The New York City Police Department (NYPD) has interviewed the man they believe is responsible for driving his car through a crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters in Times Square on Thursday night. The man was reportedly released without charges.

According to Gothamist, the car’s license plates are registered to “pro-NYPD activist” Hakim Gibson. The Associated Press cited the Gothamist when reporting the same.

Cellphone-captured footage of the black car ramming its way through several demonstrators quickly went viral online.

“NYPD asks if there is anyone injured, please come forward,” the law enforcement agency said on Twitter.

Critics took issue with that approach.

“You don’t need a complaint to file charges,” noted attorney Rebecca Kavanaugh. “It’s on video tape. You file charges without complainants all the time. That’s reckless endangerment, reckless driving, attempted assault right there on tape. Hey, you could even charge attempt murder if you wanted to.”

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. I am so fucking sick of this shit

[Mystery sage]

2. Did these people forget how to do their job? seriously wondering here.

[quakerboy]

11. This is them doing their jobs

Their job from start to finish is to protect the property of the wealthy, and then to protect themselves. Thats it, thats all. Anything else they do is just private hobbies they get to indulge on the clock.

the only reason they would have any problem with the guy who tried to run people down is that they didnt get to do it themselves. They are one of the more vengeful gangs in the USA

[Iggo]

3. Hey NYPD. Imagine he drove through a bunch of Cops.

Same. Fucking. Thing.

Now.

What would you charge him with?

[bluestarone]

4. Evidently someone has to be dead

Before they charge anybody? WTF???

[Illumination]

5. That's downright corruption! No wonder police reform is needed so badly...

[Evolve Dammit]

6. This is absolute bullshit.

[sakabatou]

7. WTF?!

[2naSalit]

8. Well...

Since the cops have declared war on objection to their criminal behavior, we can expect a lot more of this.

[spudspud]

10. +1 Exactly. /nt

[diverdownjt]

21. Your word choice is absolute precision....

"Declared war on objection to their criminal behavior"

That is exactly where we are!!!

Well said.

[2naSalit]

23. Thanks.

I try to keep it short.

[bluestarone]

9. Wonder if there is any chance that hi-ups in NY could get involved?

To investigate this further?

[warmfeet]

12. There may not be charges.

There will be consequences.

[rockfordfile]

13. Corruption

[bucolic_frolic]

14. we need to make unequal application of the laws a criminal offense

not on a hair-trigger, but on the basis of fitting the facts and circumstances when viewed from the reverse circumstances as well

[mahina]

15. Is it an issue of finding someone to make a complaint w standing

Or can the state be that?

[PSPS]

17. No. The government is the only entity that has standing in all criminal cases.

This sounds like a case of outright corruption.

[mahina]

18. Well that sucks. How the hell?

[BamaRefugee]

16. Let's get D.A.Cyrus Vance Jr. on the case! He's incorruptible!

[electric_blue68]

19. One of the protesters did file a complaint...

Sat.
think he said a gashed leg, and some broken ribs.

Besides that -
the fact someone deliberately ramned their car through a crowd of people especially with the added weight of being their polititical opponents, that driver should be in jail NOW!

He admitted what he did at a precient.
What the hell do you need to "investigate" ?!??!!

[stillcool]

20. I've read that Trump will start a war...

if he can't win. I just didn't know it would be here.

[bluestarone]

22. KICK!

THIS has to be investigated FURTHER!!!
