Cops can't find some bolt cutters
if its anything like the first responders I have dealt with, they probably have some, but they aren't trained/approved to use them, and will sit by and watch civilians suffer because of union or jurisdictional rules.

Handcuffs have keys, they’re all the same
 

Criminal Who Slugged NY Post Reporter, Previously Slashed Two On Subway, On The Lam: NYPD​


Two years ago a stranger sucker punched me in the ribs as I walked to work, and I became another one of the countless New Yorkers doubly victimized by a violent criminal and a broken justice system.

The bruise went away in a few days. But the fear and feeling of helplessness — foreign to me as The Post’s police bureau chief — lingered.

Over the last few weeks, as I learned a lot more about the man who attacked me for no other reason than he could, I felt a new emotion: anger.

The NYPD released surveillance photos of Kamieo Caines after he allegedly slashed two men inside the Fulton Street subway station in 2017. He went to prison for weapons possession and was paroled in 2022.

Cops have identified the suspect in my attack as Kamieo Caines, 36, a hulking homeless man with 20 prior arrests for violent crimes, including assault and weapon possession, according to police sources. He has spent time in prison and was on parole when he attacked me, I was told.

He’s done this many times before — and as unbelievable as it seems — is free as I write this.

He was convicted in 2019 in the bloody attack on two men with a box cutter during the evening rush inside the Fulton Street subway station in Manhattan on Dec. 17, 2017.

Despite his proven record of violence, Caines was discharged from Collins Correctional Facility in Erie County on Jan. 18, 2022. His parole ends on April 29, 2025.

Just 18 months after he was freed, he slugged me out of the blue as I walked down Chambers Street on the morning of Aug. 8, 2023 — just a few blocks from NYPD headquarters, where I work.

Eighteen months later, Caines is still running free. The statute of limitations runs out in my case on Aug. 8.

Even though I did everything I could to help cops catch him — shouting for help, taking pictures as he fled, flagging down an officer, reporting the crime, and helping police identify the suspect — my case went nowhere, one of so many lost in the system’s failure to act on common sense.
