The New York Daily News reported that police are asking anyone with information to call 800-577-TIPS.<\/p>\n<p>Bruce Blakeman, the Republican executive of Nassau County and a GOP candidate for governor, is calling on New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to remove a member of his transition team who has referred to NYPD officers as killers.<\/p>\n<p>Mamdani, a democratic socialist set to take office on Jan. 1, has assembled a transition team of more than 400 people, including volunteers tasked with advising the incoming administration on policy priorities and key appointments. Among those selected is Kazi Fouzia, a self-described \u201crevolutionary organizer\u201d affiliated with the group Desis Rising Up and Moving, who was appointed to lead Mamdani\u2019s \u201cWorker Justice\u201d transition committee.<\/p>\n<p>Blakeman is insisting that Fouzia be dismissed from her position after a video emerged in which she labeled New York City Police Department officers as \u201ckillers\u201d who target the Bangladeshi community in the city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCalling our police officers \u2014 the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect New Yorkers \u2014 \u2018killers\u2019 is disgusting, dangerous, and completely unacceptable,\u201d Blakeman said in a statement. \u201cMayor-elect Mamdani cannot allow someone who publicly demonizes law enforcement to sit on his transition team. Kazi Fouzia should be fired immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blakeman, who is seeking the Republican nomination to challenge incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul in next year\u2019s election, said Fouzia\u2019s remarks reflect what he called a broader pattern of \u201canti-police rhetoric\u201d by both Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and Hochul.<\/p>\n<p>Blakeman said both Mamdani and Hochul were endorsed by the Working Families Party, which he characterized as a radical organization that has advocated for reducing police funding and weakening law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy empowering a radical anti-police activist and standing shoulder to shoulder with \u2018Defund the Police\u2019 allies, Mamdani and Hochul have made their priorities crystal clear,\u201d Blakeman said.<\/p>\n<p>In the video, Fouzia criticized members of the Bangladeshi community for sharing photos of relatives after they were hired by the NYPD, saying they should not take pride in the appointments because the officers would eventually become \u201ckillers\u201d who \u201cbrutally beat our people,\u201d according to excerpts circulated online.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are you proud for?\u201d Fouzi said in the 2020 video clip. \u201cThat your relative would become a killer one day, or brutally beat our people?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fouzia\u2019s appointment has also drawn criticism from the Anti-Defamation League, which said in a report released last week that Zohran Mamdani\u2019s transition team includes members engaged in antisemitic, anti-Zionist, or anti-Israel activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York City police are investigating how a box containing NYPD uniforms was found abandoned this week near a cemetery in Brooklyn, according to a report.
