\n New York City First Lady Chirlane McCray \u2013 whom Mayor Bill de Blasio has credited for his executive decision to jump on the \u201cdefund the police\u201d bandwagon \u2013 said no cops patrolling the streets would be a \u201cnirvana,\u201d according to a report.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat would be like a nirvana, a utopia that we are nowhere close to getting to,\u201d McCray told Time magazine on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Hizzoner pledged to shift an unspecified amount of the NYPD\u2019s $6 billion budget to \u201cyouth initiatives and social<\/a> services,\u201d just two days after rejecting calls from activists and their City Council allies to slash funding for the city\u2019s 36,000 cops.<\/p>\n

His about-face came amid widespread speculation that McCray plans to enter next year\u2019s race for Brooklyn borough president.<\/p>\n

McCray\u2019s comments during a TIME100 Talks discussion came days after Minneapolis lawmakers pledged to dismantle the city\u2019s beleaguered police force in the aftermath of George Floyd\u2019s death while in custody.<\/p>\n

When asked whether the Big App<\/a>le could also disband its police department, McCray laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re a small city,\u201d she said of Minneapolis. \u201cThey can do things that would not be possible in a large city like New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

De Blasio agreed that such a dramatic move would be unrealistic in a city of about 8.6 million residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cCould the human race evolve to a point where no guardians, no structures are needed? I guess in theory, but I don\u2019t see that in the future we\u2019re going to live the next few generations,\u201d the mayor said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cYou\u2019re going to have police in New York City because it is needed for safety, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t change policing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple said the solution isn\u2019t necessarily to put fewer cops on the streets but to improve their ties to the communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good-policing. It\u2019s not no-policing,\u201d McCray said. \u201cIt\u2019s having a different kind of culture than what we have now that is not so punitive and harsh and abusive.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCray also mentioned the recent arrest of their daughter, Chiara, 25, during a Manhattan protest after she allegedly blocked traffic on Broadway and refused to move.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know that she was out there,\u201d McCray said, adding that she only found out after her daughter was released from jail.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
