    According to NY Daily News (http://nydn.us/1CcSmGa) David Attali, 31, says other officers filled his locker with hateful messages, called him “dirty Jew,” would greet him with “Heil Hitler,” sent him text messages with racial slurs and a photo of Adolf Hitler.

    Attali, who was an officer for six years, is suing the city and the five officers who he says were involved, along with four supervisors for refusing his transfer request.

    Attali first reported the harassment in May 2014 to the NYPD Office of Equal Employment Opportunity, showing them pictures of his locker covered with advertisements for pork, a newspaper reading “Hail Hitler” and a swastika carved into a sticker. When he was not transferred, he quit in August.

    Attali also says he has copies of text messages and recorded audio.

    Months after he left, Attali was told that EEO confirmed vandalism of his locker, but the verbal harassment claims were denied by the other officers.

    Attali said the harassment may have started because he got Saturdays off to observe the Sabbath. He currently works as a driver for a water-meter inspection company.

    Time to get rid of the garbage at nypd. Unfortunatly they likely lost a good cop. I hope he sings to the bank.

    This doesn’t surprise me; I was a civilian employee of the NYPD for three years, and it was very unpleasant to have to deal with anti-Semitic cops, and to hear anti-Semitic statements. Anti-Semitism has been entrenched in the NYPD for well over a century. There is an old saying that “a leopard doesn’t change its spots”.

    Is it clear now why we Yidden need a pro-black Mayor and Muslim President: To save us from this white Christian Trash with Guns. Blacks,Muslims,Spanish,Immigrants always been good to us. For thousands of years we were and are persecuted by the same White Christian Trash who is killing innocent Blacks. D’Blasio looks Great Now.

    Shame on those cops I hope they get fired. There are plenty of frum yiddin in the NYPD that have no problem with shabbos & Yom Tov. It’s time for people to wake up were in the 21st century and have to accommodate.
