Brace for Andrew Cuomos Parole Board to spring its 44th cop-killer yet another blow to law and order

No society can function without police enforcing the law, yet who can expect them to do that if thugs who kill cops don’t pay a sufficient price?As The Post reported Sunday, gangbanger David McClary — who put five bullets into the head of 22-year-old rookie Eddie Byrne — is up for parole this month, poised to become the 44th cop-killer sprung early from prison these last eight years.That’s right: Forty-three savages who had the audacity to murder cops, a clear attack on civilized society, who have already walked free.Thank the radical Parole Board members then-Gov.Andrew Cuomo appointed and the drastically relaxed rules he set up to appease the pro-criminal left.Assigned to guard the home of a witness set to testify against a druglord in 1988, Byrne was a sitting duck as he sat in his marked police car when McClary cowardly snuck up and blasted him.McClary is “clearly the most culpable and dangerous” of the slain cop’s killers, yet “he still denies any knowledge of what was going to happen,” fumes the officer’s brother, Kenneth Byrne.A guy like that should plainly never see a day of freedom again.Yet the Cuomo-dominated Parole Board has already sprung one of McClary’s accomplices, Scott Cobb.
