First lady of New York City Chirlane McCray said Tuesday that it would be like "nirvana" if society didn't need police officers to keep the peace, but then also highlighted the need for law enforcement in larger, urban cities. “That would be like a nirvana, a utopia that we are nowhere close to getting to,” she told Time magazine. She was also asked if New York City had any plans to emulate Minneapolis and scale back on their police force. “They can do things that would not be possible in a large city like New York." Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, agreed that it would be nearly impossible to institute the same police reduction policies in a place as big as New York City.
