SH**HOLE NEWS: No-Bail Release of Cop-Beating Thugs Should Be the Last Straw; Bronx Judge Frees Men Charged with Beating Up NYPD Officer — Despite DA’s Request for $10K Bail

No-bail release of cop-beating thugs should be the last straw:

In the latest no-bail outrage, Bronx Judge Eugene Bowen released two thugs caught on video beating cops who’d asked them to put out their cigarettes at the Freeman Street subway station.

To be clear: The charges were bail-eligible, even under New York’s “reformed,” perp-friendly laws.

Just days earlier, another Bronx judge set $40,000 cash bail or $120,000 bond for two men who’d battered and bloodied NYPD Lt. Gypsy Pichardo at another Bronx subway stop, so those perps are cooling their heels at Rikers.

But the Bronx prosecutors must’ve feared Bowen wouldn’t be so sensible: They only asked him to impose $10,000 bail or $30,000 bond in this case, though the video holds ample evidence of savagery and so provides solid reason to fear the accused won’t show up for trial unless remanded.

(Not to mention an obvious public-safety threat — but New York law tells judges not to consider that when setting bail.)

Bowen’s decision to spring the accused would be an outrage even if the victims weren’t police officers; that they were makes it outright obscene. The judge is emboldening other thugs to attack cops.

Bronx judge frees men charged with beating up NYPD officer — despite DA’s request for $10K bail:

A Bronx judge released the two brutes accused of pummeling a cop on Monday in a move that was slammed by one NYPD union leader as “upside down.”

Kaream McClary, 23, and Izayiah Jessamy, 20, were arraigned Tuesday on assault charges for allegedly beating up Officer John Hernandez after he and his partner asked the suspects to put out their cigarettes at the Freeman Street subway station, according to court documents and the NYPD.

At their hearing in Bronx Criminal Court, prosecutors requested bail set at $10,000 or $30,000 bond.

But Judge Eugene Bowen released them without bail, according to court records.

Patrick Hendry, the president of the Police Benevolent Association union, tore into the decision.

“This shows the absolutely upside down world we’re living in,” Hendry said in a statement.

“We need New Yorkers to start speaking up and demanding real consequences for those who assault cops,” he said.

“Our streets and subways won’t be safe if the cops protecting them aren’t safe.”
