NYC Council Pushes To "Demilitarize" The NYPD

New York City Council members are once again calling to “demilitarize” the NYPD, reviving familiar demands to scale back specialized units and disband the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group (SRG) altogether. In this episode, we break down what demilitarization actually means, why SRG continues to be a political target, and how crowd control, counterterrorism, and public order policing are being intentionally mischaracterized in today’s political climate. We’ll also cover the latest NYC news, including policy decisions that affect public safety, morale inside the NYPD, and the growing disconnect between City Hall rhetoric and real-world policing realities. ️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
