The lieutenant was lucky; struck in the ankle, he was able to leave the hospital just hours after surgery. It may well have been far worse if Roman\u2019s Smith &amp; Wesson hadn\u2019t jammed.<\/p>\n<p>Yet how could a thug like him be free to prowl the streets? His rap sheet lists eight felonies, 17 misdemeanors, including a sealed \u201cgang-related\u201d murder bust, as The Post reported. Just last November, he was nabbed for criminal possession of a pistol but freed on bail.<\/p>\n<p>Pols \u201chave ushered in the decade of the criminal. How many arrests are too many?\u201d fumes John Jay College of Criminal Justice adjunct professor and ex-NYPD sergeant Joseph Giacalone. And \u201cif this guy is willing to shoot a cop, what do you think he\u2019ll do to an ordinary citizen?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The strike on the lieutenant was only one of nearly 20 shootings that left at least three dead across the city, just through Sunday afternoon. That includes what police call a brazen \u201ccoordinated attack\u201d in Queens, with gunmen squeezing off 37 rounds, injuring 10 people.<\/p>\n<p>As Roman\u2019s case shows, prosecutors and judges who refuse to lock up violent thugs, along with state laws that tie their hands, are clearly as much a part of the problem as lame law-enforcement policies, like those of Mayor Bill de Blasio. If Adams becomes mayor, he\u2019ll surely have his hands full. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
