With Zohran Mamdani arriving at slain NYPD Officer Didarul Islam’s home after his prior calls to “defund the police” and his assertion that “the NYPD is racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety,” Islam’s family should have spit in his face (“Zohran Thin Blue lyin’?,” July 31).

What will sleazeball Mamdani not say to get elected?

Can anyone believe anything he says?

Mamdani went to the funeral of the hero Muslim cop and praised the police.

Did he go to the funeral of the Jewish victim, Julia Hyman?

Of course not.

He’s a total bigot, and his praise of the police rings so hollow.

But anything to get votes — right, Zo?

I hope New Yorkers are smart enough to see through Mamdani’s lies about defunding the police.

We just went through this before with all of former Vice President Kamala Harris’ flip-flops, and now we see it happening again.

Even Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has gotten into the act.

She changed and voted in support of funding for Israel’s Iron Dome, which she never did before.

Don’t politicians know we would respect them more if they stuck to what they truly believed in and stopped changing their views just to win an election?

Let’s all pray somehow Mamdani doesn’t win.

While situated in a heavily-secured Uganda compound, “defund the police” advocate Mamdani responded to the Park Avenue shooting with support for the NYPD.

Hopefully New York City voters will not be fooled by his fleeting backing for the NYPD, as he has made his viewpoints clear.

Mamdani does not advocate for law and order.

Thanks for your excellent editorial (“Zohran’s ‘Defund’ Flip,” July 31). Maya Angelou said it best: “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

Mamdani’s sudden change of heart on defunding the police should come as no surprise.

Of all the radical changes he promises, his position on crime is what New Yorkers, including some loyal Democrats, find troubling.

It was the critical issue that allowed Mayor Adams to overcome a field of socialists in the last mayoral election.

The 345 Park Ave. murders provide a timely opportunity for Mamdani to bury his numerous anti-cop posts.

His democratic socialist base will be undeterred by his flip-flop, as he still represents a path to progressive policies.

With this platform change, he will have removed an obstacle in the minds of more moderate voters — if they or anyone else are naive enough to trust him.

Borrowing from my experience in advertising, I have an appropriate nickname for Mamdani: The Smiling Cobra.

He’s always smiling through his lies!

Zohran Mamdani and others who have advocated for defunding the police have no place in public service.

Had there been more police officers in the area around Park Avenue and 52nd Street, the horrific murders of four innocent people could have been prevented.

We need more police on the streets of New York, not less.

We need a greater police presence in our schools, houses of worship, office buildings, theaters, public parks and on our streets.

We need to save our cities and protect our citizens.

As if on cue, a lunatic murdered and injured innocents in Midtown Manhattan on a busy weekday.

Fortunately, the NYPD quickly responded and proceeded with securing the area and evacuating those sheltering in offices.

We all must really pause and consider how this event would have played out with socialist Mamdani as mayor.

Would we really be safe in a city headed by him?

I think the answer is clear.
