Wanna bet the suspect had a record and was released numerous times?
The judge and DA are responsible for the released 13%ers. Over & over again, & they never learn.
And was black
He did have a record. He had a gun charge less than a year ago. Mayor Adams mentioned it during the press conference.
Of course,that goes without saying.
If I had to bet I would bet it's the usual suspects. My deepest condolences to the family and to the entire NYPD. You don't need to love cops but you must respect them and respect authority
So the criminal had 21 priors!! Why haven't people protest about how corrupt our justice system is. They continue to let out People who are criminals. Who are mentally insane and these cor.rupt judges are letting them out. Why? This also happened in Minnesota about 1 month ago where 3 police officers lives were taken. New Yorkers you need to stand up and vote smart. Stop complaining and do something about how you vote. Rest in peace to this officer and deepest condolences to his family.🙏🏼
21priors, ,,what's the limit?
@@EdT.-xt6yv Violent crimes? Ones the limit.
The voters in Minnesota should also stop voting for criminal reform policies and anti police legislation.
So the criminal had another gun. Ok no one cares how criminals are getting guns right?
New Yorkers standing up? Never going to happen!!
Sounds like an assassin!!! Bail reform has given Criminals the green light to do what they want because there’s zero punishment. New York City leaders failed this officer and others.
Easy access to firearms has given criminals the green light to do what they want
"An assassin" lmfao you fascist hogs live in fantasy land. You think action movies are real.
Illegal firearms or stolen @@Underdog271
@@Underdog271 Easy access for criminals who get illegal hand guns. Not so easy for law abiding citizens. Try getting a pistol permit anywhere in New York State.
@@danpaesano2429 people are getting pistol permits in New York all the time now. The supreme court changed that. Stop with the lies and false information
Being a cop these days ain't worth this generation respects nothing
Ppl are aware the PRISION system is a business. . I'm for the death penalty and believe a person should serve their full term. . But the system is corrupt and it starts with the elected officials.
and salary between 50k-100k. nahhhh
@@ankalagon45 yeah but they always get overtime. every week. dozens of hours of over time. so at the end of the year, many officers are pulling down 200k a year. still not worth it in my opinion, but they get much more compensation. also the best health plans and dental. a free car to drive to and from work, they even get extra rights while off duty, they can own NFA items like full auto and sawed off shotguns... they get a lot of compensation
You are correct. This generation of politicians and judges do not respect the law and cops.
@@ankalagon45before taxes.
Lawless America.
Ever look at actual crime numbers? Or just go off Fux and OAN?
Why the racist hate speech?
The law says during a traffic stop a passenger doesn't have to show id if he only focused on the driver he would still be alive
@@JimJam8008 Why are you leaving stupid comments?
@@Ericlawless380wrong, passenger has to show ID, everybody in a car during the stop must comply.
No, Mr. Mayor, your symbol is bail reform.
City council is the symbol of bail reform
The Mayor isn’t responsible for bail reform. Maybe take a remedial class at night school. It’s 9th grade Government. Then post your comments. You can’t wake up after being in a academic coma for 20 or 30 years. Then comment without looking like an imbecile.
@@MiturBinEsderty thank you it’s the governor and the city council
@@MiturBinEsdertythese fools just spew the same NY Post buzzwords and have no idea or interest in facts smh.
Actually mayor Adams is a puppet. Blame the source ... The people who pays him...
Get rid of that bail reform mayor always going to be more situations like this
In the meantime Leticia James is going after Trump. Blame her for this!
Nothing to do with bail reform, everything to do with how that gun got into the perpetrator hands.
This is the new world order.
The Governor is in charge of the whole State. The Governor is in charge of the mayor.
@@SlumberSourceTrump is a criminal and traitor who deserves prison time.
Eric Adams is useless.
That they investigate that the governor and the judges that now the criminals are imprisoned only for a few days and they take him out and they do nothing and have no respect for our policemen
a clown
A poor excuse of a governor
Amen
DA is just as useless
i bet that person has an extensive criminal records
You know, you can't keep a guy behind bars just for being a criminal......not these days.....Poor cop....
No doubt, most of them do. These judges need to be held accountable for the dangerous people they repeatedly keep releasing into the public.
Must be black I guarantee
wat did the criminal look like? What other arrests did he have?
@@mothernature8893 last time I checked judges sentenced them however, the parole board is who determines whether they get parole or not
We're losing our sons and daughters everyday in this god forsaken city. Disgusting.
Keep voting democrats
Thank God my children have already left

😂
@@josephjacob3274when it comes to gun violence there is no safe place in this country red or blue.
They released this guy more 21 times 😡 why?? What you was waiting to do after 21 time arrest??
Right it's F sickening!
This young officer was killed because of Eric Adam's and Governor Hochuls policies! How dare Adam's call him "one of our own." My deepest condolences to his family and his brothers and sisters in blue. God bless.
What are Adams' policies that caused it?
Blame the voters who elected city councils enacted no bail.
Exactly!!!!
@@NP70se Could be wrong here, but maybe its to do with bail policies. Suspect in the case was locked up in 2023 for a gun possession charge, barely into 2024 and he's out on the streets with another gun
@@NP70se
Soft on crime policies
Not keeping criminals in jail
Not prosecuting criminals
Shit like that
Da Briggs just as much to blame
I also blame fake liberal media
for demonizing and lying about law enforcement for the last four years
My heartfelt condolences to his wife and child. This should not be happening to another police officer that protects us, the citizens of New York. The bail laws must change.
The citizens voted for it!
I feel you. I have to add, that the bail laws won’t fully fix the problem with this neighborhood, which is, no specialized hospitals. That man should never have had to go to Jamaica Hospital, 16 miles away, in a city like NYC, where hospitals are close. A Trauma Center needs to be created in those areas as well as the idea of bail reform. The program of it being a throwaway community is part of the problem too, but hospitals are definitely either looking for the dollar, or closing down in NYC. They’re even closing Beth Israel Hospital I’mn Manhattan I heard!!! God bless this officer’s soul as well as family. I pray we can resolve this tornado of hatred in NYC.
R.I.P. To The Police Officer who was killed, praying for his family! For Strength and Peace And Comfort In All The Family Hearts 😢

@@dorlis1

@@dorlis1 neither do I. Which is why it's weird that you would assume that I do. Plus, it's election season. It's like listening to Mariah Carey in Target during Christmas. You may hate it because it always in your face but you get used to it, and even occasionally find yourself singing along... so to speak.
@@dorlis1 you aren't understanding the analogy I see. It's expected. Political talk during election season. It's not a sympathetic problem because we will all feel how you feel at some point this year. Truly nobody cares.
Description of the suspect please.
Escaped prisoner Skylar Meade and his accomplice Nicholas Umphenour have been recaptured after the two men coordinated a prison escape in Idaho on Wednesday, officials have said.
Meade had been serving a 20-year prison sentence for shooting a sheriff in a high-speed car chase at the time of his escape.
Umphenour allegedly shot two of the officers to help Meade break free. A third correctional officer was shot amid the chaos as backup arrived at the scene and mistook the officer for an armed individual.
The men were later reported to have been associates while spending time behind bars at the Idaho Department of Corrections (IDOC). Both had links to the same white supremacist gang.

What if the shooter investigates himself and finds no wrong doing? 😨
My condolence to his family and the NYPD. As a father of two police officer in Georgia, this is my only fear each day. Praying for all in this moment of tragedy 😢
First of all. My condolences goes to the officer's family and friends. I know tonight, of all night, and during Holly Week, this type of tragedy should not happen.
Second. To the dumb idiot politicians in Albany and City Hall who supported Bail Reform many years ago. This what the City of New York is paying for.
To the dumb idiots activists who fought for the end of "Stop and Frisk" by taking it all the way to the US Supreme Court. This is what the City of New York is paying for.
I don't know how you bastard sleep at night knowing that your action is reversing decades of hard work by the NYPD. Your actions is potentially bringing NYC back to the bad old days of the 1970s and 80s.
Very well said. Elections have real consequences. The DA office is releasing criminals back on the streets with their ideology of zero bail. Now the city is infested with criminals
Wholeheartedly agree. I lived there 1970-72 and it was a pit, but nowhere near as violent as it is now. NYC had a Renaissance around 2014. Long gone. What a tragedy for this young officer to lose his life to garbage.
You bother to look at the bail reform? Of course not. You don't even live here.

Sue the DA and the judge that released this suspect to the street.
What's the full story? Was it a stolen car? Did the suspect not have a license? Kinda weird to ask someone to step out the car for parking at a bus stop. Curious as to what escalated the situation.
Is it weird to shoot an officer for asking you to step out of a car?
@KeLena_DuGrant Yes, it's very weird. It def should not have happened. I just want the details. I live in that neighborhood, and the precinct is only a few blocks away.
@@kennethukoh519 For safety reasons, it's routine to instruct suspicious characters to exit a vehicle to have a better view of said characters to control and determine whether or not the situation is safe. Guns are found in many cars. Unfortunately this character had one and proved to be a lowlife. Always remember that cops are regulators, so by default they are the good ones.
It is illegal to do that btw, and fully legal to preform a traffic stop. You can't refuse to move out from in front of public transportation
Does it matter. Are you suggesting they stopped for being black. If so, does that mean he has license to kill.?
Messed up. Feds need to pick this case up.

Doesn't matter, Pennsylvania v Mimms, Maryland v Wilson and Terry v Ohio.
Their violent , armed , and don't care about the authorities. But dont you dare carry a firearm to protect yourselves. That's scary .
NY? Then catch-and-release and apology for the shooter. We must be diverse and inclusive for all misunderstood peoples.
Tell me again how crime has lowered?

the crime is literally lower...
Lower compared to when? Also couldn’t be the authorities in that sh!t hole fudging the numbers by not prosecuting???🤡🤡🤡

A car illegally parked isn't a traffic infraction. That's just a ticket on the windshield for a big fine. Hence, the cop had no right to force either the driver or the passenger to exit the vehicle.
