New York Post ^ | January 9 2015 | Philip Messing, Melkorka Licea and Joe Tacopino

A man yelling “I want to kill cops” tried to run down two Port Authority Police officers with his car near the entrance to the ­Holland Tunnel Wednesday night in the latest attack on officers.

Matthew Christian Cash, who has an extensive criminal record, was barreling down a restricted fire lane near Varick and Watts streets when he barely missed cops patrolling the tunnel and smashed his silver Audi right into their ­police cruiser at about 8 p.m., authorities said.

IMO, a reflection of the illegal, unconstitutional, and disrespectful Obama administration.

None of these bizarre activities we are witnessing in this era occurred to any degree prior to the insertion of the Obama “spirit” into the public arena.

Trying to run down a cop with your car is assault with a deadly weapon. Shoot him, then and there.

Sure looks like an A8 or A6, $60k to $100k new. Probably one of De Blasio’s cocktail party buddies.

Many police departments, including the NYPD (though I realize these guys were Port Authority cops), specifically prohibit officers from shooting people who are trying to run them over (unless they were also threatening otherdeadly force against the officer or others. The NYPD Patrol Guide states:

(g) Police officers shall not discharge their firearms at or from a moving vehicle unless deadly physical force is being used against the police officer or another person present, by means other than a moving vehicle.

The logic behind this, I think, is protecting others around the scene - if you shoot at a moving vehicle and disable the driver, the vehicle may end up continuing to move with the disabled driver, going into a crowd, etc.

DeBlasio, just being a communist like he should be. Another dead cop, another photo op. Sounds like Obama except at Ft. Hood, Little Rock, or Tarpon Springs, Fla, etc.

Reds just doing what they like to do, destroying America, one law, one executive order, one lie at a time.

“Sure looks like an A8 or A6, $60k to $100k new. Probably one of De Blasio’s cocktail party buddies.”

As soon as I saw it was an Audi I asked myself, “How does a 24 year old afford that?”

Matthew Christian Cash, who has an extensive criminal record
We back to the “black lives matter, no matter their character” narrative?

We already had the Smith College president back down to racism after she declared “all lives matter” and then apologized, so we know the true liberal narrative after that.
