(Washington Insider Magazine) – A 47-year-old homeless man who was out on bail was charged with terrorism after he made 10 threatening posts against the NYPD yesterday on Twitter in a span of 12 hours.
Arrest of Ricardo Waldron
Ricardo Waldron, a 47-year-old homeless man who was out on bail, was arrested again, this time accused of making terroristic threats against NYPD officers through videos posted on Twitter.
Waldron was arrested in Brooklyn after investigators found his social media page filled with a series of disturbing threats against NYPD officers. The suspect made 10 different threatening posts in a matter of 12 hours starting early Tuesday morning.
“Every time I remember getting hit by a cop, I will try to kill cops,” Waldron yelled in a video posted at 10:38 a.m. yesterday, quoted by New York Post.
The videos and photos he uploaded appear to have been taken on the New York subway and he was arrested while at a station at Coney Island, police said. Waldron was free after posting $10,000 bail last October in an assault and weapons possession case, sources said.
All charges are mere accusations and those charged are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
Since taking office a year ago, former NYPD Mayor Eric Adams has announced multiple times that he would double the number of NYPD officers in the subway system in a beefed-up security plan to deal with violence in the chaotic NYC subway. But so far crime and chaos have continued to thrive.
