Suspect in brutal attack of NYPD officers gets set free… without bail

by SooperMexican

One of the suspects in the brutal attack of NYPD officers got set free without any bail set.

City officials mount a sharp attacked on the court system after a man accused of attacking several cops – including Chief of Department Terence Monahan — was released without bail. From CBS in New York:

It was a watershed moment – a low point in city crime fighting – when NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan and three other cops were brutally attacked during a Brooklyn Bridge protest, reported CBS2’s Marcia Kramer. The situation got worse when one of the attackers was freed without Bail , infuriating the mayor and the police commissioner.

“I think the world like this at times seems like it’s upside down,” Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said. “There needs to be consequences for people who just have no regard for the law.”

“To see someone assault him, the chief of department, is absolutely unacceptable. Assaulting any police officer is absolutely unacceptable. There have to be consequences and I say we need to have the court system to be up and running,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said.

The comments came at a press conference where the mayor and the police commissioner unveiled a new plan to deal with the city’s spiraling gun violence. Both had the court system squarely in the crosshairs. They have a litany of complaints, claiming those arrested for gun crimes are free to roam the streets and shoot again because, they say, courts have been closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, and bail reform has meant many or freed without bail.

Wasn’t De Blasio JUST SAYING that he was was proud of the fact that fewer perps were in jail because of his efforts and that NYC was the safest it had ever been? Doesn’t sound like it to me…

Here’s the video of the attack:
