Beware Mamdani's Judges | RealClearPolitics -
Betsy McCaugheyWhat does it take to get locked up?
- Two men allegedly stole a Dodge Charger muscle car and led cops on a wild chase through Harlem streets, driving up on sidewalks, endangering pedestrians and slamming into other vehicles. When the cops finally grabbed them, one of the men had a loaded, unlicensed pistol in his waistband. All of this was captured on video.
- Here's the punchline. Hauled before a Bronx Criminal Court judge, the two men were back on the street within hours.
Former New York City Police Department Commissioner Ray Kelly says "the cops clearly risked their lives" and that the judge's decision "shows a total disregard for their bravery."
- Too many of the city's lower-court judges are ideologically opposed to locking up alleged offenders before trial or requiring cash bail, even when the state's pro-criminal laws allow it.
- Kelly fears the situation will worsen if Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor...
