Illegal immigrant who attacked cop in Times Square sentenced to one year in jail—NYPD union outraged
“364 days is not enough. This individual should be behind bars a lot longer. If you attack a New York City police officer, you should stay behind bars.”
An illegal immigrant from Venezuela is going to jail for 364 days for kicking a New York Police Department (NYPD) cop during a Jan. 27 Times Square brawl. The police union says the sentence is way too light, the New York Post reports.
Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, 19, said nothing but smirked when he heard the sentence after he had pleaded guilty to second-degree assault last month to the brawl between police officers and a gang of illegal immigrants. Fully 75 percent of arrests in midtown Manhattan are illegal immigrants.
The police union says the sentence doesn’t send a strong enough signal that cops are not on the street to be kicked around by illegal immigrants. Police Benevolent Association chief Patrick Hendry said Gomez-Izquiel should have more time in prison to contemplate his actions.
