The unholy alliance behind cop killers parole: ex-cons, George Soros and two NY governors

Convicted cop killers should never walk free, but New York’s soft-on-crime parole board is poised to release its 44th such monster since 2017.For this injustice, you can blame mayoral wannabe Andrew Cuomo and his criminal-coddling successor, Gov.Kathy Hochul.Also to blame is a network of George Soros-funded pro-crime advocacy groups — call it the decarceration-industrial complex — putting constant pressure on Albany lawmakers.One of these groups, Release Aging People in Prison, is run by a man who is himself out on parole after being convicted of the attempted murder of an NYPD sergeant.  You can’t make this up.The parole “reform” agenda in Albany is driven largely by ex-cons, bankrolled by extreme leftists. Later this month cop killer David McClary will go before the state Parole Board.
