DEI didn’t just prove MAGA wrong—it did it on a mission around the moon.

I spoke with the Chakraborty family over the weekend and visited Jabez in the hospital last night. No family should experience such pain.

Jabez has lived with schizophrenia for many years. I have proposed a Department of Community Safety to build a mental health system rooted in prevention, sustained care, and crisis response – and one in which officers are not burdened with responding to such crises alone. 

While we have been building an implementation plan for this, I have instructed my administration to expedite this work.

With regard to this case, an NYPD investigation is underway, and my administration will release body-worn camera footage from first-responding officers tomorrow. Jabez needs mental health care, not criminal prosecution by a District Attorney.
