NYC Armed Robberies Increased 19.4% In One Week
2022-01-11


[Daily Mail] A prayer vigil for Bayron-Nieves will be held of Thursday night at the Burger King in Harlem.

The fatal robbery comes as New York City's crime rate soars after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's controversial decision to downgrade burglary, armed robbery and drug dealing crimes felonies to misdemeanors.

The number of robberies has since increased by 19.4 percent over the course of the last week.

Meanwhile, former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton lashed out at Bragg, claiming the city's new woke top prosecutor is 'handcuffing the police' as authorities search for Bayron-Nieves killer, while blaming George Soros for Bragg's election.

Current NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell echoed Bratton's claims, and slammed the new policy as she considered it a 'danger' to officers.

Bratton, who said that Soros has 'effectively destroyed the criminal justice system in America,' called Bragg's woke policies of downgrading burglary, armed robbery and drug dealing from felonies to just misdemeanors a 'recipe for disaster.'

#1  Are they *really* robberies if no one is charged? It's like the cat isn't *really* dead until you open the box and look.
