Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg on Thursday walked back some of his orders for prosecutors to let dangerous criminals walk — while still sticking to his overall belief that it’s wrong to send perps to jail or prison.

He claimed the public furor was the result of mass “misunderstanding” of his “legalistic” memo that merely aimed to give Manhattan prosecutors “a framework for how to approach cases in the best interest of safety and justice.” Right.

At least he’s made a start with some fundamental concessions: He says his office will prosecute every robbery with a gun as a felony — and “it will be treated seriously.”

More: “Violence against police officers will not be tolerated,” said Bragg in a nod to NYPD concerns. “If you push or hit an officer or attempt to do so or attempt to harm an officer in another way, you will be prosecuted, held accountable.” Still missing: the phrase “prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”

Then, too, he’s standing by his refusal to ever seek a sentence of life without parole, no matter how heinous the crime. And he’ll still seek pretrial detention (jail, in other words) only in “very serious cases” — meaning he’ll be even looser than the already-outrageous no-bail law.

Bragg’s main priority, in short, is still not putting most perps behind bars. He’s not trying to protect the public, but only his own job.
