Aformer New York City police commissioner called out District Attorney Alvin Bragg for his “radical” approach to handling crime in the Big Apple, citing his most recent handling of a serial stabbing that killed three innocent bystanders.
The Guardian Group CEO Ray Kelly revealed why he believes Bragg is the “most radical” district attorney the city has ever seen, pointing out that Bragg advertised his soft-on-crime approach as soon as he was voted into office.
“Mr. Bragg is not reasonable,” Kelly told “Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade on Wednesday.
“He is… a believer in the most radical of approaches. As a matter of fact, the first day in office, he gave us a manifesto over what he’s not going to do. One of them being that he is not going to arrest people for fare-beating, which, by the way, the MTA says that’s where they’re losing three quarters of $1 billion a year on this, and that’s why we have congestion pricing because of District Attorney Bragg.”
Police arrested 51-year-old Ramon Rivera, a career criminal, earlier this week after he allegedly went on an unprovoked stabbing spree in the city, killing three people.
Rivera, a homeless man, has eight prior arrests and had been released from jail just weeks before the fatal knife-wielding attacks.
