A Bronx man whipped a plastic stick at an NYPD detective’s head as he investigated a Queens burglary scene, police said Monday.
The brazen attack was caught on video, and police soon arrested the suspect on multiple charges.
Welcome to NYC!
Even as our Detectives investigate crimes they’re attacked by emboldened criminals, who have quickly realized there are no consequences for law breakers in our city.

The detective was looking into a burglary on Prince St. at 39th Ave. in Flushing at 11:50 a.m. Monday, standing outside a storefront filling out paperwork, when the attacker, 25-year-old Akeele Morgan, struck, cops said.
The suspect wore a brown hoodie and a mask, and carried a plastic stick in each hand. He walked up to the detective, hit him on the side of the face, and started walking away.
Officers chased him down and arrested him The detective was taken to New York Presbyterian-Queens Hospital with minor injuries.
The Detectives’ Endowment Association posted video of the attack on its Twitter account Monday night.
“Once again, New Yorkers witness just how emboldened violent criminals are as a detective in uniform is attacked in Queens today,” said DEA president Paul DiGiacomo. “If there’s anyone wondering why this happened, they can ask their elected officials who have created a city of no consequences for criminality.”
Even so, Morgan faces several felony and misdemeanor charges, including assault on a police officer. He awaits arraignment in Queens criminal court.
DiGiacomo said Monday the suspect “needs to be prosecuted fully for his actions” and that the union may file a civil action against him.

Hey LeBron, one of your heroes, a black criminal attacked an innocent police officer. LeBron, this criminal is a “racist” for attacking a White police officer.
Police should be required to wear track shoes as part of their uniform. They need every edge they can get now.
AND to have fitness tests every 6 months, to ensure they are not overweight!
Just don’t wear Nikes.
That’s one thing i often ASK cops about.. WHY is it they require fitness tests to get IN, but once in, nothing.. No annual run. No push ups/pull ups or anything.
“White Detective Investigating Queens Burglary Attacked From Behind By Black Man With Stick”
This is perfectly acceptable.
“If there’s anyone wondering why this happened, they can ask their Democrat Party elected officials who have created a city of no consequences for criminality.” 🙁 🙁 🙁
Imported primitive cultures don’t mesh with a native culture base on the law and freedom. Not politically correct? So what
Was this really imported or is it homegrown, compliments of a long list of rabblerousers culminating and hugely accelerated by B. Hussain O.?
Probably an even mix of both.
What’s the betting, if/when he is arrested, the liberal DA will either
A) LET Him go with no charges
or B) let him go with no bail…
What would have happened if it was a black thug hit by a white cop?
Why would the cop be HITTING the thug?
Where’s the RACISM??
White cop, black assailant….
I keep forgetting. It’s only racist if a white person does something to a black person. They keep telling us that it’s impossible for blacks to be racist, only whites, ALL whites, are racist. Whites are “born” that way.
Too bad somebody didn’t take those rods the assailant had, and shove them where the sun don’t shine.
Hell, i wouldn’t be surprised to see lots of blacks on twitter or facebook, CELEBRATING what that thug did.
Yeah… Defunding the police is a SURE FIRE way to put an end to all that violence (don’t you think?)!
What IDIOTS in Liberal Cities/States!
That was a hate crime. But nothing about this from ABC or CBS ???
OF course its not a hate crime oNLY WHITES are ever guilty of that..
Let’s adopt the Singapore method of punishing these idiots.
A good public Flogging… I like it.
I’m sure Obama would say it could have been his son. Nothing will happen…now if he was white, that would be a different story.
Our wonderful 13%-ers at it again….
History teaches us that appeasement just makes an aggressor more aggressive… one of these days, the “silent majority” is going to finally stand up… then all these thugs will be taken care of once and for all.
I sure hope so.
THEN what more will it take, for us ‘majority’, to STOP BEING SILENT and stand the hell up!
Judging by violent crimes committed against another race, blacks are the most racist in America. They even admitted it on a Rasmussen poll from 2013 often quoted by Ben Shapiro. The media’s and White House’s opposite “narrative” aka as LIES should be called out by every defender of the Republic.
And New York is crying that they will be losing electoral votes and a house seat because of declining population from Cuomo’s stupid ideas. Gee, I wonder why there’s a mass exodus from that raw sewage state.
PITY all those fleeing, will more than likely, be BRINGING THEIR SEWER IDEOLOGIES with them..
