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."

Not prosecuting theft to achieve "racial equity?". What if the victim is a poor elderly black woman who is just on her way back from the pharmacy after picking up her medications? What equity does she receive?
Bragg needs to be removed for violating his oath of office to uphold the laws of his city.

Alvin is a walking and talking POS. He should be prosecuted for not doing his job. Very sad that the people of New York put up with this kind of BS.

The undying 'term' owes its longevity to scum like Bragg and the lowlife thugs his ilk unleashes on what's left of civilization.

Then WHY does this clown even have a job and collect pay for it? The title is "Prosecutor", NOT "Enabler".

A gang of Amish should pay his abode a visit and help themselves to whatever he has. He pretty much has given them an open invitation.

Liberals are supremely stupid. I come in contact with them occasionally, and it’s all I can do to be civil. They’re just stupid.

The Babylon Bee doesn’t post satire, they post the truth a couple of weeks in advance.

Apparently not. One thread is going on about how civilized and cool the chinks are.
