The man accused of shooting and killing a 22-year NYPD veteran officer in East New York early Monday was released by a judge after a drug arrest in Coney Island last month, despite an outstanding warrant in North Carolina for a violent shooting in that state.
Authorities have arrested Lamont Pride, of Coney Island, for the shooting of the officer. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Pride, 27, was wanted for aggravated assault in North Carolina. In that case, Greensboro, N.C. police said he was one of three men involved in a dispute that led to a shooting.

Omg….this is horrible, new to me that the judiciary systme could let such a thing happen.
they let someone who murdered my friend out of jail. they only put him back after he killed a cop
#1, what are you? a new immigrant? The Justice system is blind. They will let you out if you are black, but Rubaskin gets 27 years for money fraud! now you see the US justice system is blind and freedom of speech only exists if you say politically correct statements.
Stop! this had nothing to do with the “judiciary” [sic] system or race or being politically correct.
When arrested for a misdemeanor here, NYPD ran a check on Lamont Pride (the suspect) but released him because North Carolina had a warrant but the request for extradition was only within the state.
Sad? Yes.
Bureaucratic mistake? Possibly.
Indictment of the US justice system? Far from it.
THIS is the problem!!!
NOT people who LEGALLY own guns!!!
Thugs like this, even when caught are allowed out on the street again!
Don’t blame gun manufacturers, the NRA, or legal gun owners – BLAME THE JUDGES AND THE COURT SYSTEM!!!
