Q: Your promise to disband [NYPD's Strategic Response Group]... after its officers arrested, more than 100 pro-Palestinian protesters. When can New Yorkers expect a concrete timeline there? MAMDANI: That is something that we’re going to be sharing with New Yorkers over the coming weeks. It is something that I committed to in my campaign, and I’ve been clear about not just in the past few weeks, but frankly, over the past 10 months, a commitment to disband the strategic response group, which again is a commitment to decouple our police response to the exercising of First Amendment activities and to terroristic threats.
