Judge Laura Johnson (left) released Devon Coley (right) without bail after he made death threats against the NYPD on Facebook.
A Brooklyn judge cut loose a gang member who had posted online threats to gun down cops in the hours after two NYPD officers were executed in their patrol car — ignoring prosecutors’ pleas to keep him behind bars, The Post has learned.
Criminal Court Judge Laura Johnson let Devon Coley, 18, waltz free without bail despite the fact that he faces seven years behind bars on charges he made a terroristic threat — complete with an image of a killer shooting cops in their car — and is awaiting trial in two unrelated cases involving assault and gun possession.
Johnson’s stunning no-bail decision came just two days after Saturday’s broad-daylight slayings of Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu by a gunman bent on avenging the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown at the hands of police.
It also came after Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plea earlier Monday for New Yorkers to “call 911” if they suspect someone is planning to attack the NYPD.

The thug the cop shot in St. Louis should have been in prison. Did you see his police record? Why was he out walking the streets?

There is a strong belief today that there should be no rules or laws for blacks from public school on. Rules should only apply to whites who support other lazy whites, blacks and illegals.

And WHY aren’t these judges (and lawyers) not held accountable for their actions??
Nobody will be fired, let alone dis-bared, or hell, even FINED/reprimanded.
Some animals...
She probably has taxpayer funded armed security and/or is the NYC exeception and on the ‘special person’ list to be able to carry.
Terrible thing but no real surprise. New York is dominated by Liberals and Liberal ideology has it that blacks are oppressed, particularly by the police. In her mind I would bet she sees this worthless thug as the true victim here because he was detained for merely expressing his legitimate anger.
