Hope he is transferd to bed sty or south bronx.
Lakewood PD should learn from the NYPD how to respond to such incidents.
bed sty is a jewish neighborhood…
let him go to Harlem!
Just the opposite. Allow the officer to remain and service the Jewish Community. Maybe if he’s a bit more educated in Jewish Culture and Customs he will begin to understand that New York is indeed the world’s biggest melting pot.
Also, was he “under the gun” (no pun intended) to fill his quota of tickets for that day? The city is pretty hard up for money.
To Mom12: Since when is Bed Sty a “Jewish” neighborhood? Maybe you are thinking of Willysburgh?
