Soft-on-crime District Attorney Alvin Bragg was spotted by The Post brush in hand, lost in a watercolor sketch, as part of his “art of healing” July workshop series.
The choice of location was no coincidence — the northwest corner of the park has spiraled into a depraved drug den, with syringes littering the ground and zombies shooting up on park benches and under trees.
Moments before Bragg began painting a tree in watercolor, the city’s drug crisis blossomed in real time a few feet away.
Police officers tried to revive a glassy-eyed junkie slumped on a bench — and workers from the nonprofit Drug Policy Alliance were seen covertly slipping free syringes to addicts.
The needles are part of so-called “harm reduction kits” the $13 million pro-drug non-profit touts online.
They come complete with drug paraphernalia that includes syringes, alcohol wipes, cotton, tourniquets and cookers, according to the group.
It’s unclear how long the group – which was founded in 1994 with funding from far left-billionaire George Soros and lobbied for marijuana legalization – has been operating in the junkie-filled section of the park.
Soros is the Drug Policy Alliance’s chief donor and previous chairman. His son Alex Soros still sits on its board.

It’s time for NYC to kick that fat pig to the curb!
Hey! Hey! Hey! When is FAT Alvin going to be thrown in prison? Lock his fat butt up!
Bring back vagrancy law enforcement and 30-days-on-the-farm.
Pronto.
What staggering virtue signaling!
Soft-on-crime Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg scored free seats to 17 swanky galas last year
Typical Dem jackassery. The DA doing community service as perps walk around the city free on no bail.

Just wait until mandami becomes mayor.
I can’t imagine the paint would be good for the trees.
👍
Drug Policy Alliance’s “harm reduction kits” are wrong on so many levels.

Bragg’s paintings suggest he graduated from The Hank Johnson School of the Arts.
HA!
