The other day a police captain in Brooklyn called Mamdani “temporary” & “expendable.” For @CityAndStateNY, I examine what this tells us about BLUE POWER and the new mayor’s chances of reining in the NYPD. Link below.

Opinion: Can Mamdani confront the NYPD's 'Blue Power"?

Since the 1960s, the police department and police unions have constituted a powerful, at times implacable, force in city and state politics.
