NYC Police Chief Confirms: Nearly 'All' Arrested Rioters Will Be Released Without Bail
Quick question: what are the chances most of these George Floyd rioters are sans job? Probably pretty good, right? People who have responsibilities commit the types of violent acts we’ve all seen recently.
The thing is, if you’re a violent “protester” in New York City, there’s a decent chance you were let out of jail after only a few hours.
Here’s why, via Fox News:
Hundreds of looters and rioters arrested by the New York Police Department over the past several days have been immediately released due to the state’s new bail-reform law that some say is turning the criminal justice process into a mockery and threatening public safety.
New York City police chief Terrance Monahan said “just about all” of the looters arrested will be released without bail.
CONTINUED:
Frustrated law enforcement officials across the state say repeat offenders are getting bolder by the day and claim the state’s policy gives lawbreakers the green light to commit crimes without consequences.
