It time to corral the CCRB.
Why should we have now two investigative organizations?
Internal Affairs already does its job very effectively.
Yet an officer should additionally go in entrance of the CCRB if the cop didn’t say “May I” when he arrested somebody.

If you wish to see what form of justice Mamdani’s CCRB would give to police officers who get referred to as earlier than the board, go to YouTube and watch Nazi Judge Roland Freisler giving “justice” to the Germans who tried to kill Adolf Hitler.

If anybody has any doubts about Mamdani’s angle in direction of the police, look no additional than his opinion on who ought to have the ultimate say on critical disciplinary issues: members of the Civilian Complaint Review Board.
The quantity of officers who will hesitate to take motion in a dicey state of affairs will increase.

It is up to all sane New Yorkers to make sure that Mamdani isn’t elected.

The CCRB is staffed by many people with no law-enforcement background or real-world expertise who’re tasked with investigating the actions of police officers.
Imagine being informed that somebody with no expertise in your subject may have the facility to fire you.
Then think about your job requires split-second selections that contain a myriad of elements identified solely to people in your commerce.
The CCRB is flawed and to present it such energy is an asinine concept.

Nothing would please Andrew Cuomo more than to have Sliwa drop out, making it a two-man race — however Cuomo owes it to the voters to resign any “well-heeled” New Yorkers who could also be making an attempt to bribe Sliwa.
At least Zohran Mamdani had the integrity to confess the one factor he and Sliwa have in common when he stated that “New York City is not for sale.”

Sliwa ran his mouth saying he’s “not for sale” and is staying within the race for mayor.
He realistically has no probability of profitable.
If he loves New York City, then he ought to drop out.
Cuomo is actually not best, however anybody is best than Mamdani.
He will destroy town and everybody is aware of it.
If Mamdani wins, companies will flee, people will transfer out and crime will go up.
Sliwa clearly cares about himself and no one else.
