Alvin Bragg must be worried he is the talk of the town. He brought former President Donald Trump to court, and the condemnation against his decision was like a dam let loose. The public believed the decision was political. And now, another case involving Jordan Neely dying from a chokehold in the subway does not seem to go his way. Daniel Penny, arraigned for Neely's death, is described as a hero by eyewitnesses in the incident.
They said Penny saved their lives. You have to live or work in New York and use the subway to understand the message from eyewitnesses. They say traveling on the train is comfort without threat to life. But safety is only sometimes the case. People long enough in the city talked about a time the tunnel was the opposite of safety. Then, they said Mayor Rudy Guliano came and saved the situation, with safety restored round the clock.
The situation gradually changed following the time of two mayors after Guliano. Mayor R. Bloomberg maintained subway safety. Bill de Blasio did the same, somehow. However, Mayor Eric Adams is in the middle of the riotous development left partly by De Blasio, festered by Defund the Police demand. Moreover, news reports show that prosecutors recently elected on the platform of the Democratic Party in major cities across the United States frown on prosecuting non-serious offenders and ballooned crime wave. Hence, Covid-19 and people without housing turning the subway into a home in Big Apple exacerbates the matter.
Based on confirmed reports of dangerous and widespread incidents across the city, people fear the city and the subway. And that brings Bragg into the middle of the matter in the town that does not sleep, saving Mayor Adam from culpability. People say crime has festered in the city in Bragg's time as a prosecutor because he does not prosecute non-serious offenders and that non-serious offenders see that as an excuse to unleash mayhem.
New York City is not the only place affected by the emergence of a set of Democratic Party progressive prosecutors. However, they were elected by the people but imposed by their will. Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Baltimore suffer the same fate as New York. Still, Bragg was condemned for Trump's arraignment, allowing crime to jump while seeking prosecution for political gain. In a piece captioned "As Crime Surges, Roll Back of Tough on-Crime Policies Faces Resistance," the New York Times reports, "Rising homicide and violent crime rates have even Democrats in liberal cities calling for more law enforcement, not less - forcing prosecutors ... "
Although, the Center for American Progress, CAP, reported new research at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Research by researchers from Rutgers University at the University of Toronto - in collaboration with researchers from Rutgers University, Temple University, Loyola University of Chicago, and the University of Missouri rebuts claims by media reports and elected officials that progressive prosecutors have caused crime in cities to rise. However, that does not mean an end to finding the cause of the rise in crime in cities across the U.S.
And how Bragg manages the development in New York City matters. People want to be safe in their homes, work in the city, and ride the subway without anyone scaring them to death. The same applies to other towns, where muggers control the initiative. Someone once said progressive prosecutors' policies emerge in a bid to save money from increased incarcerated. But there is no data to prove it.
Mayor Adams has cried out that New York City needs help in the face of the new migrants pouring into the city, but Washington does not appear to listen. As a result, Bragg may have no choice than embrace policies that discourage serious and non-serious crime in the city to save lives, such as Neely's.
