Can Precision Policing Reduce Gun Violence? Evidence from “Gang Takedowns” in New York City - "During the last decade, while national homicide rates have remained flat, New York City has experienced a second great crime decline, with gun violence declining by more than 50 percent since 2011. In this paper, we investigate one potential explanation for this dramatic and unexpected improvement in public safety—the New York Police Department's shift to a more surgical form of “precision policing,” in which law enforcement focuses resources on a small number of individuals who are thought to be the primary drivers of violence. We study New York City's campaign of “gang takedowns” in which suspected members of criminal gangs were arrested in highly coordinated raids and prosecuted on conspiracy charges. We show that gun violence in and around public housing communities fell by approximately one third in the first year after a gang takedown. Our estimates imply that gang takedowns explain nearly one quarter of the decline in gun violence in New York City's public housing communities over the last eight years."
Peter Moskos on X - "Abolishing the NYPD gang database is not only an insanely bad idea as advertised. It's worse than that. The law (Int 0798-2024) doesn't define "gang." It prohibits the NYPD from establishing any future database of "criminal groups." Think about that."

‘Scrawny’ Mamdani mocked by rivals over bench press failure - "Zohran Mamdani has been mocked by his New York mayoral rivals over his bench press attempt on the campaign trail. Eric Adams, the incumbent mayor, goaded Mr Mamdani after the Democratic candidate required help from a spotter while attempting two 135-pound lifts... Mr Adams, who is trailing Mr Mandani in the polls, shared a video of himself also taking part in the same exercise at the event, during which he managed considerably more lifts than Mr Mamdani"
Eric Adams on X - "64 vs. 33. A lifetime of hard work vs. a silver spoon. The results speak for themselves. The weight of the job is too heavy for “Mamscrawny.” The only thing he can lift is your taxes."
Austin Padgett (LudwigNeverMises) on X - "“Socialism, Islam and Palestine are the third rails of politics”
Everyone wants to pretend they are stepping on third rails when they are just being retarded. Victimhood is the new currency. In a world of oppressed and oppressor groups every attack must be connected to a power game. The only reason someone would reject you for what you were saying was if you were right and their interests are threatened. In reality most of the time people reject you for being retarded. And being retarded, like socialism, is its own kind of threat."

Left wingers cannot imagine that non-left wingers don't judge people by the content of their character and not the colour of their skin, so they work backwards from their pre-determined conclusion, then throw around deluded notions of hypocrisy. Not least because that is what they themselves do, just in the reverse direction of what they pretend others do
Mamdani Did All the Things the Establishment Hates. He Won Anyway. : r/politics - "And he raised half the money Cuomo did. It seems like old assumptions about fundraising should be questioned, considering that anyone can get worldwide attention for free on the Internet."
We need to end money in politics, because the candidate with the bigger pocketbook wins
Zohran Kwame Mamdani on X - "In 2017, NYC ordered a review of public works constituting "symbols of hate" for potential removal. But a statue of Columbus remains in Astoria, in defiance of the values of humanity, empathy & justice that we stand for. It has to go. Sign the petition:"
Matt Walsh on X - "Mamdani became a US citizen in 2018. Two years later he was already working to tear down monuments to our historical icons. The incredible arrogance and entitlement of this whiney, ungrateful brat."
AG on X - "Let me explain why it’s not a meh story: Mamdani and the people defending him explicitly support racial preferences as part of an admissions process for colleges. He also supports getting rid of objective testing measures for specialized schools in NYC because progressives think those tests currently result in too many Asian students getting in. They want to structure the entire education system around admissions standards that aim for prioritizing racial diversity over merit/ability. Their justification for this is that they think racial minorities have structural disadvantages that don’t allow them to fairly compete. Yet here the same guy tried to use the system he and his supporters advocate for to get an admissions edge. That’s despite him clearly not being part of the disadvantaged race he was claiming and actually coming from an extremely privileged background. It speaks to both his character and the issue with the system he openly advocates for… While at the same time showing his supporters don’t mind that system being cheated at the expense of the racial minority students they claim to advocate on behalf."
Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry on X - "The irony is that Will is expressing white privilege here. Any African-American knows exactly what Mamdani was trying to do, which was to steal a spot that’s been set aside for them as reparations for injustices committed against *their* ancestors. If Will actually cared about black people, that would make him angry. But, subconsciously, as a white American, he thinks that these spots are *his* to hand out to whomever he wants as a form of noblesse oblige. Mamdani’s also a "good", politically useful BIPOC, so what’s the problem? Meanwhile he senses that this scandal threatens "his" ability to hand out privileges at his discretion to minorities as a form of political patronage, which is why he lashes out at anger and makes up lies."
Libs of TikTok on X - "Elizabeth Warren says Mamdani’s plan is the “Democratic Message” So just to be clear, this is the official democratic message:
- Defund the police
- Release all the criminals from prison
- Disarm law abiding citizens
- seize your property
- free child m*tiIation
- ban ICE"

He claims nationalism is the same as colonialism. So given that non-Western countries have more nationalism than Western ones nowadays...
Thread by @wesyang on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Ta-Nahesi Coates’s father is a former Black Panther who runs a Black Nationalist publishing house that issued a new edition of a book called “the Jewish Onslaught” right around the time that his son published the Message. Zohrab Mamdani’s father is a post colonial scholar at Columbia so committed to Fanonist politics that he wrote sympathetically about Uganda’s ethnic cleansing of Indians in spite of the fact that himself was ethnically cleansed. (He did note that the expulsion was an economic catastrophe for Uganda.) Both men raised sons to seek and gain power in mainstream US institutions in order to break the old hegemonies and institute new ones. They have both done well in their ambitions. Mamdani’s effortless co-optation of the abundance crowd, shows an evolution in strategy and tactics that may or may not in the long one prove to be as thorough going as the revision of communist, practice successfully undertaken by the CCP"
Sam E. Antar on X - "BREAKING: We exposed how George Soros converts tax-deductible donations into political campaigns through a $34 million pipeline where Tides and Working Families Party coordinate to support candidates like Zohran Mamdani Our investigation uncovered a $2+ billion tax-exempt network that systematically converted charitable donations into political power. The numbers tell the story...
THE MAMDANI CONNECTION: This network manufactured his "grassroots" campaign while maintaining the illusion of independent charitable work. The infrastructure that created his political rise operates continuously, creating candidates nationwide.
WHY IT MATTERS: If charitable tax deductions can be systematically converted into political coordination through concealed control structures, it undermines the entire tax-exempt system. Donors get tax breaks, candidates get "grassroots" cover, taxpayers subsidize political operations.
The mathematics don't lie. When organizations engage in $34M+ flows while concealing key relationships and sending money backward through the system, these patterns warrant investigation."
Exclusive | Qatar bankrolled years worth of films by Zohran Mamdani's mom - "Hamas-backing Qatar has bankrolled film and stage projects by socialist Zohran Mamdani’s Israel-bashing movie-director mom — and one of its royals is now pushing her son’s mayoral bid... “They are buying somebody who is willing to be bought and at the time of their choosing they will ask for what they want,” warned Danielle Pletka, a foreign policy expert at the American Enterprise Institute think tank, of Nair’s Qatar ties. “They need a rainbow coalition of people who will support the ideology they promote: sometimes it will be Islamism, sometimes it will be antisemitism, sometimes it will be anti-Israel.” The Post found extensive ties between the Queens assemblyman’s mom and the Qatari elite... Qatar’s sharia-inspired social policies, which bar women from marrying or holding government roles without a male guardian’s permission and which can punish homosexuality with torture or even death, are at odds with the progressive images Nair and Mamdani have cultivated. The filmmaker has presented herself a voice for the “marginalized,” while her son has pledged to make New York an “LGBTQIA+ sanctuary city.” Thousands of migrant workers died building facilities for the World Cup in Qatar’s 125-degree temperatures amid conditions human rights activists described as “modern day slavery.” But in an interview with the website Qatar Happening during the soccer tournament and the ‘Monsoon Wedding’ musical’s run, Nair had only praise for the regime and her royal patron... Nair has boycotted the Haifa International Film Festival over Israeli policies she says “privilege one religion over another.” But Qatar bans non-Muslims from practicing in public, and the State Department has warned the country is “pursuing a number of actions which will ultimately lead to the eradication” of its Bah’aii religious minority. Despite these well-documented abuses, as recently as November 2024, Nair was photographed attending a high-profile exhibit opening at the Qatar National Museum. There is no record of her ever speaking out on the regime’s notoriously deplorable human rights record... Critics have called Qatar “America’s ultimate ‘frenemy,’” as it provides support to anti-U.S. Islamist organizations while simultaneously hosting an American airbase. Jonathan Schanzer, executive director of the nonprofit Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, called it “both arsonist and firefighter”: backing destabilizing organizations like Hamas and the Taliban, then offering itself as a mediator with the groups on behalf of the West. Schanzer said it was concerning only “one degree of separation” could exist between the country’s ruling elite the mayor of America’s biggest city, given how the Qataris have used their country’s vast wealth to bribe ex-New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez and figures in the European Parliament... The assemblyman maintained he had never traveled to Qatar, nor received direct financial assistance from the country’s institutions. But his campaign declined to answer whether he had received such assistance from his mother, or whether he had had contact with the sheikha, and would not directly condemn the Al-Thani family’s rule—only attesting to “his belief in universal human rights and the freedom to advocate for justice everywhere.”"
