A 16-year-old, up-and-coming rapper charged with shooting an NYPD cop in the Bronx walked free on bond Thursday — and cops are fuming over it.

“The NYPD is still the biggest gang in New York City,” spat rookie City Councilwoman Kristin Richardson Jordan upon taking office Jan. 2. Nineteen days later came the murder of NYPD Officer Jason Rivera in Jordan’s Harlem district, and she was crooning a slightly different tune: “A loss of one is a loss to the whole,” she said. “I stand with the families of the fallen.” An act of contrition? Or a statement of convenience? Most likely the latter. For one thing, standing “with the families of the fallen” isn’t the same as standing with cops willing to give their...

Shakur murdered New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster in 1973 and was sentenced to life in prison. She escaped from prison in 1979...

Incoming New York City Mayor Eric Adams can’t get into office quickly enough when it comes to his pledge to restore law and order and beef up the NYPD. After eight long years of Bill de Blasio running the police into the ground, some of the officers aren’t waiting around to see if things are going to improve under Adams. Quite a few of them have continued to either take early retirement or simply quit the force and head out in search of greener pastures. And a bunch of them have already landed in a new home that’s far away...

Black Lives Matter leader Hawk Newsome said Saturday on Fox News Channel’s “Unfiltered” that riots are the oppressed lashing out before he stormed out of the interview after refusing to condemn violence. When asked to condemn rioting, Newsome said, “As Dr. King said, riots are the voice of the unheard. It is a natural occurrence that people can continue to be oppressed. They will lash out.
