NY Parole Board frees 37th cop-killer in 6 years: ‘It’s a disgrace’

A convicted murderer who fatally shot an off-duty NYPD officer during a robbery in Brooklyn nearly 40 years ago was released on parole earlier this week — the 37th cop killer in the state granted their freedom in just six years.

Alexander Evans, who gunned down Officer James Holmes on March 23, 1986, was sprung from Otisville Correctional Facility on Monday after the state Parole Board decided in favor of his release, state records show.

Evans, 57, was serving 32 years to life for killing Holmes, 47, an NYPD housing cop with 17 years on the job who left behind a wife and four children.

Of the 37 cop killers released since 2017, 33 were murdered NYPD officers.

This article is from last September, but I thought I would post it after that cop Jonathan Diller was killed the past week in New York. This is how NY Governor Kathy Hochul and democrats really see cop killers. THIRTY SEVEN released in only 6 years!

I'm not sure what to call it, but Disgrace is much too mild for my liking.

Well, I guess the retired men and women in blue just figured out a new hobby...

You’d think at minimum killing a cop or anyone for that matter, especially in the commission of yet another crime, would at least rate life in prison no parole...end of story.

Disgusting.

NO justice for the murdered individuals, their friends, their families.
