On top of everything else menacing the city these days, Judge Laurie Peterson is at it again — springing an accused looter charged with bashing a cop’s head with a glass bong.
Peterson last week freed Kevin Bullock without bail, though prosecutors cited solid evidence, including surveillance video, against him.
After 2 a.m. on June 1, police spotted thieves ransacking a Lower East Side smoke shop. Resisting arrest, one of them slammed a cop in the back of the head with a stolen glass pipe hard enough to cause a concussion, then fled.
The NYPD Warrant Section ID’d Bullock from the video and went to arrest him at his Brooklyn home Wednesday — but he reportedly tried to flee again, crawling out a window and jumping from a fire escape, breaking his ankle.
Yet Peterson denied prosecutors’ request to demand bail of $25,000.
She plainly didn’t learn from her error in 2016, when she similarly overrode prosecutors to spring a defendant accused of unprovoked assault on a woman in Greenwich Village — and that man went on to allegedly slash the faces of two other women, including one the day after she freed him.
Justice is supposed to be blind, not insane.
