'Alvin Bragg Says CRIMINALS Have More Rights Than You': NYPD Association Rents Billboard Truck To Denounce DA's Crime Policies

The Police Benevolent Association (PBA) of New York rented a Billboard truck Friday and Saturday to advertise local businesses this New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg he is “on the side of the criminals, not on our side.”

The organization posted a video of the truck on Twitter with the caption, “A message to Midtown business owners: If you try to stop a repeat offender from terrorizing your customers and staff, you will be arrested.”

<p><a href="https://twitter.com/NYCPBA/status/1682484117684797443?s=20</p> <p>“/></p></blockquote> <p>“If you call the police for help, the policeman will be arrested,” he added. </p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/NYCPBA/status/1682145974246932482?s=20</p> <p>“/></p></blockquote> <p>The message on the truck reads “Attention: Manhattan business owners, lock your doors to prevent violent repeat offenders. Secure your merchandise to stop serial thieves. District Attorney Alvin Bragg says criminals have more rights than you.” Followed by a message to “support your police”. </p> <p>In a statement in a Manhattan court Wednesday, PBA President Patrick Hendry said, “I want to talk to the people here in Manhattan, especially our business owners. Whether you’re a big business owner or a small business owner, you need to lock your doors to repeat offenders.” He continued: “The ones who repeatedly steal from you. The ones who repeatedly harass and assault your staff. The ones who cause mayhem and destroy your stores and drive customers away.” </p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/NYCPBA/status/1681707914120052736?s=20</p> <p>“/></p></blockquote> <p>“DA Bragg is not on your side, he is on the side of repeat offenders,” Hendry added. “You can’t try to get someone out of your store, you can’t try to get a shoplifter out of your store, a disorderly person out of your store, because you’re going to get arrested.” </p> <p>“And when you call 911 for that police officer to protect you, that police officer will be arrested and charged,” he said. </p> <p>The PBA is responding to the indictment of officer Salvatore Provenzano this week for an incident in 2021. Provenzano was charged by the prosecutor’s office with punching a man while trying to remove him from an Apple store after the man harassed customers.</p> <p>In accordance with <a href="https://abc7ny.com/officer-indicted-punch-apple-store-harass/13522353/?ex_cid=TA_WABC_TW&taid=64b8791d22c1cb0001751904&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC7</a>, the man was kicked out of the store earlier, but returned to cause trouble. As the store was closing, Provenzano tried to hear the man by the arm, but the man pulled away. </p> <p>Court documents state, “As the individual wriggled out of the defendant’s grasp and turned toward the exit, the defendant struck the individual on the left side of the face, causing him substantial pain.”</p> <p>In a statement, DA Bragg said: “We work in close partnership with the NYPD … those sworn to uphold the law must be held accountable.” </p> <p>A witness, Brian Plunkett, said <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/20/apple-store-guard-who-saw-scuffle-between-indicted-nypd-cop-and-unruly-man-said-cop-did-nothing-wrong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> that the officer did nothing wrong. “The assailant elbowed him in the side of the head, I don’t know if it connected,” he said. “They put him on the ground and took him into custody.” He added: “If I am called to court to testify, I will testify on behalf of the police.” </p> <p>Retail theft is on the rise across the country. <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/no-scoop-for-you-nyc-stores-lock-up-ice-cream-amid-increase-in-shoplifting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In New York</a>there were 13,738 theft reports, compared to 8,750 quarterly in 2019. In 2022, New York saw a 45% increase in retail theft, with 63,000 total incidents. </p> </p></div> <p><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> <p><a
