It's about 1125 in the morning.

If you've ever been in the New York City subway system, you know that you go through a turnstile in order to engage the turnstile. In the old days, you paid money and then you used a token and now you use a smart card or your smartphone or however you've accumulated the money that that the system will allow you to transfer to it. But if you think you can ride the subways for free and the police are there, you're going to have a problem. Now, normally, a fair beater, a person jumping the turnstile, would just be arrested by the cops,

would be given a desk ticket, which is basically a small fine of $100 or so. They can show up if they want and contest the charges before a judge, or they can pay it. Yesterday, a 16-year-old decided to take on the police. Now, this goes on for about a minute. We've cut it down to seven seconds, and there's a point that I want to make, which I will make after we watch the clip. Take a look. So we'll show it to you again in a few seconds. Obviously, it's fast and there's a lot of movement. The cop is the guy in the uniform and wearing

blue rubber gloves. The other fellow, the 16-year-old, is the one who jumped the turnstile. This goes on for about a minute. The cop's partner is a female who decides not to get involved. She's calling for backup. Backup eventually arrives, and they subdue this kid and arrest him. But before I tell you what happened to him after he was arrested, let's watch this one more time. Most people when they're caught by the cops fair beating, This used to be a big deal 15 or 20 years ago. And then under the de Blasio administration, the police pretty much looked the other way. That's the mayor for the past eight years. The current mayor, Eric Adams, is a former New York Police Department captain who believes the quality of life issues like fair beating should be prosecuted.

Most people, when they're caught fair beating, they accept the ticket, like a parking ticket, and then you leave. This kid, of course, decided to fight the cops. So as a result of fighting the cop, as a result of fighting this cop, he was, of course, eventually subdued, handcuffed, arrested, brought before a judge, and let out again because of the New York state law that doesn't allow bail. This is a crime of violence, and there should be bail required. This kid is back out on the streets. You wonder why there's such disrespect for the police when they do their jobs and then the perpetrator who tries to harm the cop is set free. The governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, of whom I've been harshly critical on guns and abortion, has herself been critical of this no bail law. The no bail law was the brainchild of, again, former mayor

of New York, Bill de Blasio, former governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo. But Governor Hochul, notwithstanding her words about changing the law, has done little to change it. And as long as there is this no bail law, the creeps will be back out on the street in a couple of hours. Does that make you feel safe? Judge Napolitano for judging freedom.
