Ex-con with lengthy rap sheet sucker punches Yonkers cop who tries to help him — then judge frees him without bail

An ex-con with a lengthy rap sheet was arrested for sucker-punching a Yonkers cop – and released without bail just two days later, sparking outrage among both city officials and the police commissioner.

John McCray, a 39-year-old convicted felon out on parole for attempted robbery, was cut loose by a Westchester County judge following the Sept. 6 sneak attack, which was captured on shocking body camera footage released by the City of Yonkers Police Department.

“It is the very definition of insanity,” Mayor Mike Spano said in a statement.

“The justice system is consistently bailing out criminal offenders,” Spano railed. “This officer is now out on leave and not able to do his job, while this offender is able to continue to make a living.”

The officer was left with a broken nose when he got decked after trying to help McCray, who had passed out on a sidewalk, according to cops and the footage. Cops were called to Yonkers Avenue near Cypress Street last Wednesday night to check out a report that a man was laying on the sidewalk, according to a statement issued by the Yonkers police.

When they arrived, they allegedly found McCray on the ground. Officers made sure he was breathing, and helped him into an ambulance for treatment, police said. *** The Westchester County District Attorney’s Office asked the judge to hold McCray on $75,000 cash bail or $150,000 bond – likely in part because of his lengthy criminal history, which includes 13 criminal convictions over the last 20 years. *** McCray is also out on parole for a 2017 attempted robbery conviction that put him behind bars for nearly five years, cops said.

But Judge Maurice Williams ordered McCray be released on his own recognizance during the Sept. 8 arraignment in Yonkers Criminal Court.

“J6: DOJ Sentencing Memo Delivered 7-Year Prison Sentence for Kyle Young”

“J6 defendant Kyle Young sits in a medium-security prison in Arkansas where he is serving 86 months for one charge tied to his interaction with DC Metro Police Officer Michael Fanone. Young allegedly grabbed Fanone’s wrist, a three-second grasp that would later be categorized as “assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers.” Young’s original indictment carried ten charges. All other charges were dropped when Kyle accepted a plea deal in April 2022—according to Andrea Young, Kyle’s wife, the DOJ’s final sentencing memorandum probably delivered the 7-year sentence.”

Yonkers is a Dump, has been for many decades.

Now, get ready to hear from all of the Municipal Worker/Goobermint Union Leeches start screeching about how wonderful it is.

It’s all one big Getty Square now.

Get out while you still can.
Then, Let It All Burn.

Now in the olden days if something like this happened...a strange log would be floating down the river in the next few days.

But that was back then.

The problem is that some fool in Joe Biden’s clown show might pick some random Appalachian town on a map and say, “Yep, that’s the place to put the next 10,000 undocumented immigrants.”

In other words, no one is safe from the insanely. It’s all a roll of the dice.

Yonkers is a Dump, has been for many decades.

I met a former Yonkers city councilman who had recently moved to the Chapel Hill area of North Carolina. He told me that the whites and blacks lived on different sides of town. However, over time, the blacks started moving into low income housing in the white neighborhoods. In addition, the geniuses started busing the white students into predominantly black schools. Eventually, many whites moved out of Yonkers. Back in the 1950s, Yonkers was over 90% white. Now it is less than 50% white.

When I read “sucker punch” in the article, I pretty much knew it was a black man because that seems to be a part of their standard modus operandi when they’re angry.

The world at large laughs at the Stalinist show trials by the Biden regime.

Not a happy laugh, more like a lament, mind you.

The judge needs to be removed from the bench. He’s clearly not an impartial arbiter.
