Black Agenda Radio · Mamdani Reappoints NYPD Commissioner Who Refused to Punish Killer Cops

Samy Feliz is an organizer with Justice Committee, a grassroots organization dedicated to building a movement against police violence and systemic racism in New York City and empowering low-income Latinx and other people of color to address these issues. Samy Feliz is also the brother of Allan Feliz, who was killed by an NYPD officer in 2019. That officer did not face legal or departmental charges. Samy Feliz joins us from New York City to discuss the implications of Zohran Mamdani's reappointment of Jessica Tisch as NYPD commissioner.
