Dems In Damage Control Mode Over ‘Thug-Hugging’ Police Bigwig Tied To Gang Shooting

A former Westchester County police deputy commissioner, Jennifer Lackard, has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly aiding her son, a gang member, in a shooting incident. Authorities allege that Lackard and her ex-con husband drove the getaway car for her son, Chase Lackard, who fired at a rival gang member in the Bronx. The case has sparked political backlash against Democrats, particularly in Mount Vernon, where the city has become increasingly liberal. Despite the severity of the charges, local Democrats have shown little interest in addressing the matter directly, while Governor Kathy Hochul's office issued a vague condemnation of police misconduct. State Senator Jamaal Bailey acknowledged the seriousness of the allegations but argued that the behavior was unforeseeable. The incident highlights tensions between progressive policing reforms and accountability within law enforcement.
