He promised change. The people of NYC wanted change. After 10 months in office, Manhattan DA has nothing to Bragg about
Since taking office in January, the former civil rights lawyer and a former federal prosecutor have overseen a 30.5% surge in major crimes in Manhattan compared to the same time in 2021, NYPD data through Oct. 30 show. Citywide, the spike is at 29.6%.
Crime is rampant in the Midtown South Precinct, whose confines are a hub for city workers, residents, and tourists and includes Times Square, Penn Station, and Macy’s flagship store in Herald Square. Murders this year are up 14% (24 from 21) from 2021, while burglaries have jumped 45% (2,476 from 1,710), grand larceny has increased a whopping 53% (9,648 from 6,295) and robbery has soared 32% (1,785 from 1,356).
Who would have thought that being soft-on-crime and vilifying police at ever turn would have negative impacts on the crime rates? (Anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together, that's who.)
New Yorkers are set to reelect Kathy "No Cash Bail" Hochul. They elected Alvin Bragg and the useless mayor. And now crime is out of control. They got what they asked for, but maybe they didn't get what they wanted.
