Scary

There's a lot of very scary sentiment being spewed in the aftermath of the Boro Park riots over at NYPD Rant, which seems to be a message board for NYPD officers to..well, rant. Some choice bits from one poster:

Mayhem erupts, Riot in Brooklyn, Jewman collared sparks riot. Damn. Who gives a flying f***? They are animals. Pure savages. They should be on some island picking food from each others beards. Let them riot. Stinky bastards. "Die In Jail, Rot In Hell."

Another:

They stink and they all look the same..am I profiling? you bet!!!! Ever see a Hasid locked up for rape? never happen...half the community shares the same DNA...ever see a handicapped Hasid? They lock them up...treat them like the plague...what a joke..don't get me started...

And another:

I did not think I would ever really be able to say I "hated" people simply because of their religion (sect or cult).

So I'll say I REALLY dislike these people.

In an attempt to speak to a hasidic "man" (animal) he screamed at me not to touch him, that I can't put my hands on him, etc. etc. And, not that it is a pleasant thought, but it's ok for the skank hooker to b!@w him? Which is why he needed to be "spoken" to.

Now I have to take a shower just thinking about them.

I am well aware that it is likely that only a very small minority of NYPD members are posting here, and that the Hasidim involved in the riot surely acted poorly toward some NYPD'ers last night, but still. The vitriol and anti-Semitism which was clearly well in place before yesterday is more than a bit jarring.

Update: This from NY1:

Chief of Department Joseph Esposito now admits he made inappropriate comments during the chaos. He does not however admit to singling out Jews in his words as some city council members say he did.

Brooklyn City Councilor Simcha Felder accused the chief of saying, "get the F Jews out of here. Get the F Jews out of here. That is something that is inexcusable, intolerable," Felder says.

I don't know. The profanity is what it is (I can't imagine it was the first or the last profane term to be used by NYPD members), but I would have to imagine that a police chief would certainly want to get all the Jews who were rioting inside his district and committing vandalism, arson, and assaulting his officers, "out of there". Unless someone can prove that he meant "Get the Jews out of my district forever", I don't see the drama with this one. It isn't like he said "Go and beat those F'ing Jews up", right? Anyone want to explain why what he said was so awful?
