VIDEO: Driver Out on Bail for Alleged Attempted Murder Drags NYPD Officer with Car
A New York City driver who was out on bail for allegedly committing attempted murder was caught dragging a police officer with his car Friday, according to a video.
The video, released by the New York Police Department (NYPD), showed the officer conducting a routine traffic stop. When the officers determined the driver was unfit to operate a motor vehicle, they asked him to step out of the vehicle.

At that point, the suspect placed the car in reverse, running over the officer who stopped him, according to the video.
The suspect, identified as Takim Newson, was driving in Brooklyn when the NYPD stopped him for being double-parked and having tinted windows, the police told Fox News.
The NYPD said Newson (pictured) was slurring his speech and admitted to smoking marijuana before the officers stopped him.
The officer suffered minor injuries, including bumps and bruises on his legs and back pain. He received treatment at a local hospital and was then released.
The 32-year-old suspect then allegedly broke into a Queens home and threatened a 66-year-old woman by pretending he was armed.
After the alleged burglary, Newson then carjacked a Jaguar sedan, police said.
Police later arrested him in Suffolk County, Long Island, after the stolen car’s license plates triggered a license plate reader, the New York Post reported.
In addition to the attempted murder charge, Newson also faces charges of burglary and assault on a police officer, police said.
Newson was arrested this month on attempted murder charges at his mother’s home in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, after he fled New York City for allegedly attempting to rob a bar and shoot a person in the groin on Valentine’s Day.
Prosecutors ordered that he be held in custody pending trial, but a judge released him without bond despite Newson’s lawyer requesting a $50,000 bond.
NYC Mother Charged with the Murders of Her Newborn Twins
A mother in Queens was charged Friday with the murders of her six-week-old twins at their apartment, police said.
According to the New York Post, “Danezja Kilpatrick was hit with multiple counts of murder, acting in a manner injurious to a child, and criminal possession of a weapon,” police told the outlet.
“Kilpatrick’s infants — Dakota and Dallis Bentley — were found at about 3:10 p.m. Thursday during a police wellness check at an apartment in the Woodside Houses at 51st Street at 32nd Avenue,” the report said.
The boy was found inside a crib and had what appeared to be stab wounds, police sources told the outlet.
When officers asked Kilpatrick about the girl, “She pointed towards the sink,” NYPD Housing Chief David Barrere said Thursday during a press briefing.
The girl was found wrapped in a pink blanket beneath the kitchen sink, according to police and sources.
The babies were pronounced dead at the scene, the Post article said, adding the mother reportedly told officers when she was taken into custody, “I can’t take it anymore.”
“It hit hard because I was crying last night when I heard it. They innocent babies. They didn’t deserve that,” Nicole Bickett, a neighbor and mom to three children, told CBS New York.
Officers got to the scene after Kilpatrick’s cousin called 911 due to concern about the babies.
Sources alleged Kilpatrick said, “I do not want them,” when police arrived to perform the wellness check, the CBS report continued:
Police recovered a knife from the scene and took Kilpatrick, 23, in for questioning. According to sources, Kilpatrick has an extensive psychiatric history in Yonkers, where she recently moved from. Police records show she was accused in at least one domestic violence incident involving her sister.
The exact cause of death for the babies is being determined and officials said they were born on March 7. The investigation into the case is ongoing.
BLM Co-Founder Calls for ‘Abolished’ Criminal Justice System After Floyd, Bryant Deaths
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors posted a video to her Instagram page Thursday saying people must “fight” for an “abolished” criminal justice system after the murder of George Floyd and police-involved shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant.
She did say that the verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial for the murder of George Floyd was a “victory in accountability” but not a victory in getting rid of the criminal justice system.
“While we watched Derek Chauvin be convicted for murder, a black child named Ma’Khia Bryant was murdered by police, proving there is no justice. We must fight for abolition because in an abolitionist world, we would still have George Floyd and Ma’Khia Bryant,” Cullors wrote in her Instagram post.
She said in the video that activists must “fight for more” and “get us closer to a place where there are no jails or prisons or surveillance” in the U.S.
A jury found Chauvin guilty of all charges Tuesday for murdering Floyd after he kneeled on Floyd’s neck for several minutes during an arrest in Minneapolis in May 2020.
Jut minutes before Chauvin’s conviction, Bryant was fatally shot by a police officer after brandishing a knife in Columbus, Ohio.
Cullors has recently come under scrutiny for buying four homes worth a grand total of $3 million while she was promoting her activism.
Cullors pushed back against those claims in an April 16 interview, saying that there is no conflict of interest with her left-wing politics and ownership of four homes because she was providing for her extended family.
Nolte: Minneapolis Black Business Owners Plead for Help in No-Go-Zone
Black-owned businesses trapped in the Minneapolis no-go zone where George Floyd was murdered by a police officer are pleading for, among other things, help from police, reports the New York Post:
Black merchants near the once-thriving corner of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue said police have abandoned the blocked-off intersection, creating a dangerous autonomous zone that has seen crime spike and business evaporate.
“The city left me in danger,” the owner of Smoke In The Pit restaurant told The Post Thursday.
“They locked us up on here and left us behind,” said the merchant, who asked to be identified only as Alexander W. for fear of reprisals.
“They left me with no food, no water, nothing to eat,” Alexander told the Post. “The police, fire trucks, can’t come in here.”
Welcome to one more Democrat-run city more interested in pushing lies about systemic racism than actually fulfilling its primary obligation: keeping its citizens safe and ensuring they can freely go about the business of living their lives and making a living.
The Post reports that the no-go zone is empty of consumers. Hardly any customers come anymore because they know it’s unsafe and are likely to be harassed (or worse) by the left-wing terrorists in Black Lives Matter and Antifa, not mention the criminals and gangs who roam free without fear of police.
“The black-owned businesses say they have lost 75-percent of their business since the Floyd memorial sprouted up shortly after his death” and “feel they have been the sacrificial lambs” at the hands of a Democrat-run city.
One of the terrorists who oversees what’s called “George Floyd Square,” an area that is literally blockaded, dismissed concerns of the business owners and residents, and added this: gang members “keep us safe in their own way.”
Imagine living and trying to do business like this for more than a year. It’s outrageous and only hurting the very people – black Americans – Democrats claim they want to help.
But Democrats have no interest in helping anyone other than themselves — and if every Blue City in America has to be burned to the ground in order to hide the fact that Democrats cannot handle the most basic tasks of governing (and nothing is more basic than keeping people safe) – they will see to it that those cities burn.
Minneapolis has been governed by Democrats for more than 40 years. Republicans are so outnumbered they have no say whatsoever in how the city is run, and look at what’s happening to this once great metropolis, the once great Twin Cities.
As bad as I feel for the victims of this no-go zone, it seems fair to ask what they intend to do about it. Will they vote for change, or will they vote more of the same? Will Minneapolis continue to cast their votes based on stupid issues like systemic racism that have nothing to do with the basics of governing (snow removal, filling potholes, safety, garbage pickup), or will they finally wise up and focus on quality of life issues?
Truth be told, I don’t really care. Out here where I live, in Rural America, we all own guns and have no gun violence or a violent crime crisis. People out here of all races and creeds live together in peace without any racial tensions. Our air, water, and streets are safe and clean.
You get what you vote for, so I’m just curious how long the people of Minneapolis are going to vote for race riots, arson, violence, despair, bad policing, and looting.
