Far from being a minor personnel choice, it is instead a political alignment with the world’s largest and most militarized police state whose record of surveillance, racial profiling, repression, and state violence threatens and criminalizes our communities. Mamdani’s decision to retain Tisch effectively endorses the NYPD’s ongoing collaboration with the Israeli occupation at a time when Gaza and the rest of Palestine are facing a genocide. It undermines the commitments made to the Palestinian community in New York City and to our families living under occupation abroad. At home, Tisch’s tenure has revived Broken Windows–style policing that has long terrorized Black and Brown New Yorkers. Since Eric Adams took office and appointed Tisch as NYPD Commissioner, stops of Black and Brown New Yorkers have tripled when compared to the previous administration.
