Cops let suspect walk in heinous caught-on-camera NYC subway beating of 60-year-old woman: sources

The ex-convict who allegedly beat a 60-year-old woman with a cane in a Harlem subway station was cut loose by cops after the heinous caught-on-camera assault — and the officers’ response is now under investigation, The Post has learned.

In the now-viral recording, the hulking suspect — publicly identified by cops Tuesday as 43-year-old Norton Blake —bashed Laurell Reynolds, 60, scores of times on her head, stomach, leg, arms, back and hands as she fell to the ground inside the West 116 Street and Lenox Avenue station at about 3:30 a.m. on Friday.

“They should’ve arrested him!” Reynolds, who is disabled and uses a walker and does not work, told The Post in a bedside interview.

“I don’t deserve that. Not at all, not at all … and I pray to God that it doesn’t happen to no one else,” she added. “They need to keep that man off the street.”

This is the cops’ new method of reducing crime in their cities. Just pretend it didn’t happen, you silly duck.

I must plan a vacation trip to the rotten apple soon. I’ve always wanted to ride the subway system with my family.

Psst...it’s done on purpose to keep people in fear. Fearful people are easier to control

I’m sorry for the lady, but this is what happens when you convince everyone that arresting black men—for any reason—is racist. This is the system you folks wanted. Well, you got it.

If they arrested him, he’d be out 15 minutes later.
What are officers supposed to do?

****

Arrest him. Leave it in the DA’s hands.
If this guy hurts anyone else, it’s on them.

Hopefully they’ll find him as the recipient of a beat-down in some alley somewhere.

You are probably right

A cop has to think;

Why should I do two hours of paperwork when this guy will be out on the street an hour after I finish the report.

Soros’ “DAs” have their hands full trying to put President Trump in jail before the voting starts. They’re in a panic as it is right now.

In New York the man who beats up a woman is set free, but the man who stops an insane man who is threatening innocent riders is arrested and charged with murder.

Trump as POTUS federalizes the local cops. If not elected an Asian mafia sees an opening to get rich.

And they were probably already over their allowable number of blacks to be arrested.

They demoralize the cops, release violent criminals without bail, and let them off with a slap on the wrist. And the citizens wonder why the cops don’t bother to do their jobs? The system is broken and the voters are holding the crowbar.

From the video, it appears that the guy doing the beating is not black.

I don’t know if it is just me, but this video seems fake. She has her feet in the air, and he seems to be just striking near her feet, from side to side with no energy behind the strikes. I was hoping his pants were not going to completely fall off. Strange.

In Alabama the perp gets shot dead by the public, so no repeat offenders.
