Embattled Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg reversed a pair of his most controversial policies in writing on Friday with a new memo calling for commercial robberies committed with knives to once again be prosecuted as felonies.

Bragg’s memo to staff also said that holding up a store or other business with a firearm “will be charged as a felony, whether or not the gun is operable, loaded, or a realistic imitation.”

“The default in gun cases is a felony prosecution,” Bragg wrote. The moves followed widespread outrage at the soft-on-crime directives that Bragg issued to Manhattan prosecutors in a stunning “Day One” memo — exposed by The Post — just after he took office Jan. 1.

Another Soros DA to destroy another city.

A tiny amount of money spent on a DA race yields an epic amount of damage. Most bang for the buck ever spent on destabilizing the USA

Bragg isnt going reverse anything. He’s going to talk his lying crap and do what his god-less religion demands of him. You deal with people like Bragg by getting rid of them.

commercial robberies committed with knives.. on a Tuesday afternoon, when the sky is no more than 50% cloudy... and the planets are aligned.
