NYPD Detective attacked with stick in broad daylight, suspect chased and arrested
2021-04-28
[TRENDINGVIEWS.CO] A NYPD detective was attacked while he was just standing there doing his job, minding his own business, when out of nowhere a man came over and hit him on the head with a stick.

The person stood there looking confused for a second, the detective fell over, and then cops pursued the suspect on foot.

It's unclear what happened after the video stopped recording, but a later news report said the suspect was arrested.

CBS Local reported, "It happened just before noon while the detective was investigating a burglary on Prince Street in Flushing, Queens. Police arrested 25-year-old Akeele Morgan. He faces multiple charges, including assault on a police officer."

#8  The judge cannot slap his wrist. Before that is even possible, a judge would have to GET the case presented in court. Whether of not that might happen is NOT up to the judge, as we are seeing nightly in Portland, OR.

#5  Well the perp has to be out in order to attend the parade the Mayor is holding. Can't have the guest of honor missing out - that's racist.

#4  NN2N1,that's obviously a racist law. With the right judge, the perp should be out in a day or two. /sarcasm

The laws is clear... according to NY Penal Code.
The judge cannot slap his wrist.

NY Penal Law Section 120.11 - Aggravated assault upon a police officer or a peace officer

A person is guilty of aggravated assault upon a police officer or a peace officer when, with intent to cause serious physical injury to a person whom he knows or reasonably should know to be a police officer or a peace officer engaged in the course of performing his official duties, he causes such injury by means of a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument.

Aggravated assault upon a police officer or a peace officer is a Class B

or a Class C felony for just assault.

The idiot is looking at a possible sentence of 20 years in prison and a big file.

Because assault on a peace officer is also classified as a violent felony, the judge is required to impose at least a minimum sentence of 3+ years in prison. Even if the idiot has no prior convictions.
