Soft-on-crime Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg drops $40K on trauma-relief program for ‘snowflake’ staff

Soft-on-crime Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is quietly rolling out a publicly-funded program to help his own staffers traumatized by the cases they handle, The Post has learned.
The woke prosecutor, slammed by critics for villainizing victims while going easy on suspects, is shelling out $40,000 in taxpayer cash to develop a so-called “Vicarious Trauma and Well-Being Plan” for his more than 1,300 assistant district attorneys, paralegals and other employees, according to city records.
The nine-month contract will involve conducting focus groups and interviews with frazzled staffers about on-the-job secondary traumatic stress as well as supervisor-training sessions.
The initiative is a “slap in the face” to crime victims and their families, said Jeffry Alba, whose bodega clerk dad, Jose, was notoriously charged with murder by Bragg in 2022 after defending himself from an angry customer.
“He’s worried about his own team, but he’s not worried about the victims,” said Alba, whose father is now suing Bragg for racial discrimination after the charges were dropped amid public scrutiny.
“It’s heartbreaking because he didn’t offer my dad anything — [Bragg] didn’t offer him any emotional support,” he added.
The left wing Democratic prosecutor – who has seen a borough-wide surge in felony crime since taking office in 2022 while making it a mission to downgrade many of these cases to misdemeanors – is among dozens of progressive district attorneys and DA candidates nationwide who’ve received backing from far-left billionaire kingmaker George Soros.
“The [staff trauma] program is a bunch of hogwash because you have victims who are getting their asses whooped on a regular basis and he doesn’t prosecute,” barked one veteran cop of 25 years.

I suggest the veteran cop run the program.

I thought it was like all the colleges and universities paying for safe spaces with hot chocolate, stuffed animals to hug, bunny visits and therapy dogs for distraught students who looked on their phone news and saw Trump had won with a GOP House and Senate.

I have to give him some credit; he went on The View and basically read them the Republican view on the economy. (Of course, several democrats are doing that now. It will be their mantra in 2026. Never mind they denied it for the past 4 years.)

I wonder how much money the “Trauma Relief” company had to kick back to Bragg to get the contract.
And Bragg has 1300 paid minions? I don’t care if it is populous Manhattan, 1300 employees is way too many for any District Attorney. Taxpayers ripped off constantly, not just for “Trauma Relief”.
