(New York, New York) – Sid Rosenberg is standing behind NYPD Captain James Wilson after the officer was reassigned following a viral video criticizing Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Rosenberg called Wilson a New York hero and blasted what he sees as a double standard against police. His argument is that city leaders are allowed to attack cops constantly, but officers are punished the moment they speak honestly about what is happening.
Wilson’s supporters say his comments reflect the frustration of many officers who feel abandoned by City Hall. They believe the department is sending a chilling message to rank-and-file cops: stay quiet, even when politicians trash you.
Critics say the issue is not whether Wilson has an opinion. They say uniformed officers cannot make political statements while working an active protest.
