himself.
  • Amid debates over policing reform, Zohran Mamdani, a New York City socialist mayoral candidate, previously called to dismantle the NYPD and criticized it for issues related to race, LGBTQ+ concerns, and public safety in June 2020.
  • Wednesday, Mamdani distanced himself from years-old anti-police messages as out of step with his vision, pledging not to defund the NYPD and to create mental health response units.
  • Following the shooting, several prominent Democrats shifted to support first responders, with Shamsul Haque backing Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo offering `support` for Islam’s family.
  • New York City residents express significant concern about daily activities as Republicans plan to tie Democrats to Mamdani’s anti-police agenda.
