JUDGE LAURA JOHNSON HAD FOUR OPTIONS DURING A BAIL HEARING FOR TWO BLACK COP HATERS WHO THEREATENED TO KILL NY COPS

The judge chose to release Devon Coley and Travis Maye without bail, thereby putting the lives of NY cops at risk

On Monday, Devon Coley, 18, appeared for a bail hearing before Brooklyn Criminal Court Judge Laura Johnson. Coley had been arrested for posting an online photo of a gunman shooting into an NYPD patrol car. Coley’s Facebook post came only hours after the assassination of officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu. In addition to the photo, the post included the phrase “73Nextt”, a clear threat to officers of the 73rd precinct. The prosecutor requested bail be set at $250,000.

On Tuesday, Travis Maye, 26, appeared for a bail hearing before Judge Johnson. Maye had been arrested after fighting with cops, punching one officer in the eye and injuring him to the extent that he had to be treated at a hospital. The cops resorted to pepper spray and Taser to subdue the black thug. Once he was handcuffed, Maye yelled “I Googled all of you. Find out where you live. I don’t know about dead cops or your families. I will meet you in a bodega and get you. You will die.” The prosecutor requested that bail be set at $100,000.

Bail cannot be used as punishment. But bail can be and should be used to protect the public when there is a credible threat to its safety, in this case proven threats by two black cop haters to kill NY police officers.

At the hearings to determine bail for Coley and Maye, Judge Johnson had four options:

The judge could have (1) ordered the two black scumbags held without bail, (2) she could have set the bail as requested by the prosecutors, (3) she could have set bail in any amount she desired, and (4) she could have released them without bail.

In both cases, Judge Johnson chose the fourth option, thereby putting the lives of NY cops at risk.

After she had set Coley free without bail, a court administrator admonished her not to do the same with Maye, telling her that she should be setting an example to the public that threatening or assaulting police officers isn’t an acceptable thing.

Ignoring the court administrator’s admonishment, Judge Johnson also set Maye free without bail. And right thereafter, Bill de Blasio, that sorry ass excuse for a mayor, rewards this sorry ass excuse for a judge by reappointing her to another term on the bench.

Judge Johnson by her rulings, and de Blasio by reappointing her, both slugged every NY cop below the belt. And at a news conference, de Blasio had the nerve to condemn those cops for disrespecting him.
