Manhattan’s new liberal district attorney on Thursday walked back a memo he sent to staff earlier this month calling for the “decriminalization/non prosecution” of crimes including marijuana possession, turnstile jumping, trespassing, resisting arrest, interfering with an arrest and prostitution.
“I understand why those who read my memo of January 3rd have been left with the wrong impression about how I will enforce New York’s laws,” DA Alvin Bragg said, according to Fox News’s Jacqui Heinrich. “I take full accountability for that confusion caused.”
He continued: “First, the purpose of the memo is to provide prosecutors with a framework for how to approach cases in the best interest of safety and justice.

Odd how when Democrats accidentally tell the truth it leads people to get the "wrong impression " such that they have to "clarify" and explain that the words they said don't really mean what they said.

Walking back a memo doesn’t mean the intent of it will change. I give NYC 2 years before it looks like the set of Escape from New York.

He'll still do it, just stop even claiming it will be safer. He doesn't care if ordinary people are murdered and maimed. He's a racist zealot, going to do what he's going to do.

He's lying. This guy is bought and paid for by Soros, and he's going to stay bought. He's just going to do it on the down low.

Demonrats lie all the time to force their policies on the paeons. He's the classic liar who's getting caught up in his own asinine policies.

A critical skill for the successful Commiecrat is lying. Still, many of them are too stupid to do it well. I'm looking at you, Sorobot! Their recovery is by this mechanism: you weren't fooled by my lie? Try this one; plenty more where that came from, too.

Talk is cheap. You don't have to defund the police if the DA ignores them. Like 99.9% of Democrats he's lying and trying to put the cat back in the bag.

This DA stepped in a pile with his “woke” non prosecution memo to his staff that immediately became public. On this issue over the next year the criminal “community” in New York City and the response to their crimes by the DA’s office are going to tell the true story.

Maybe you shouldn't open your big yapper and let the stupid dribble out like you have been doing. People are listening to you, and you cannot get out of that. We know how you are going to proceed, and it is going to be ugly. But that is because democrats are in charge, and they refuse to back off.

In a couple of years New York won't be able to be saved by Snake and Judge Dred it will be a criminal wasteland with hyenas roaming around. The racist DA said what he meant so the turnstile jumpers can smoke pot while trespassing we got the message and understand. FNYC
