Overview
- Captain James G. Wilson was recorded Saturday night at an anti-ICE protest outside Wyckoff Medical Center in Bushwick criticizing Mayor Zohran Mamdani and calling all Democrats a "waste of human race."
- The NYPD reassigned Wilson after the clip posted by the account @untilfreedom spread online.
- He was moved from his role as executive officer of the 94th Precinct in Brooklyn to the Communications Division, which includes the 911 call center in the Bronx.
- The department says a disciplinary process is underway under rules that bar on-duty officers from publicly sharing views about a political party or candidate.
- Wilson was on duty as police managed protests over ICE’s detention of Chidozie Wilson Okeke, a case that put protest policing and officer neutrality under fresh scrutiny.
