A convicted cop killer who gunned down an off-duty NYPD cop trying to stop a trio of car thieves in 1980 has been granted parole, the city police union said Thursday.

Paul Ford, 58, one of three men convicted in the Aug. 15, 1980 shooting death of Police Officer Harry Ryman, is scheduled to be released next month despite receiving a life sentence in the case, the Police Benevolent Association said on Twitter.

Another man convicted in the cop’s killing, Barrington Young, 62, was released last year and deported, the records show. The third convict, Cornelius Bucknor, 59, has been granted a parole hearing as well, the police union said.

the last thing you need for your parole to be certified, is the signature of the deceased officer, then you are a free man.

Wanna know why I support the death penalty?

Here you go. This convicted murderer should have been put
to death decades ago.

Now he’ll be a free man.

No, they are old and the state doesn’t want to provide healthcare, room and board in their old age.

Welcome to the new two tier US justice system:

Democrats get a chance to apologize and move on while Republicans get prosecuted to the full extent of the law and then some

People of color get probation while whites get prosecuted to the full extent of the law and then some

The state, courtesy taxpayers, will do that anyway.

What the state doesn’t want to pay for is prisons and corrections officers.

Outside of prison I’d imagine they’ll share the cost (at least in theory); in prison we’re footing 100% of the bill.

Don’t the most generous freebies include some cost for the user, or would they simply be denied some procedures?

What few there are aren’t much. Not for medical care, housing, prescriptions...

I’m not understanding; are you saying they’ll get everything for free, or pay for everything? Sorry

Naturally!

Nice to know he will now be added to the voter rolls...
Maybe run for political office...
Collect welfare for life...
Go after the cop’s family...
Sue the NYPD for excessive arrest force...
Endless TV appearances describing how he was just misunderstood by his parents...
