NYC's Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg says city 'in crisis' as shootings surge 30% year to date
Fox News
New York City’s Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg reiterated clarifications related to the controversial memo he submitted to his office earlier this year, and said the city was "really in crisis" as shootings spiked nearly 30% year-to-date.
The former federal prosecutor previously acknowledged that the memo "left the wrong impression" about his policy plans and added that it "left many New Yorkers justifiably concerned." He then released a letter to staff on Friday further clarifying and outlining new plans for how certain policies should be addressed.
"I take accountability for that, not kind of having the appropriate kind of scaffolding and context around some of the things," he told the group on Tuesday.
