Yep… that would be using a weapon in a threatening manner.

They are not “liberals” or “progressives”. They are Socialist Revolutionaries, the very kind who took over Cuba and now rule over the people with an iron fist.
And will now be prosecuted under Alvin Bragg as Petit Larceny if the perp asserts there was no “genuine risk of physical harm”.

Pointing a gun at someone and saying “Your money or your life” is a genuine risk of physical harm,
There are plenty of criticisms of this new policy without having to make ■■■■ up.
Thank you for you uninformed opinion.
With respect to your scenario, in order for the gun to pose a genuine risk of physical harm, and be a “deadly weapon,” it must be both operable and actually loaded with live ammunition (see People v Shaffer, 66 NY2d 663, 664 [1985]

I distinctly see cartoon bullets loaded into that cartoon gun.

I’ll take a truckload of salt with that claim.
Another pathetic deflection.

What makes a Supreme Court opinion legitimate is when it is in harmony with the text of our Constitution and its documented legislative intent which gives context to its text.
Arguing over a cartoon is the height of absurdity.
So why are you arguing over a cartoon?

Business leaders considering a recall of Alvin Bragg
Surprise, surprise! See Angry biz leaders to meet with new DA Alvin Bragg, discuss recall efforts over soft-on-crime agenda
January 10, 2022
”The Partnership for New York City, the Big Apple’s largest business advocacy organization, will meet with progressive Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to voice their concerns over details of his stay-out-of-jail free card for criminals.
Some members of the group are so angered by Bragg’s new policies that they are also discussing efforts to recall the newly elected prosecutor, The Post has learned.”
In regard to recall, see Laws governing recall in New York - Ballotpedia
“Recall of elected officials is not permitted in New York. While recall elections do not occur, the New York Constitution states, “Any town, village, improvement district or fire district officer, except a justice of the peace, may be removed from office by the supreme court for any misconduct, maladministration, malfeasance or malversation in office.” Any citizen within the officeholder’s district may submit an application for removal to the local branch of the appellate division of the supreme court”.[1]

Today’s Democrat Party Leadership is infested with Socialist Revolutionaries, the same kind that took over Cuba and now rule over the people with an iron fist!
They turned bait and switch into an art form.
Remember this?
Right out of the narrative 
Wrong thread?
No it’s not. He promised to “make us safer”. He switched and is making it less safe.
Bait and switch.

Bragg only just released his memo. Its too soon to see if his policies will make Manhattan less safe.
Oh, but we do know the results of such policies:
“Two years ago, a person arrested would be in custody and set to be arraigned in 72 hours,” said Moore. “Today, that process is, with the zero-bail, that person is in and out back in the community and their next court appearance is an arraignment that’s four or five months out.”
Moore said homicides have gone up about 50% since 2019 and aggravated assaults have gone up about 16%.
If people who are released on recognizance are committing crimes then the problem isn’t the lack of bail, its that the people responsible for determining if an offender is a threat or flight risk are not doing a good job.
Moore said homicides have gone up about 50% since 2019 and aggravated assaults have gone up about 16%.
Bragg’s policy doesn’t refer to homicides and aggravated assaults. Are you implying that people who are arrested for non-violent offenses and released on recognizance are going and killing people?

Just a note - the New York County District Attorney is not a town, village, improvement district or fire district officer.
He’s not going anywhere.

Yesterday’s headline:
Knife-wielding suspect has felony charge reduced under Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s policies
January 11, 2022
"Cops charged Rolon with first-degree robbery and criminal possession of a weapon in the first incident, sources said.
But when he was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court early Sunday morning, the robbery charge was dropped by the Manhattan DA’s Office and he was instead charged with two counts of petit larceny and related low-level offenses, including second-degree menacing, court papers show."
Menacing in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor.
The article goes on to note: “At the time of Rolon’s arrest Saturday, he was wanted in Brooklyn for failing to appear in court in October on charges that include felony assault with a weapon, records show.”
