During the meeting, Bragg promised he would create a fracture between the New York City Police Department and the Manhattan DA office
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said during his campaign that racial equity needed to be a priority and that he didn’t believe thievery should be prosecuted since it was a “crime of poverty.”
During the May 2021 meeting, Bragg articulated his intention to focus on racial equity instead of prosecuting theft.
“I grew up with friends disappearing over charges like that (theft) and even if there is an alternative [to incarceration, such as diversion programs, there is a] consequence of disruption for the family. We need to asking, ‘Does something make us safer?’ And prosecuting a young person, even if it doesn’t end in incarceration [such as in diversion programs], in my view does not make us safer,” he said. “I think we need to move away from what I would call a crime of poverty.”
He only goes after Republicans running for President !!!!!!
Giving people a license to steal, what an idiot !
well isnt it theft that Bragg says Trump is accused of
It’s a crime of laziness.
