A former lawyer who torched an NYPD police car with a Molotov cocktail at a George Floyd protest in Brooklyn was sentenced to more than a year in prison Friday.
Brooklyn federal court Judge Brian Cogan admonished Urooj Rahman before handing down the 15-month sentence, calling the firebombing an “attack on the rule of law” carried out by someone who took an oath to uphold the Constitution.
In the United States, Cogan told Rahman, you “go to the ballot box, not the bomb” if you’re driven to fight for social justice. He added she showed an “amazing level of arrogance” with the attack.
“What a bomb does cannot be undone,” the jurist said.
Rahman copped to conspiracy to commit arson in June for the May 29, 2020, firebombing near the 88th Precinct station house in Fort Greene. Under the plea deal, federal prosecutors from the Eastern District of New York said they would seek a maximum two-year prison sentence for Rahman.
Rahman, accompanied by fellow lawyer Colinford Mattis, hurled a Motolov cocktail at the unoccupied police car as protests over the Minneapolis, Minn., police killing of George Floyd raged on the streets of Brooklyn that night.
