Florida’s Governor says police officers in the Big Apple should abandon the city after Zohran Mamdani won Tuesday’s mayoral election.
“The $5k recruitment bonus we give to new officers will be utilized by a number of these NYPD officers. There is no reason to risk your life serving when the mayor hates you and believes your department shouldn’t even exist,” Gov. Ron DeSantis posted to social media.
DeSantis was responding to another poster , who said police officers were “putting in their papers” to leave after the Democrat defeated independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
DeSantis has framed the police recruitment program as a way to appeal to “mistreated” officers with an inability to “take that environment” in New York and other Democratic stronghold
