Cops Fume as Mamdani Urges New Yorkers to Protest Netanyahu Mayor Zohran Mamdani is calling on New Yorkers to take to the streets to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his upcoming visit — and NYPD officers are not pleased. After admitting he lacks the authority to arrest Netanyahu, Mamdani told reporters: “This is a city where, if anyone feels a level of frustration or opposition, protest is something that we will always respect.” Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry warned the mayor’s rhetoric could push things too far. “When the mayor of the city is actively calling for demonstrations, violent agitators will assume they have permission to cause as much havoc as possible,” he said. “The mayor’s heated rhetoric could be enough to push demonstrations over the edge into chaos.” (Video: AI) Officers just finished a grueling stretch of long shifts covering the World Cup, Knicks championship, and major July 4th events. One Manhattan cop asked, “Was he serious?” Another said Mamdani should “be governing the city and trying to keep the peace, instead of inciting a riot with his rhetoric.” NYPD Detectives Endowment Association President Scott Munro added: “Mayor Mamdani still acts like he’s leading a protest movement instead of running the largest city in America.”
