| NYU-trained lawyer accused of hurling Molotov cocktail at marked NYPD vehicle | ||
| 2020-06-01 | ||
| [FoxNews] A Ivy League-educated lawyer and member of a Brooklyn community board was among those arrested for hurling a Molotov cocktail at a marked NYPD vehicle amid George Floyd protests, it was revealed Sunday. Colinford Mattis, 32, was allegedly behind the wheel of a tan minivan as his passenger, fellow attorney Urooj Rahman, allegedly hurled the incendiary at an empty NYPD vehicle outside the 88th Precinct station house in Fort Greene early on Saturday. Mattis, a graduate of Princeton University and New York University law school, is an associate at corporate Manhattan firm Pryor Cashman. He was furloughed in April amid the coronavirus crisis, his employer confirmed. “As we confront critical issues around historic and ongoing racism and inequity in our society, I am saddened to see this young man allegedly involved in the worst kind of reaction to our shared outrage over what had occurred,” managing partner Ron Shechtman said in a statement to The Post.
Rahman, 31, meanwhile, is also registered as an attorney in New York state, who was admitted to the bar in June 2019 after graduating from Fordham University School of Law. It was not immediately clear on Sunday whether she was affiliated with any law firm.

| #10 They'll get some nominal punishment for the optics. Then, when this is no longer fresh in everyone's mind, they'll be pardoned and the record expunged. Then they'll be fast tracked to cushy city positions. It's good to be the kangz. |

| #9 Jonathan Turley looked into it. Apparently the kids are looking at no less than five years for deliberately killing an empty police car, and the partners are reviewing getaway driver Mattis’s employment. Thrower Ms Rahman is what they call a human rights lawyer. |

| #5 My apologies. On checking the article in question, I find the sisters were the subject of another article in which our two idiot lawyers appear in the last paragraph. |

| #2 Given his accuracy, I have to assume NYU has no organized sports...other than rioting and treason of course. |

| #1 I had a pitbull once. No comparison of the fine dog with this guy, of course. The dog would run and play until something would flip the 'kill switch'. Then he was savage and unapproachable until the switch was reset. |
