A New York City judge is under fire after freeing without bail a man police say tried to steal an officer's gun--just days after the assassination of a Bronx cop.
Cops say Kurdel Emmanuel, a mentally-troubled 29-year-old man, tried Saturday to wrestle the gun from a female officer who fought him off in a Brooklyn precinct house.
WNBC-TV reported that when Emmanuel was interviewed after his arrest he told police he wanted to kill a cop.
On Sunday, Emmanuel appeared before Brooklyn Judge Loren Baily-Schiffman on assault, attempted robbery and attempted criminal possession of a weapon charges.
Prosecutors requested a $250,000 bond. Instead, Baily-Schiffman released him on his own recognizance.
Her decision outraged police union leaders, according to reports.
