Police Chief: Arrested Looters in NYC Are Immediately Released Because of Bail-Reform Law
National Review ^ | June 2, 2020 | Zachary Evans

Posted on 06/02/2020 4:22:17 PM PDT by karpov

Most of the looters and rioters arrested by the NYPD over the past several days are immediately released as a direct result of New York’s new bail-reform law, New York City police chief Terrence Monahan told the New York Post on Tuesday.

While the city police made over 650 arrests on Monday night alone, Monahan said that “just about all of them” will be released without bail.

“We had some arrests in Brooklyn where they had guns, [and] hopefully [Brooklyn district attorney] Eric Gonzalez will keep them in, [but] I can’t guarantee that’ll happen,” Monahan said. “But when it comes to a burglary [at] a commercial store, which is looting, they’re back out. . . . Because of bail reform, you’re back out on the street the next day. You cannot be held on any sort of bail. I spoke to [Manhattan district attorney] Cy Vance about that, he told me there’s nothing he can do.”

New York’s bail-reform law, which went into effect earlier this year, eliminates the bail requirement for suspects accused of most misdemeanors, including burglary and stalking. Suspects in violent felonies are still required to post bail. Even before the law was adopted, New York law forbade judges from considering many suspects’ potential danger to the community before setting bail.

New York City has seen widespread rioting and looting during demonstrations sparked by the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who was killed during a confrontation with white police officers in Minneapolis, Minn. The NYPD has stated that organized groups of “anarchists” are targeting stores in wealthy neighborhoods, especially in lower and midtown Manhattan. On Tuesday, Governor Andrew Cuomo slammed both the NYPD and Mayor Bill de Blasio for their handling of the riots.

No national guard, police stand down and those that are arrested are released. That’s a solid game plan.

Well heck yeah. If you keep them they might get CV-19. Not much chance of lead poisoning in nyc. Except maybe in little Italy.

How con-veeeeeeeeeeeeeeen-ient!

Almost like it was planned in advance by the Dems / Deep State.

Strip New York of its statehood and put it under federal receivership.

Make the territorial governor Sarah Palin.

The Democrats don't want Antifa arrests because then they become documented.

Once arrested and held for charges and trial, we will find out their names, where they came from, and who is funding them.<

The last thing Democrats want is a paper trail. So, the rioters are set free.

I’m beginning to see a complete lack of leadership at any
level.

Riots continue across the board. Hundreds of billions of
destruction, dead innocents, and misguided people admitting
they stand with the anarchists.

Is there one collective brain left in America?

“NYC is LOST!”

It’s been lost. What’s the point in police putting their lives on the line if the legislature makes sure criminals can’t stay locked up?

Ain’t happening in Los Angeles Co.

The DA says looting is outside catch-and-release.

Stay locked up till you see a judge.

I say this with my brother living there: Police need to stand down and do nothing. The asstards living there voted for this so give them what they want. They want no police, no jail for criminals, politicians who support this terrorism, fine, have fun.
