The PBA asked her to say this bs.
Look. Bragg just reinforced that he IS NOT PROCESSING low quality of life crimes, which they've been doing for almost 5 years now. So for Luzuriaga to condemn him for that, was WRONG. You want PD to be steered in a different direction? You want tougher laws for those who killed your husband? Have a seat with your mayor, and governor to change these laws. HELLO?!?!?!
You want to see the city burn because you're at the bottom rung here?
Why not just move? Is it because you're happy to take taxpayer dollars to survive here but funny want it too nice for others to enjoy it?

No, the issue is bigger than just refusing to prosecute certain low quality of life crimes. The issue is also with Bragg intentionally choosing to not prosecute actual violent felonies as, well, felonies so long as the "right" kind of weapon is used and nobody is hurt. But all that does is ensure that criminals who have already displayed a propensity for violence are free to roam the streets and violent offend again, the next time perhaps actually physically harming someone.
As I wrote in another thread:

Investigators say another armed robbery case in Manhattan has been reduced to a charge of shoplifting by the new Manhattan district attorney.
Investigators say this time it was a suspect who wielded a pocketknife while stealing about $2,000 worth of cold medicine from a Duane Reade along Delancey Street in Lower Manhattan over the weekend. Video from inside the store shows the manager who was allegedly threatened by the suspect.
Police arrested 43-year-old William Rolon, saying it was the second time he hit the store — and his 39th arrest overall. But instead of charging Rolon with robbery, sources said prosecutors dropped the charges to petit larceny – a misdemeanor – even though the manager told police she was terrified.
The fact that someone wasn't hurt should not be the determining factor of whether someone faces a felony charge. The fact that someone uses a knife vs. a gun to commit a crime should not be the determining factor of whether someone faces a felony charge. This William Rolon is an example of someone who should be locked away for a long time. The good people of NYC should not have to put up with his crap.
Armed robbery is not a quality of life crime. Yet, he still chooses to charge such cases as misdemeanors. This is a slap on the wrist and a joke that is making all of us less safe. But, leave it to people like Bragg, who have armed security details and are relatively free of worry from such crime to do crap like this
Ever notice that leftists can flap all they want - since the media is on their side - but when something like this happens the person is at best "misguided", at worst a white supremacist (or whatever the label du jour is)?
The solution is for cops to stand down. Stop rushing to domestic violence calls. The people want disorder, let them have it. Let them wallow in it until they are prepared to vote properly. This dichotomy between the cops being required to work while the public votes against them needs to stop.
Get with the program officers. THEY. DON'T. WANT. YOU. TO. WORK. THEY. LOVE. PERPS.

The wife had a beautiful speech that was a tear jerker but after her they should have just had the church staff take the lead.
I saw the photograph of Leticia James walking into the cathedral and she is so wicked looking. She had no business there. She is such a mean evil witch on so many levels. Then other wicked looking figures arrived on the podium: Mayor Adams and the new cop leader woman grandstanded and turned it into their usual agenda.

I always like to tell people that Leticia James, back when she was my home district city councilwoman (district 35!) almost killed me when I was crossing the street at Atlantic and Washington I did campaign against her when she ran for office, but, alas, she was elected.
Dominique Luzuriaga, the widow of the fallen police officer Jason Rivera, directly called out Alvin Bragg for his radical criminal coddling.
“I know you were tired of these laws, especially the ones from the new DA.”
“I hope he’s watching you speak through me right now,” she continued, clearly speaking to Bragg as he sat in a pew just a few yards away.
Thank you, Dominique, for saying to fat Alvin's face exactly what we are all thinking. I hope that POS felt singled out.
Moving forward I hope the city doesn't give her a hard time about collecting benefits and other entitlements. She just called out Bragg and other politicians and embarrassed them nationally. They don't like that and will respond in petty passive-aggressive ways. However, kudos to her for saying what needed to be said and what should be said on a regular basis until real change happens.
Why did the citizens of Manhattan- many of whom are highly educated and reputedly sophisticated- vote for someone like Alvin Bragg?
Really, I would like to know.
Have they never been mugged? Have they not noticed that an absence of law enforcement leads to bad places? Does magical thinking enable them to believe that releasing violent felons is a good thing? Do they get off on cops being shot?
Kudos to the wife. Very touching speech. Glad she called out Bragg.
