Who the heck is "Alan" ?[edit]

The article contains this sentence:

After intense backlash, including from NYC Mayor Eric Adams who said Alan was acting in self defense, Bragg ultimately dropped the charges against Alba, noting that "a homicide case against Alba could not be proven at trial beyond a reasonable doubt".

But no "Alan" has been mentioned. Should this be "Alba"?

I hope that someone who is capable of proofreading their own writing fixes this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:200:c082:2ea0:1583:bb7e:bc40:a6ee (talk) 20:12, June 8, 2023 (UTC)

I changed it to "Alba". Seems like a typo. Thanks for pointing it out. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:22, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Recent attack on police[edit]

Video shows several people assaulting police officers. They were arrested, but Bragg released them without bail, and they got on a bus to California.

This has gotten a huge amount of news coverage from many different reliable sources. I'm posting a few of them here, but this just represents a tiny fraction. This should be included as it is relevant to his performance as the person who is supposed to protect citizens from violent crime.

There is no reason why this shouldn't be included in the article. If you don't add it, I will.

Froglife94 (talk) 21:00, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This quote is from John Miller, CNN chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst. I support adding it to the article, as it is highly relevant to Bragg's job performance:

"These individuals, I went over their rap sheets yesterday, multiple charges, grand larceny, robbery, attempted robbery, grand larceny, grand larceny. This particular crew operated on mopeds and scooters. They were doing organized retail theft. They were doing snatches on the street, iPhones, iPads, clothing, so on and so forth. One of them that they are still seeking has ten charges on one day because he's part of a pattern that's been going on. And I'm looking at the dates that their arrest started, which is probably close to when they got here. They've only been here a couple of months. So, what the detectives are telling me is they have crews here that operate in New York, do all their stealing, then go to Florida to spend the money and then come back. And I'm like, well, why don't they just stay and steal in Florida? And they said, because there, you go to jail."

John Miller (police official) is hardly a neutral figure and his commentary is meaningless for our purposes. A former top NYPD official said Sunday that state lawmakers “set us back a decade” by dropping an “atom bomb” on the criminal-justice system with their 2019 bail-reform laws. Ex-Deputy Commissioner of Intelligence and Counterterrorism John Miller blasted the state’s bail-reform measures as “all ideology over common sense,” saying the laws were pushed by “advocates for people who commit crimes.”[1] That's nonsense.

It seems the issue here regarding Bragg is not one group of people who were released without bail, but his support for bail reform in general, which seems to be missing from this article. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:35, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
