Escape From NY? Man Sucker-Punches, Bashes Brooklyn Cop as Cop's partner begs him to stop
2019-12-29
[NYPost] A deranged man sucker-punched an NYPD officer on a Brooklyn sidewalk, pinning the cop to the ground and refusing to budge — and was later released despite felony assault charges, police and sources said.

The wild video shows Steven Haynes, 40, socking the uniformed officer across the face outside a Bank of America near the corner of Livingston St. and Court St. in Downtown Brooklyn on Thursday, officials said.

Haynes, who police said had been sitting on the sidewalk drinking and blocking pedestrians, briefly brawls with the officer before wrestling him to the pavement in a swift attack that sends a nearby trash can flying into the street, body camera footage obtained by The Post shows.

The Brooklyn man was arrested and hit with a slew of charges, including assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration, disorderly conduct, and alcoholic beverage violation, authorities said.

He was later released without bail at an arraignment Friday, sources told the Post.

#12  Lost implies that they were attempting to maintain control, Lex.

At this point I honestly don't know what, if anything, DeBlasio is trying to maintain. We know what he was against - police "brutality" - but we don't have any idea what he is for. Does he even grasp that the biggest enemy of poor residents in NY and every other US city is the feral youth who prey upon them, and that their best friend is an aggressive-policing beat cop?

I get it that the Soros-funded and -vaulted DAs like the terrorist spawn in San Francisco, the idiot Wakandan in Chicago etc are pledged to turn the streets over to the ferals.

But what, if anything, do the traditional, old-time pols like DeBlasio and the Dem POTUS nominees have in their heads regarding law and order?

#6  “Get off of him, get off of him!” the officer says as she hovers over the suspect. ... grips the man’s jacket and attempts to convince him to move.

Ah.

#2  Because De Blasio + BLM. Cops in NY have lost control. They not only no longer have a monopoly on violence; they have forsworn violence altogether.

This'll teach the perps:

Mister, come on,” the cop pleads, thumping Haynes on the back with the baton.

#1  And the partner’s baton wasn’t used to split the attacker’s skull open why?
