BOL DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS STATEMENT ON THREATS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST MANHATTAN DA BRAGG.

 

“Threats of violence against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg or any other prosecutor are unacceptable and have no place in a democratic society. This behavior is not only unpatriotic, but it is un-American. The use of violent rhetoric or actions to advance political agendas is immoral and undermines the rule of law on which this nation is founded. Moreover, such actions have a chilling effect on the ability of prosecutors to carry out their duties impartially and fairly, ultimately weakening the judicial system. Any threat against public officials who build a career in service to the People should be condemned, and responsible parties must be held accountable for their actions.”
