Alvin Bragg promises not to prosecute theft to establish 'racial equity' balance: 'Crime of poverty'
I'm starting to think that America will not survive the nigger. J Robert Oppenheimer was wrong, nuclear weapons are not the destroyer of worlds. Niggers are.
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."
Bragg was speaking to a group from Young New Yorkers in May 2021. The organization "applies a racial justice framework to… all levels of operations" as it diverts individuals facing charges under the age of 25 from the criminal justice system.https://www.foxnews.com/media/alvin-...-crime-povertyBragg said his overall intention was to "Shrin[k] the footprint" of the criminal justice system.
A campaign webpage, which has since been scrubbed, said Bragg believed crimes that disproportionately incarcerate Black people are "morally indefensible" to enforce.
