EXCERPT:
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing growing criticism from civil rights leaders over his response to a viral video showing NYPD officers beating a man during a mistaken identity arrest.
The backlash intensified this week after the Rev. Kevin McCall, a prominent Brooklyn clergy leader, said Mamdani had not done enough in the days since the April 14 incident.
“All he’s doing is smiling and not getting results,” McCall said after meeting Monday with NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
McCall said Tisch acknowledged problems with Brooklyn North Narcotics, telling him that “the units have gone rogue,” according to a report by 1010 WINS.
The meeting came after an eight-minute video circulated online showing a pair of plainclothes detectives punching and kicking a man, later identified as Timothy Brown, inside a Brooklyn liquor store last week.
