The Left's Pleas for Mamdani to Fire NYPD Commissioner Tisch

The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 14

After ICE shot and arrested a 28-year-old man in Marble Hill last week, some DSA members are accusing the NYPD of collaborating with ICE and calling on Mayor Mamdani to fire NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. Ben Feuerherd, Gothamist/WNYC reporter covering public safety and policing, unpacks Mamdani's relationship with Tisch and digs into the Mayor's evolving approach to public safety more broadly.
