Alvin Bragg screwed up again — ‘Diaperman’ – Latest News
Let historical past keep in mind when Alvin Bragg went gentle on snowball-throwing Diaper Man and basically endorsed the disrespect of the women and men in blue.
Our prosecution-averse Manhattan DA dropped the police-assault expenses in opposition to Gusmane Coulibaly, who goes by Diaper Man on YouTube the place he posts idiotic videos of himself interviewing {couples} about their trust ranges and him brushing his face with a toothbrush. Scintillating stuff.
Coulibaly, 27, who was arrested earlier this month for tried theft (he claims it was a prank), was half of the mob that chased down NYPD officers at Washington Square Park Monday, launching icy snowballs at them. One officer reportedly sustained accidents to the left facet of his face that included redness and ache close to his eye.

But Bragg’s workplace stated that, regardless that video confirmed Coulibaly throwing a snowball that struck the officer within the face, it could be tough to show “that the injury was obtained directly from the defendant.” No phrase if the DA additionally smashed the like-and-subscribe buttons on Diaper Man’s YouTube web page, however the different expenses have been downgraded.

It’s simply one other day in Bragg’s Manhattan, the place criminals are coddled and dysfunction is met with a shrug.

Of course, prosecutors deliver instances to a grand jury at their own discretion; however by not advancing this one, Bragg basically made a assertion about his utter lack of respect for law enforcement.
In 2023, the DA prioritized a nonsense case in opposition to Donald Trump, the place Bragg needed to twist the law into a pretzel to deliver 34 felonies in opposition to the then ex-president.

To at the present time, Trump’s precise crime stays murky at best.
All this whereas Bragg had stopped prosecuting precise criminals. Instead, he went full steam forward on the politicized case to turn out to be a resistance hero. He additionally aggressively slapped manslaughter expenses on subway hero Daniel Penny. (The jury have been deadlocked on that charge, in order that they merely dropped it. Penny was acquitted on the lesser charge of criminally negligent murder.)
So the DA is just not afraid to go for the gusto on slim proof.

But he can’t be bothered to ship this case to the grand jury — not even to attempt to show that his workplace holds a line in opposition to crime.
The snowball melee ought to have sparked a unified message from all leaders throughout the town. And it ought to have been unequivocal and easy: If you harass and assault officers, you may be prosecuted.
And but, it was dismissed by Mayor Mamdani who known as it “kids at a snowball fight.” Perhaps calling your self Diaper Man means you may nonetheless qualify as a child at age 27.

Mamdani’s rep stated the Mayor didn’t “believe this situation rises to the level of criminal charges.”
But this wasn’t a playful exchange of snowballs between kids and cops set to the soundtrack of “Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood?” It was a mob chasing down cops and getting a thrill from seeing them retreat.
Bragg’s choice additionally undermines NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch, who fiercely and rightly defended the women and men of her division. “When you put on this uniform and uphold these requirements, you need to be handled with respect,’’ she stated Friday morning.
Shame on Mamdani and Bragg for basically signing a permission slip for rudderless reprobates to harass our hardworking cops.
