Had last night's episode occurred in a black neighborhood we would have heard the politicians at the front of the crowd defending the old feeble, Holocaust survivor and calling for his immediate release. Councilman Felder had this been your old father, roughed up by some punk cops, would you still declare so self-righteously that the police must enforce the law? This is not simply an innocent or isolated case of miscommunication! There is a pervasive attitude of disdain for community residents in the 66th precinct. In response, there is a simmering resentment among community residents, against our elected officials for avoiding the issues. It is common knowledge that the previous commanding officer of the 66th precinct. Deputy Inspector Stephen McAllister, redeployed Police Officer Mascarini in response to a letter from a mere ordinary citizen. Police Officer Mascarini was harassing the community for years. The politicians and Shomrim wishing to continuously ingratiate themselves with the precinct took no action against him. When the new commander Peter DeBlazio came in and brought back his old crony Police Officer Mascarini to Boro Park from Ocean Parkway. It was citizen's e-mails and blogging on the Internet that got him transferred out of the precinct, not political pressure. What does the precinct command do? Instead of community outreach they decided on collective punishment for Boro Park. They replaced Police Officer Mascarini with three new officers to do the same thing he was doing until now. This has been going on for a couple of months and again, the politicians do nothing. Speak to Simcha Felder and he will tell you "the police must enforce the law." So let me ask you, Mr. Felder. Is this the type of law enforcement which you find acceptable? To have our elderly parents and grandparents, holocaust survivors traumatized and flattened against police cars by rogue cops simply because they did not obey a command, which came over a police loudspeaker, which they did not understand or hear clearly? Did the police officers involved really believe that this elderly man was an imminent threat to their safety? This is not simply an exercise of poor judgment; this is an abuse of police discretion which we as a community can ill afford. This type of police conduct may have lethal ramifications for us residents. Every police officer is equipped with a weapon for self-defense. If an officer can mistake the 85 year old man's actions as threatening, then of us or our residents are in mortal danger of being fired upon by police officers, whose professional judgment, or common sense, is absent or lacking at a critical moment. We must insist that the command train all the officers that come into daily contact with our citizens, so that they understand our culture and community life. We are a very law abiding community and every officer who works in our precinct should consider it a privilege to work in Boro Park. Simcha Felder and Dov Hikind that is the message you should be touting, so that this episode should never be repeated again!

I spoke to someone who was in the precinct when Esposito made the remarks. Unfortunately he lost himself and should have never made those remarks. He has been so good to all of us over the years. It is a big mistake for felder, Hikind and the others that he was pogeiyah in their kovod to step down. He should just apologize and everything will be fine.

Borough Park, Brooklyn, NY - The relationship between the Hasidim of Borough Park and the police who serve them at times seems bipolar.
The 66th Precinct that serves the community is jokingly referred to as "Fort Surrender" among veteran cops, implying politically connected Chasidim can call in a favor anytime one of their own gets into trouble. Residents, on the other hand, have occasionally accused the precinct of overly aggressive tactics.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg denied that Borough Park is given any special treatment by the NYPD. "We're not insensitive to every community, not just this community," Bloomberg said. "We would do the same thing with every community. "But we cannot tolerate what happened in the streets," the mayor said, referring to the fires set and police cars vandalized Tuesday night when officers issued a summons to an elderly driver for talking on his cell phone.
Also did Mayor Bloomberg blasted the mobs who taunted cops and ignited fires in Brooklyn - even as a councilman claimed the city's highest ranking uniformed cop slurred the Jewish crowd during the chaos.

Jason Horowitz is hitting the pavement in Borough Park today.
Here is his report: In the storefront Yidel's Grocery on 12th Avenue between 48th and 50th streets in Borough Park, there's a photo of a guy wearing a varsity jacket with a letter on it, no yarmulke, and he's about to light a bunch of posters on fire. All of these 13- and 14-year-old Orthodox kids are circled around him, eyes agog, looking pretty psyched. In the neighborhood, the photo, and the amateur video from which it's taken, are in high demand. The idea is that opportunistic criminals who aren't orthodox Jews are responsible for much of the mayhem on Tuesday night. Boro Park councilman Simcha Felder told The Politicker: "It is irrelevant to me." It was "inexcusable" that young people in his neighborhood watched and egged on the riot. "I think there are a number of tapes floating around now," he said. But he also said he thought it unlikely they'd surface. Even if they do show non-Jews lighting fires at the riot, they also show large groups of young Orthodox men comporting themselves in a generally ungentlemanly manner

RabbiFreilich. you need take a step back and pinch yourself awake.
Yes, I am referring to your appearance on 1010 WINS.
Is now the time to lap up to the police?
How dare you go out to the media to defend Sgt. Russo and blame our children for the Tuesday night melee.
You are defending the indefensible and shifting the blame to the community as if we instigated riots akin to those in Crown Heights of years ago.
You are guilty of reinforcing the scornful attitude that permeates the 66th precinct and the insensitivity that they are displaying to our community.
Enough already!
All you politicians please stop speaking in our name and cut the pandering!
The cost the community pays as a whole, far outweighs the pitiful benefits in favorable treatment your influence provides.
We the larger community (the regular joes) are no longer willing to pay the price for your political connections. There is no serious crime in our precinct, (to wit the cops have been off the streets of BP all day Wednesday and the crime hasn't skyrocketed) yet the cops are very high profile and in our face, constantly quacking their sirens yelling at us on their loudspeakers speeding down the streets without regard to our safety. They display blatant disrespect, stopping their squad cars to talk to each other in middle of the street crippling traffic on our avenues, daring us to beep our horns. They never pull out of the traffic lanes while writing summonses, inconveniencing all the motorists behind them. They are constantly passing red lights in non emergency situations and they are always driving while talking on their cellphones.
Perhaps the well connected have some benefits from the cops and manage to obtain some favors from the precinct. However it comes at the expense of the average community resident and is just not worth the price.
Furthermore due to the lack of political pressure the excessive and selective enforcement of nuisance violations has grown so blatant that the cops are just simply ticketing the truly innocent and perjuring themselves in traffic court if need be.
The unusually selective parking ticket enforcement has gotten out of hand the agents are zealots anxious to fill their productivity goals, (there are no quotas) they run across two three lanes of traffic to block in motorists who are legally discharging passengers at bus stop, in the process they are endangering themselves and the drivers who must hit their brakes to avoid them.
In fact two months ago a TD agent in an official car did cause an accident while trying to block somebody in to a bus stop he knocked a delivery boy off a bike at 13th Avenue and 50th Street. He blamed the Jewish driver and almost got him arrested and into serious trouble. Luckily this occurred within range of a security camera and the PD Sergeant went to view it because the shopkeeper called his attention to the fact that a video tape was available.
The six squad cars that responded disappeared into thin air and the Jewish driver was spared much anguish and legal fees.
However the Traffic Agent who lied to cover himself at the Jew's expense is still preying upon the innocent and his next victim may not be so lucky.
In the face of some properly applied pressure the precinct will surely come around but you our dear representatives are either to timid or to selfish to apply that pressure for the benefit of the faceless masses, where you can expect nothing tangible in return.
There are many details about the incident that occurred which must be properly investigated. However there are some simple and clear facts which are not in question.
The fact is Sergeant Russo the arresting officer, brutalized and manhandled an elderly gentleman on 16th Ave in broad daylight, due to a perceived slight to his ego. He took umbrage that Mr. Shick did not yield the right-of-way to his squad car, while he had the turret lights on.
The cell phone issue was secondary……. after all we all know, sergeants are not assigned to issue tickets for moving violations and they don't volunteer for it either.
Should Mr. Shick have suffered a fatal heart attack G-D as he was being thrown around like a rag doll, would you still defend this Anti-Semite, Sergeant Russo?
Sorry, but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck………………
Sixty years ago when the Nazis invaded Poland and Hungary they depended on the Judenrat to implement the confiscation of Jewish property and the ghetto confinement of the Jewish population. Their complicity did not earn them a reprieve. In the end they were placed aboard the last cattle car leaving to Auschwitz.
I implore you Jewish politicians and public figures do not be their lackeys, do not serve as the Judenrat of 2006. Call them on the carpet and in the end they will respect you even more and your influence will truly grow.
Our teenagers must certainly be admonished………. in Yeshivah and at home not in the media.
On the other hand, the cops only get the message one way, in the public forum and under media scrutiny.
There is no acceptable excuse for slurring Jews by any public official, the more decorated and veteran the official the higher the standard we shall apply.
Joseph Esposito is damaged goods!
In a fit of anger, he revealed his true thoughts and emotions about the Jews.
Sure he has a lot of history with the community, he used the 66th precinct to build and further his career and personal ambition. Yet look how fast it all unraveled…… a little heat just melted his mask off and the ugly face of an Anti Semite was revealed.
Community relations with the Police are vital………..not for your political photo-ops, only to further the public good. When the public interest is sacrificed on the altar of community relations with the police, we are better off having no connections with them at all.
History is replete with Jews who had longtime business associates, servants and employees, who sold them out at the earliest opportunity after decades of Jewish benevolence.
Once an individual has served notice to our community, what he really thinks about us. We have to be very foolish not to take heed while there is still time.
It is incumbent on you, public figures, to implement a changing of the guard at the 66th precinct and if it is within your power make sure Joseph Esposito puts in his retirement papers this week

Someone with relations to one of our local Jewish politicians told me that not to long ago he was in the car with one of the politicians and a police officer stopped him for not wearing a seatbelt, after identifying themselves, the police officer did let him go.
And this is going on daily; I wonder if that's the law if you are a politician you don't have to follow the law.
Maybe I am in the wrong business

Joseph Esposito has called us F+++Jews what excuse is it that he was under pressure, and because he was under pressure he does not have to apologize.
The Jewish community of Boro Park are demanding an apology from Joseph Esposito, and if you don't know how to apologize I guess this job is not for you.
