DA Alvin Bragg cuts break for women allegedly caught on video attacking NYPD cops
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg cut a break for two women who allegedly attacked NYPD cops in a wild caught-on-video assault — letting one of them off the hook and downgrading the charges for the other, The Post has learned.
Kimberly Rivera, 33, one of the accused combatants in the Tuesday evening melee in East Harlem, had her felony assault charges dropped to third-degree attempted assault, a misdemeanor, officials confirmed.
Her compatriot, Felicia Davis, 32, fared even better — Bragg’s office dropped the charges against her entirely, though a spokesperson said she may eventually be issued a summons.
“Once again the Manhattan district attorney has let the good, hard-working people of Manhattan down,” one Big Apple cop told The Post.
“The cops were called there by the people who are prisoners of their homes,” the source fumed. “And when they try to clear the corner of the problem the district attorney blocks the cops and protects the criminals.”
The out-of-control battle erupted around 6 p.m. Tuesday on Madison Avenue near East 105th Street when cops asked Davis to stop blasting loud music at the scene.
I definitely would not concern myself with clearing corners in craphole hoods nowadays, but it’s their decision to make if they want to risk their pensions. If they only knew how good retirement is, they’d be more careful.
Most of the electorate are not from here that one of the problems!
I disagree. They are. A large part of the active electorate just has different interests. The change will come when the non-active part of the electorate becomes active due to the situation becoming intolerable.

I'd say it's a mix of things. A lot of native New Yorkers have either moved or DON'T vote, but ***** and moan about how much of a disaster the City is. I voted for Sliwa, even though I didn't think he'd win, since so few vote these days. Truth is, even if Sliwa was in office, I don't think things would be much better. Too much has to change at the State level and right now with Hochul in office, there's a fat chance in hell of the changes happening that are needed to right this ship. The criminals have all of the power.
