This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Pete, the Manhattan district
attorney under fire for dropping
felony charges against a
black lives matter, organizer
accused of assaulting a police
officer and then releasing him
without bail.
The d dot a gave no explanation.
Instead condemning police for
deploying to his home, saying in
a statement. These actions were
disproportionate to the alleged
offense that occurred two months
ago. Unjustifiably escalated
conflict between law enforcement
and the communities we serve
here to react. New York, state,
Assemblymanner, GOP
Congressional, can Kate
candidate
Nicole, explain this
dropping a felony charge,
the d dot A says nothing to see
here.
This is really enraging, but
not surprising, because across
this city were seeing more and
more elected officials that are
disrespecting the police and
they are holding those who are
hurting them accountable.
When you dont have elected
officials that respect the
police youre not going to have
members of the public that
respect the police.
I think that is really what
were battling here in New York
are a bunch of elected officials
who think it is okay to close
Rikers Eye LAN and release
people back on to our streets.
They think it is okay to
eliminate bail rioters and
looters by the way. Some of
these Democrats raised money for
bail funds to release these
rioters and these looters back
on to the streets right after
the police arrest them.
It is police officer, Schiff,
wasnt, even completed, and people
were back on the streets.
Pete youre, a police officer
youve, been assaulted in a
felony charge and when you go to
arrest the individual, who did
that the district attorney for
the state says no, we were
wrong.
Nothing to see here
were not going to do anything
about it.
It is unbelievable.
It is not just here in New York
from Boston University canceling
benefit for bail reform after a
rapist is bailed out, struck
again
suspects behind the spike in
New York City already getting
bail
in Houston, more than forty
released prisoners, since two thousand and eighteen
went on to be charged with
murder.
What do people expect when you
release criminals early
well, look bill De Blasio
made it his real effort to
release as many prisoners as
possible during Covid 19, citing
they had health risks.
Then there were hundreds that
were rearrested for committing
other crimes.
Then you have our members of
Congress, including every every
congressional representative
from New York City and the
Democrats. They all sided with
Pelosi and Socialist squad to
vote for a bill that would
release federal convicts,
including murders and rapists.
The people around the country
have to realize this is what
theyre getting
getting socialist democrats.
Cowardly Democrats, like my
opponent, MAX rose, who are
afraid of AOC coming at them
next round.
We need Republicans to push back
against the chaos in the city
level, but now perpetrating
throughout the federal level of
government as well,
PETE Old fashioned notion of
law and order.
If you assault a police officer,
I dont care what youre
protesting you will get the book
thrown at you, not the d dot, a
defending you.
It is amazing,
Nicole, real quick
police officers are not safe,
were not safe.
