"How anyone who wears a badge stands beside this mayor, much less risks their life for him, is beyond me. Doesn't matter where you live. Treating the police with such disrespect is wrong."
"Officers, like all city workers, have been out in a historic blizzard, keeping New Yorkers safe and cars moving. Treat them with respect. If anyone's catching a snowball, it's me."
"We cannot condemn strongly enough the recent disgraceful and dangerous attacks on NYPD Police Officers while responding to a 911 call in Washington Square Park. The behavior of the people throwing the snowballs, many of whom are believed to be NYU students, was reckless and unlawful, and put the lives and safety of others at risk."
NYPD officers responding to a call about a disorderly group in Washington Square Park were struck with snowballs, with some sustaining multiple facial lacerations. Video evidence documented the incident on social media. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani appeared to minimize the attack, stating officers should be treated with respect while offering to catch snowballs himself. NFL reporter Ed Werder criticized Mamdani's response, questioning how officers could work for such a mayor. The Sergeants Benevolent Association condemned the attacks as assault rather than harmless activity, noting many perpetrators were believed to be NYU students. No arrests were made at the time of reporting.
