Join John Macari and Marlon Bethel on this explosive episode of The Finest Unfiltered as they break down two major attacks on NYPD officers that unfolded within hours of each other.

According to reports, NYPD officers approached a vehicle reported stolen when the driver suddenly accelerated, striking multiple officers, including an NYPD Sergeant. Officers opened fire, striking the suspect, who was taken into custody. Both the Sergeant and suspect are expected to recover.

John and Marlon discuss the incident, the use of force involved, and whether NYC's criminal justice system will hold the suspect accountable. We wish the Sergeant a speedy recovery and examine what charges should follow and whether Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark will aggressively prosecute the case.
