Police sources told the <i>New York Post<\/i> that Pizarro and Grant were \u201cclose friends\u201d and that Pizarro was given approval to work as a livery driver after initially being put on house arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Sources added that Pizarro, who has former gun-related and drug convictions, had driven not far from the home of Detective Dominick Libretti, who was shot in the leg during the drug raid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s just got free rein of all the boroughs,\u201d a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/we-want-everything-pelosis-san-francisco-home-vandalized-with-pigs-head-and-spray-paint\/\" title=\"\u201cWe Want Everything\u201d: Pelosi\u2019s San Francisco Home Vandalized With Pig\u2019s Head and Spray-Paint\">law enforcement source<\/a> said. \u201cSo there\u2019s pretty much no repercussions for shooting a cop.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Former NFL Player Ryan Grant<\/h3>\n<p>Grant, who won a Super Bowl with the Packers in 2011, grew up in Rockland County New York before attending the University of Notre Dame. He was injured for the majority of the Packers\u2019 2011 Super Bowl year, but still got a ring as part of the team.<\/p>\n<h3>Reaction from the Victim<\/h3>\n<p>Libretti, who spent about a week in the hospital after the shooting and had reconstructive surgery, said that he was shocked when he learned about Pizarro\u2019s reported gig.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow do you not tell me that this guy\u2019s out driving on the freeway,\u201d Libretti reportedly said. \u201cIt\u2019s just a slap in the face to the whole job.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Legal Representation<\/h3>\n<p>Pizarro was charged with first<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-ucf-running-back-shot-and-killed-father-charged\/\" title=\"Former UCF Running Back Shot And Killed, Father Charged\">-degree attempted murder<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cop-shooting-suspect-bailed-out-by-super-bowl-winning-former-running-back-working-as-for-hire-driver-report\/\" title=\"Ex-NFL player and ride-hail driver bails out cop shooting suspect: Report.\">attempted aggravated murder<\/a> of a police officer, criminal possession of a firearm, and attempted assault with a weapon. His lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, said that the bail had been set too high.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnly one side of the story has been told so far,\u201d he said. \u201cThe bail should never have been that high.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>This story highlights the controversial issue of bail and the potential consequences of bailing out suspects accused of violent crimes. It also raises questions about the responsibility of those who bail out suspects and the potential risks to public safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A suspect accused of shooting a New York City police officer who had his bond paid by a former NFL running back is now working as a for-hire driver, according to a new report.\u00a0 The New York Post reported that Nelson Pizarro, who is accused of shooting a cop during a drug search, has taken<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":200,"featured_media":1926005,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[20768,7892,6857,10506,4016,3819,26067,4300,4230],"class_list":["post-1926004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-bails","tag-cop","tag-driver","tag-ex-nfl","tag-player","tag-report","tag-ride-hail","tag-shooting","tag-suspect"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1926004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/200"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1926004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1926004\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1926005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1926004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1926004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1926004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
