“NYPD officers, who were at the station, arrested the man, but he was released on a desk appearance ticket, Sliwa said.”
As long as the NYC prosecutor’s office continues their policy of catch and release, this sort of thing will continue unabated.
For years I was in the habit of regularly taking day trips to NYC on “Megabus”. If you booked in advance you could get a $1 promotional fare which is what I did. It was cheaper than staying home. But since the Rat Party's virus panic I can't get them any more but it's just as well...I no longer have any desire to set foot in the city.
