   New York City police officers are leaving the force in growing numbers,   
   with morale sinking ahead of socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral   
   inauguration, according to the New York Post.   
      
   NYPD figures show a 35 per cent rise in officer departures in October,   
   with 245 officers quitting compared to 181 in the same month last year,   
   according to Police Pension Fund data.   
      
   “Morale is down because everyone is concerned about the policies Mamdani   
   wants to put in place,” said Detectives Endowment Association President   
   Scott Munro. “You have a person who is supposed to be running New York   
   City that does not believe in law enforcement. What’s coming out of   
   everyone’s mouth is, ‘We’re in trouble.’”   
      
   The Police Benevolent Association warned that attrition could worsen.   
   “Every single month, we’re losing enough cops to staff an entire   
   precinct,” PBA President Patrick Hendry said. “It will certainly get worse   
   if our city leaders don’t work with us to fix our unsustainable workload,   
   our expired contract and the constant second-guessing that is driving good   
   cops away from the job.”   
   Workforce in numbers   
      
   New hires have helped cover up some of the losses. The NYPD has recruited   
   2,911 new officers this year, the highest in a single year since 2006,   
   with the next class scheduled for December. The department currently has   
   33,745 uniformed officers, down slightly from 33,812 in 2024. Peak   
   staffing was 40,285 in 2000, according to Independent Budget Office data.   
      
   Concerns are mounting that Mamdani’s proposed reforms could further strain   
   the force. The mayor-elect wants to create a Department of Community   
   Safety to dispatch mental health professionals to crisis calls and shift   
   disciplinary power to the Civilian Complaint Review Board.   
      
   “How’s that going to work when the person pulls out a gun or a knife?” a   
   Bronx cop questioned.   
      
   Former and current officers voiced frustration at Mamdani’s past comments   
   calling cops racist and homophobic. “How do you work for somebody who   
   considers you racist and anti-queer and wants to defund the police? Things   
   are hard enough already. If you’re eligible to leave, why would you want   
   to stay in that situation?” said a retired officer.   
      
   A police union consultant warned recruitment could become increasingly   
   difficult. “Nobody wants to be a New York City cop. It’s not worth the   
   money, the stress, the danger, especially working for a mayor who wants to   
   take the department apart,” the source told the New York Post.

   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
