Brace for Andrew Cuomo’s Parole Board to free its – Latest News
No society can operate with out police implementing the law, but who can anticipate them to try this if thugs who kill cops don’t pay a enough price?
As The Post reported Sunday, gangbanger David McClary — who put 5 bullets into the pinnacle of 22-year-old rookie Eddie Byrne — is up for parole this month, poised to change into the forty fourth cop-killer sprung early from jail these final eight years.
That’s proper: Forty-three savages who had the audacity to homicide cops, a clear assault on civilized society, who’ve already walked free.
Thank the unconventional Parole Board members then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo appointed and the drastically relaxed guidelines he set up to appease the pro-criminal left.
Assigned to guard the home of a witness set to testify towards a druglord in 1988, Byrne was a sitting duck as he sat in his marked police car when McClary cowardly snuck up and blasted him.

McClary is “clearly the most culpable and dangerous” of the slain cop’s killers, but “he still denies any knowledge of what was going to happen,” fumes the officer’s brother, Kenneth Byrne.
A man like that ought to plainly by no means see a day of freedom again.
Yet the Cuomo-dominated Parole Board has already sprung one of McClary’s accomplices, Scott Cobb.

Its parole presents for quite a few different cop-killers are equally outrageous:
David Gilbert, one of 1981 Brinks truck robbers.
Herman Bell and Anthony Bottom, who assassinated two officers, Waverly Jones and Joseph Piagentini.
Richard Rivera, who murdered Officer Robert Walsh execution-style.
And on and on. . . .
Good for Mayor Eric Adams, himself an ex-cop, for demanding the Parole Board deny McClary’s release.
GOP mayoral hopeful Curtis Sliwa echoes that: “No one who murders a police officer should ever see the light of day again.” Hear, hear.
Cuomo, the writer of this “free cop-killers” madness, can also be working for mayor. Yet how might anticipate the NYPD, which he’d oversee, to respect him as its boss?
Nor ought to he anticipate the police union to endorse him.
Ditto for Gov. Kathy Hochul and different pro-crime lawmakers, who’ve equally made simpler for perps to win parole.
Frankly, it’s exhausting to see why anybody who needs to dwell in a civilized world would back pols like these, as long as they keep placing the pursuits of cop-killers above those that search public security.
