He kept Jessica Tisch on. This is his NYPD.

It is worth noting the NYPD has a global task force and hires itself out as a PMC in certain "protective, counterterrorism" scenarios. They represent an entrenched power bloc that, as things currently exist, simply must be dealt with.

Those last four words may be taken in a number of ways by a number of people.

    Counterterorrism is a nice term for supporting genocide. But Zohran decided the NYPD chief. He is fully responsible for this.

    I wasn't voicing support for the NYPD, merely noting that as an organization it actually exists far beyond the confines of its city of origin with funding, ties, and "responsibilities" to entities that the Mayor has little to no control over.

    Yes, he could theoretically change all of that.

    That would also very likely end with cops doing some seriously gang-like shit since, you know, that's what they are.

    Politics is messy, especially when dealing with outright evil.

    Unless they have continued to do this after he took office, he is not fully responsible for this. In fact, for THIS, he is not at all responsible. He MIGHT be responsible for not holding the people who are responsible to account, which is not the same as being "fully responsible" for something that happened before he was in office.
