NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch pointedly called Wednesday for \u201cmoral clarity\u201d ahead of the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks \u2014 decrying those blurring the lines between heroes and terrorists.<\/p>\n

Tisch made the remarks alongside a stone-faced Mayor Zohran Mamdani as they unveiled a new 9\/11 Memorial Wall at One Police Plaza.<\/p>\n

The wall \u2013 which includes 469 new names, commemorating NYPD members who have died of 9\/11-related illnesses \u2013 preserves the unfathomable devastation from the attack on the World Trade Center towers and the heroism in response, Tisch said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPreserving that history also means preserving its moral clarity,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe men who attacked this city were terrorists. The men and women who ran into the towers to save innocent lives were heroes. Twenty-five years cannot be allowed to blur that distinction and shame on those who do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The subtle condemnation by Tisch didn\u2019t have a clear target, although online personality Hasan Piker \u2013 a vocal lefty Mamdani supporter \u2013 has come under sustained criticism for previously saying that \u201cAmerica deserved 9\/11.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamdani, for his part, didn\u2019t flinch as Tisch made her remarks.<\/p>\n

The mayor and commissioner later participated together in a briefing covering security preparations for the attacks\u2019 25th anniversary Friday.<\/p>\n

Piker walked back his 2019 comments, explaining that he meant US actions in the Middle East have a boomerang effect.<\/p>\n
