Is it or is it not OK to attack the police?

Is it or is it not OK to attack the police; it appears to be that it depends on who you are. The January 6th protesters got years in prison for assaulting police; however, the New York City migrants that attacked New York City police officers were released and fled the state. Democrat juries and judges will convict those who they see as their enemies and release those they see as their friends regardless of evidence. Is that equal justice?

Migrants accused of assaulting NYPD officers were arrested and released. Now, they’re California-bound, a source says | CNN


CNN —
Four migrant men charged with felonies in an attack on two New York City Police Department officers Saturday outside a migrant shelter are en route to a California town near Mexico after they were released from custody and given bus tickets by a faith-based charity, a senior law enforcement official said.
The four men were among at least seven people arrested in the incident. They were staying in a New York City shelter, used false names with the charity, the source told CNN. It was not immediately clear who the four are among the group arrested this week in connection with the weekend incident.
Investigators say even though the defendants allegedly used false names with the charity and could be going to Mexico by way of Calexico, California, “we have no legal authority to chase them or attempt to stop them” because the Manhattan district attorney did not request bail and the defendants were released on their own recognizance, the law enforcement source said.
I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.

One of those charged is being held and was indicted by a grand jury. Five were released because the evidence against them was too flimsy to hold them. "We have no legal authority to chase them or attempt to stop them" because the police know that they would never meet the burden required to get them extradited. Perhaps if the police hadn't chosen to showboat by arresting so many prematurely, and had instead focused their efforts on gathering enough evidence to hold them, they wouldn't have cause to be whining now.

Proverbs 29:9 (ESV)
If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
