Kevin McCall, a prominent Brooklyn clergy leader, said Mamdani had not done enough in the days since the April 14 incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll he\u2019s doing is smiling and not getting results,\u201d McCall said after meeting Monday with NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Brown told CBS he\u2019s grateful to have survived the violent arrest. <span class=\"credit\">Instagram\/@sinistratm<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>McCall said Tisch acknowledged problems with Brooklyn North Narcotics, telling him that \u201cthe units have gone rogue,\u201d according to a report by 1010 WINS.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting came after an eight-minute video circulated online showing a pair of plainclothes\u00a0detectives punching and kicking a man, later identified as Timothy Brown, inside a Brooklyn liquor store last week.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> <span class=\"credit\">Paul Martinka for NY Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Police later acknowledged Brown was not the suspect they were seeking, and charges against him were dropped.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the incident, Tisch disbanded the narcotics team involved and reassigned at least eight of its officers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Brooklyn North Narcotics attempt to arrest a suspect who resists arrest inside a liquor store on Hoyt and Baltic street in Brooklyn, New York, on April 14, 2026.

Officers should never treat a person this way. The NYPD is conducting a full investigation into this incident,\u201d Hizzoner wrote on X last week.<\/p>\n<p>Other activists also criticized Mamdani\u2019s restrained response.<\/p>\n<p>Hawk Newsome, co-founder of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, said the video reflected broader problems in the NYPD\u2019s narcotics units and called for accountability.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> <span class=\"credit\">Instagram\/@sinistratm<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, said the video brought back \u201cd\u00e9j\u00e0 vu\u201d from her own experience with police violence.<\/p>\n<p>Mamdani addressed the case Monday night at an unrelated event with WNYC, saying his administration had a \u201ctapestry of responses\u201d to the video. <\/p>\n<p>But he largely described steps Tisch had already announced earlier in the day, including reassigning the officers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn that video, it was incredibly disturbing, but also unacceptable,\u201d Mamdani said. \u201cThere were the immediate actions that we took to reassign these officers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mamdani has long had a tense relationship with the NYPD, but the backlash over this case has put him under a new kind of pressure from both activists and police critics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have heard from multiple constituents that this is part of something larger, something that troubles them,\u201d Mamdani said. \u201cThat means we in city government need to look deeper than just this one case, and as we reflect on that, we will share with New Yorkers the steps we are going to take.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
