  • Charlie Vasquez, 23, from Brooklyn, was charged with two counts of attempted murder, assault, criminal use of a firearm and criminal possession of a weapon

  • Vasquez was arrested in The Bronx, near the 48th Precinct, on Wednesday, after he reportedly opened fire on NYPD officers Alejandra Jacobs and Robert Holmes

  • Jacobs, a military veteran, was shot twice in the right arm, while Holmes, who has been in the department for eight years, was shot in his right armpit area

  • Holmes and Jacobs were treated at St. Barnabas Hospital. They have since been released and are expected to make a full recovery

  • Police said Vasquez had eight prior arrests, once for criminal possession of a weapon for allegedly pulling a gun on a 32-year-old male during a fight in 2017

  • 'This is a Thanksgiving 'tradition' we never want to repeat,' the Police Benevolent Association (NYC PBA) tweeted after both officers were discharged

This situation will continue to happen. As long as State Law Makers go touchy-feely Liberal and continuously toss taxpayer $$$$ at trying and failing to fix career criminals, instead of isolating them from the good, morally honest people.

Our Law Enforcement and Honest citizens should never be legislated into being made easy prey for the those that don't obey the law.

#3 Is this perp going to get released on a $1000 bail, the going rate asked by a Soros-placed prosecutor. I also blame Obama for kicking off this period of disrespect for cops and calls for defunding the police. After Biden, the next worst POTUS ever.

#4 NYC 'career criminal,' 23,

And to think, some kids waste their time going to VocTech School, Community College and/or University for a career... pray tell what is a career criminal (18-23 - 5 years is a career?)
