Most of the looters and rioters arrested by the NYPD over the past several days are immediately released as a direct result of New Yorks new bail-reform law, New York City police chief Terrence Monahan told the New York Post on Tuesday.
While the city police made over 650 arrests on Monday night alone, Monahan said that just about all of them will be released without bail.
We had some arrests in Brooklyn where they had guns, [and] hopefully [Brooklyn district attorney] Eric Gonzalez will keep them in, [but] I cant guarantee thatll happen, Monahan said. But when it comes to a burglary [at] a commercial store, which is looting, theyre back out. . . . Because of bail reform, youre back out on the street the next day. You cannot be held on any sort of bail. I spoke to [Manhattan district attorney] Cy Vance about that, he told me theres nothing he can do.
New Yorks bail-reform law, which went into effect earlier this year, eliminates the bail requirement for suspects accused of most misdemeanors, including burglary and stalking. Suspects in violent felonies are still required to post bail. Even before the law was adopted, New York law forbade judges from considering many suspects potential danger to the community before setting bail.
New York City has seen widespread rioting and looting during demonstrations sparked by the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who was killed during a confrontation with white police officers in Minneapolis, Minn. The NYPD has stated that organized groups of anarchists are targeting stores in wealthy neighborhoods, especially in lower and midtown Manhattan. On Tuesday, Governor Andrew Cuomo slammed both the NYPD and Mayor Bill de Blasio for their handling of the riots.

Shoplifting? Hell, this is store lifting.
A godless and becoming a lawless society.
At least the anti-police folks have something to cheer about.
We get to see the kinder gentler kneeling side of the police.
And so America burns, because “we don’t need the police”.
A black Federal Security officer was assassinated. A white
girl was cornered in her own car, beaten, raped, and killed
in it.
Another girl walking down the street took an ANTIFA bullet.
She’s deal. The perp is safe to play another day.
Well, here’s your perfect world anti-Cop jackasses.
And now they don’t even hold rioters. Processing time and
they’re right back out throwing rocks through windows,
looting, torching...
And of course the police officers who risked their lives
to make the arrests, can risk them again to take the person
into custody again.
Lets hear it for the five to seven days without the
police. Gosh, I sure wish it could be like this every day.
Well, we have folks championing that.
They never learn.
So VERY TRUE.
As they must learn... "You reap what you sow."
“...if the legislature makes sure criminals cant stay locked up?”
Republicans could make very effective ads against these policies for this year’s election, but they’d be branded as racist if they did.
“Whats the point in police putting their lives on the line if the legislature makes sure criminals cant stay locked up?”
It’s against the mayor’s Directive.
To quote Ned Flander’s beatnik parents on dealing with their troublesome child: We tried nothing and we are out of ideas
Or go to church.
Sorry but its hard to generate sympathy for New Yorkers. They voted for the vile Democrats they wanted and now must live with all the consequences. Never forget that Cuomo who signed that bail law, also ranted that decent pro-life people should leave New York. He said they were not wanted. Hopefully they took his advice and did leave.
A 100 years ago looters were shot on sight. We are more civilized now. Right?
Now don't tell anyone, but we know PA and MA will want in on this, and I'm sure when CA hears about it, they'll want it too, quickly followed by WA and OR. This will provide reason for our desired goal. We can't move too fast, we need to creep one step at a time. But once we have west coast support we can unveil version two of the system that streamlines the business process behind all of this. We can directly go with chip implants that LEO and other necessary government entities can read and write. This will be part of the nationwide rollout. And one last selling point, their will be a tracking feature that can be turned on for specific groups of people that pose a threat to society, i.e., white supremacists, Christians and ultra-rightwing conservatives like Republicans.
The Big Apple is Baked
Insanity
Oh, that’s why they passed this stupid law!
They knew this was coming...
Im beginning to see a complete lack of leadership at any
level.
Everything stands on its head in NY:
1) Send covid patients into nursing homes
2) Send prisoners who are probably immune to covid into society to rape, kill, steal
3) Release all the prisoners who are charged in the riot
4) Endorse a party that sets bail for rioting prisoners
Basically the prisoners are the victims and tax payers are scum. Then they’ll want the federal government (tax payer) to bail them out just like during the pandemic. And the mayor wants his wife as diversity officer = $$$$$$$. Well rot in hell you scumbags.
Yep, I just checked and I’m still out of rat’s asses to give.
[Republicans could make very effective ads against these policies for this years election, but theyd be branded as racist if they did.]
Keep voting for Democrats
