Top NYPD cop warns officers not to wear their uniforms in public for their own safety following assassination attempts on police as suspect is pictured handcuffed to hospital bed
  • Hazel Jennings, chief of the Department of Corrections, issued a memo Sunday night urging officers not to wear uniforms or department logos in public to avoid being targeted
  • The memo came after a career criminal launched two separate attacks on officers in the Bronx in the span of just 12 hours, leaving two officers injured
  • Robert Williams was taken into custody after he allegedly opened fire on the 41st precinct Sunday morning
  • He struck a lieutenant in the arm before running out of bullets, lying down and tossing his gun as he was swarmed by officers
  • Hours earlier, Williams approached a patrol van in the same area late Saturday and fired at two officers inside, wounding one before escaping on foot
  • Authorities said the 45-year-old suspect was out on parole after a 2002 attempted murder conviction
  • He was seen handcuffed to a hospital bed on Sunday in photos obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com
  • Authorities said they brought a woman in for questioning who is believed to be Williams' girlfriend Liza T Valdez, a communications technician for the NYPD
  • NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea labeled both attacks this weekend attempted 'assassinations'
  • Shea and Mayor Bill de Blasio blamed the attacks on an anti-police atmosphere fueled by recent protests

#2 This reminds me of when I was stationed at the Pentagon in 1971. We were allowed to wear civvies because of threats from antiwar activists.
