    No, I am not confused.

    Wait, hold on… Are you saying that Hamas is a “righteous Palestinian resistance”? Are you fucking insane?

    I can break that sentence down for you further (…)

    Ah… OK, you are fucking insane.

    All police are civilians lmao

    By definition, they are not. They are members of the executive branch of law enforcement.

    She’s the head of the brutal gang

    She’s not. She’s the civilian oversight over the brutal gang. The head of the brutal gang is the Chief of Department. She is not allowed to partake in any actual police operations. CoD is.

    More info here.

    Did you read the whole thing?

    The two EOs he mentions are pointlessly stating the obvious. It’s not the EO that defines responsibilities, it’s the New York City Charter, Section 431, which states:

    § 431. Department; commissioner. a. There shall be a police department the head of which shall be the police commissioner who shall be appointed by the mayor and shall, unless sooner removed, hold office for a term of five years.

    b. Whenever in the judgment of the mayor or the governor the public interests shall so require, the commissioner may be removed from office by either, and shall be ineligible for reappointment thereto.

    c. Whenever a vacancy shall occur in the office of police commissioner, a police commissioner shall be appointed by the mayor within ten days thereafter.

    Which means that Adams and de Blasio were just trying to pad their first EOs to make them look smarter, I guess? Like, they are literally repeating the law.

    Mamdani, instead, stated that his deputy will “supervise and coordinate” the work of the Police Commissioner, which is - seemingly - what you wanted him to do, no?

    So where exactly is the problem, mate?

    Mamdani stated previously that she would be reporting to the Deputy Mayor

    He didn’t, in your own link it says that the deputy will “supervise and coordinate” the Police Department, among a billion other things. Supervision and coordination does not mean that the police “report directly” to the deputy.

    I’m not blind, I’m unimpressed. It’s not a socialist platform, it’s Democratic Socialism. We had actual socialists running multiple cities in America in the past. Wake me up when we get there or to federal influence - until then, I maintain that it’s all theater.

    You fucking people are the worst enemy of pro-human progress. It’s always “all or nothing”, you cannot be happy with small steps towards the betterment of people’s lives, you’ll just bitch and moan unless Marx is elected.
