      Minneapolis is 450K population and you see the protests there. What do you think NYC will look like under the same pressure?

        I don’t think mamadami will be able to control the police well either though. Not sure how they do the city council. I know other cities that have gotten a strong left mayor the business get the city council to strip them of power and give it to a city manager if a mayor tries to take on the cops, or supports striking workers.
