Illegal Migrants Attack Cops Again But at Randall's Island

In a chaotic scene that unfolded at the increasingly lawless Randall’s Island tent city, one person was arrested after a dramatic caught-on-video confrontation between NYPD officers and migrants. The incident occurred when an unnamed individual, who was not supposed to be at the facility, was asked to leave by officials. The exact reason for their presence or what led up to the scuffle remains unclear.

The situation escalated rapidly, with separate cameras capturing different angles of the violent clash. On the video, we can see a group of cops attempting to restrain and arrest a male individual as illegal migrants shout at cops and throw objects. They threw what looked like cooler bags, cups, and other dinnerware. Cots and other furniture were thrown about in the scuffle.  Security from the tent were heard shouting to surround the cops to shield them from the violent and angry mob of illegal migrants. 

This incident just came weeks after an incident in Timeswas Square where illegal migrants attacked two cops (see:Sacerdotus: Attack on NYPD Officers in Times Square: No Bail for Suspects Sparks Controversy).  In this situation,  police officers initially demanded that the group disperse on the night of January 27. However, one uniformed officer suddenly grabbed migrant Yohenry Brito as he pushed a baby stroller carrying his belongings. In an audio recording, Brito can be heard referring to the officers in Spanish, saying, “They look like Ugly Betty.” The officer then led Brito against a building wall as other migrants who had been walking away made a U-turn and appeared to inquire about Brito's actions.

As a second cop spoke to the rest of the group, Brito, 24, flailed in an attempt to evade the first officer. Chaos ensued as both cops struggled to detain Brito across a stretch of sidewalk near 42nd Street and 7th Avenue. Other migrants joined the scuffle, attempting to help Brito break free. Some took turns kicking at the officers while they wrestled on the ground with Brito. In one instance, a migrant wiped out when attempting a kick but missed everything and struck only air. Another migrant dressed in all white—identified as Yorman Reveron—pulled and pushed police off of Brito, who had lost his jacket and shirt during the struggle. Reveron then helped Brito to his feet, and they both fled from the scene.

The bodycam footage also revealed the immense struggle between Brito and the two officers as other migrants assaulted police. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for deploying the National Guard. At least 12 suspects were allegedly involved in this attack; six have been arrested, while five were released on bail, leaving some still at large.

This highly publicized case has drawn attention during an election year, with political debates surrounding law enforcement responses and migrant rights. As prosecutors announced seven indictments related to this incident, tensions remain high in New York City.  There is no word about any charges regarding the new incident at Randall's Island.  

In any event, American citizens need to wake up and stop voting in officials who are facilitating this invasion of illegal migrants.  The borders need to be closed and these individuals sent back to their countries of origin until a vetting process is set up that will allow legitimate asylum seekers to enter our nation and who are tracked so they will not try to remain here illegally.

Attack on NYPD Officers in Times Square: No Bail for Suspects Sparks Controversy

A recent attack on two NYPD officers in Times Square has ignited outrage and raised questions about the handling of suspects involved. Critics are demanding answers as to why some of the arrested individuals were quickly released back onto the streets without bail.

The Incident

Nearly a week ago, a group of attackers assaulted two police officers in Times Square, resulting in injuries. The incident left many wondering why certain suspects were not held in custody pending trial.

The Bail Decision

The Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, initially avoided addressing why his office did not seek bail for several of the suspects. Some of these individuals have reportedly fled the state since their release. When questioned by NBC New York, Bragg declined to comment on whether not requesting bail was a mistake. Instead, he simply stated, "We'll speak in court."

Public Outcry and Demands for Accountability

The decision not to seek bail has sparked controversy. Critics argue that an assault on police officers should warrant detention. New York Governor Kathy Hochul expressed her disagreement with the suspects' release and called for their deportation. She emphasized that the issue lies not with weak bail laws but with failing to utilize existing laws effectively.

Behind Closed Doors

Governor Hochul met privately with DA Bragg to discuss the incident. Although Bragg was absent when Hochul emerged for a news conference with other district attorneys from Queens, Brooklyn, and Westchester, she expressed confidence that additional charges would be brought against the attackers.

Clarification from DA Bragg

Hours later, Alvin Bragg held a press conference to clarify his position. He asserted that assaults on police officers would not be tolerated. Bragg watched video footage to identify each suspect's role in the group assault.

The situation remains contentious as authorities grapple with balancing justice and public safety. The decision not to seek bail has drawn scrutiny, and further developments are anticipated as investigations continue.

This story is just mind-boggling.  There was once a time when it was a felony to attack a police officer. How times have changed!  These illegal immigrants attack two cops and then are released. It was said they fled the state of New York to California or Mexico, but this was disproved. A few of them were arrested again for other crimes.  This is just despicable.  The DA claims they did not have enough evidence to keep these thugs in jail, yet we have a clear video of the attack. What more do they need?

Luckily, pressure from fellow liberals brought the DA to charge these thugs and issue arrest warrants. They are now going to face justice and will hopefully be deported and barred from reentering the country. It is a bad time to be an NYPD officer now with these politicians in power. The Bail Reform law has empowered criminals to do this. The open borders and lawlessness there have empowered these ungrateful illegal immigrants to come here and commit crimes believing they will get scott-free.  Elections have consequences. New Yorkers and other "sanctuary cities" need to wake up. We cannot continue on this path.  

The Federal Government must also secure the border and vet whoever wants to enter this country legally. We cannot have people storming the border like a horde of zombies or walkers from the Walking Dead franchise. These thugs who attacked the NYPD officers are said to be members of gangs in South and Central America.  These are the people we are letting into our nation.

Trayvon Protests

Hours after George Zimmerman was found not guilty for manslaughter, thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in many cities around the United States.  They are crying foul.  To them, the verdict should have been guilty.  They are basing this on the idea that race was involved. 

Unfortunately, there is a social stigma that seems to follow African Americans.  They seem to be the target of injustice and abuse.  Those who fight for civil rights such as, Al Sharpton claim that Blacks are not given justice.  When they are killed, their killers are freed.

Al Sharpton is no stranger to controversy.  He is known for race baiting and seems to be present almost instantaneously whenever an African American is abused or killed by a member of another race and there is media attention around the incident.  Prior to the verdict, Sharpton has been inciting riots by claiming that Trayvon was being denied justice because of the color of his skin. The media as well has played a role in race being the issue during the trial.  They began to air reports claiming that Zimmerman was profiling Trayvon for wearing a hoodie and for being Black.  The media fed the people this lie and those who are gullible believed it and are now unhappy with our judicial system.

According to the 911 tapes, Zimmerman never describe Trayvon as Black until the operator asked him the race of the one he spotted in the neighborhood.  Trayvon was not profiled based on the evidence.  The media was wrong in presenting this to the public.  Moreover, Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have to stop race baiting. America has come far in erasing prejudice from our way of life and opening old woulds will not help.

Thousands are protesting throughout the United States ignoring President Obama's call for calm and reflection.  In California, a police car was vandalized, in New York protestors disrupted traffic and in other cities, vandalism has been reported.  In Baltimore, a Hispanic man was beaten by a group of black men as they shouted, "this is for Trayvon."

All this violence is on the hands of Sharpton, Jackson and the media.  People who are upset at the verdict must understand how our system works.  Zimmerman was judged by a jury of his peers.  They observed the evidence and found him not guilty because the evidence indicated that the whole incident was based on self-defense.  There was no evidence that Zimmerman was out to kill black boys.  

In Chicago, a 16 year old African American boy was killed by another African American for not joining a gang.  The media is silent on this.  Sharpton and company are no where to be found.  This double standard is troubling to say the least.

Sharpton and Jackson claim to be "reverends," but would Christ race bait?  Would Christ call for division?  Furthermore, Trayvon's parents have to speak out and call on peace and calm. I called on Sharpton and Trayvon's father to promote peace and calm.  May God bring peace to all and may we all be tolerant of one another.  

I am sorry for your loss.But you must call on Sharpton and all to forgive. Bad decisions were made by all involved. @BTraymartin9 #nojustice

Would Christ incite racial tension and riots? You need to call all to unity, not division. @TheRevAl

One shot too many...

WARNING:   THIS VIDEO CONTAINS VULGAR WORDS AND VIOLENCE.  

Just a few hours ago in New York City's Time Square, a man armed with a butcher's knife was gunned down.  Police followed the perpetrator until he began showing signs of aggression.  He was apparently smoking marijuana and when the police approached, he took out the knife and led them down an avenue.  Pepper spray was used, but the 51 year old did not surrender.

 I understand the need for the NYPD and its members to protect themselves, but this man only had a butcher's knife!  He could have easily been taken down by the myriads of cops that were following him.   A simple wound shot would have done the job instead of gunning him down like an animal.  It is disturbing that the perpetrator of Aurora's shootings was not gunned down while having military grade weapons in possession, but this 51 year old was who only had a kitchen knife. News sites and blogs will not light up with all kinds of views. **UPDATE AUGUST 13, 2012** The suspect who was killed is identified as: Darius H. Kennedy
