Video footage shows Robert Williams walking into the 41st Precinct in the Bronx on Sunday morning and opening fire — wounding one cop in what Mayor Bill de Blasio rightly calls “an attempt to assassinate police officers.†He’s also the prime suspect in another assassination attempt the night before, when a bullet just missed the carotid artery of a cop sitting in a marked NYPD van.
This, as Police Commissioner Dermot Shea pointed out, is what comes of extreme anti-cop rhetoric. While both officers should recover fully, it’s “by the grace of God that we’re not planning a funeral.â€
Shea pointed to the recent mass “Decolonize This Place†protests, which supposedly aimed at a police-free subway system but were full of “F - - - cops†chants and graffiti.
