The man who allegedly assaulted NYPD Chief of Department Terrance Monahan earlier this week has been freed without bail:
A man who allegedly punched NYPD Chief of Dept. Terrance Monahan and a lieutenant was freed on supervised release.
A woman accused of whacking an officer with a cane was held on $7,500 bail.
This triggered fury from Mayor de Blasio and police brass.https://t.co/IYzqLZ6M0z

And Mayor Bill de Blasio is “very unhappy” about it:

OK, clown. Then talk to all the Dems in the city cheerleading for no bail:
"That doesn't make sense to me," @NYCMayor said when asked how he feels about a protester charged with attacking police officers being released on bail.

“There need to be consequences,” he said:
The man who allegedly attacked @NYPDChiefofDept on the BK Bridge has been released without bail. The @NYCMayor he is "not happy about that. There needs to be consequences, this is why we need our court system up and running,"

Chief Monahan isn’t pleased, either:
Quran Campbell is captured on video for the nation to witness him viciously assault 3 cops in uniform — 1 who lost consciousness. Judge Robert Rosenthal’s reckless decision to release Mr. Campbell WITHOUT BAIL endangers every NYer and the officers who risk it all to protect them. pic.twitter.com/yDBDt3oKaP

Catch, release . . . and then don’t prosecute:
The numbers released by NYPD today show a big drop in gun arrests. But @NYPDShea says it's not the gun arrests, it's what happens when a person is arrested and then not prosecuted: We don't need more gun arrests, we need people who are caught to be prosecuted accordingly,"

"Sometimes there's too many arrests, and sometimes there is not enough arrests, and it's a fluid situation," @NYPDShea says it's not just an arrest, but what happens after. He stresses essentially that the bail laws in place are not meeting what he sees as the mark.

"The arrest is almost irrelevant, what happens to the prosecution?" @NYPDShea . There's been a 67 % drop in gun arrests in the last few weeks. "There's a lot of pieces to this, other laws, in this environment, people should be standing up on highest step to say I demand safety,"
