Mayor Eric Adams saluted on Thursday a controversial NYPD unit for its response to the Midtown mass shooting this week in what appeared to be a jab at his general election opponent, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, who has vowed to disband the group.
During the Bronx funeral service for fallen Officer Didarul Islam, one of the shooting’s four victims, Hizzoner praised the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group (SRG) for its handling of the incident just a day after Mamdani confirmed that he still plans to disband the unit.
