The Ivy League-educated lawyer and Brooklyn community board member busted in Saturday’s Molotov cocktail attack on a marked NYPD vehicle amid George Floyd protests has been suspended without pay by the prestigious law firm where he worked.

“Colinford Mattis has been placed on suspension without pay, pending the resolution of the criminal proceedings. The suspension went into effect on Monday,” Ronald H. Shechtman, a managing partner at corporate Manhattan firm Pryor Cashman, said in a statement.

Mattis had been furloughed since April as the firm cut costs to cope with the coronavirus pandemic.

Mattis, 32, was allegedly behind the wheel of a minivan as his passenger, fellow attorney Urooj Rahman, allegedly hurled the incendiary device at an empty NYPD vehicle outside the 88th Precinct stationhouse in Fort Greene early Saturday.

It is not like he made a phone call about a threatening african american or something. That gets you fired.

He was already on furlough from the law firm, so I’m guessing he was hardly a star performer for them.

"just wait until he loses his license"

He has a race-card-winning hand to keep his license.

So he got a law degree and he’s still not happy...has to be an arsonist. Obviously, enough is never enough. I suspect that applies to a vast majority of the rioters, looters and arsonists.

And we are supposed have a warm, favorable opinion of these people?

Mentioning that the person threatening your dog is black is much worse than throwing a firebomb into a police car. Surely you can understand this.

Should be disbarred and 20 years hard labor, or better yet, death penalty.
