It is reprehensible that violent individuals assaulted two NYPD police officers – ten of them attacking and viciously kicking them in the face. Their release is the prime example of the failure of New York's "Bail Reform" laws.

As Gov. Hochul cheers DA Katz's so-called "landslide" victory in the Queens DA Democratic Primary with less than 8% of the electorate turning out to vote, NYS's Criminal Justice System continues to sink into chaos. Gov. Hochul's tenure cheered on by DA Katz has been an abysmal
