NYPD Captain Transferred After Appearing to Call Mamdani "Expendable" and "an Embarrassment" in Video From Protest
The captain was reassigned after video showed him criticizing Mayor Zohran Mamdani on duty, prompting an internal NYPD disciplinary investigation.
- On Monday, the NYPD transferred Captain James Wilson to the Bronx Communications Division after a video surfaced showing him in uniform criticizing Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Democrats while on duty.
- Some 200 protesters gathered Saturday night outside Wyckoff Heights Medical Center to demonstrate against the detention of Chidozie Wilson Okeke by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
- Calling the mayor "an embarrassment" and "total nonsense," Wilson insisted Mamdani was "not my mayor" and labeled Democrats a "waste of human race," violating department policy prohibiting political speech while on duty.
- Wilson, a 20-year veteran recently promoted to captain in April, now faces an ongoing departmental disciplinary investigation for the remarks made while serving as executive officer of Brooklyn's 94th Precinct.
- Mayor Mamdani denied involvement in the transfer decision despite tensions over his past anti-police rhetoric, while retired NYPD Chief of Detectives Bob Boyce criticized Wilson for using his uniform to express political views.
