MANCHESTEREVENINGNEWS.co.uk (http://bit.ly/1YRoWuy) reports that Moshe Rothstein, a Salford trucker who logs over 100K miles annually, volunteers in his off-time as a special constable for Greater Manchester Police.
Rothstein’s duties include tweeting help and advice to residents in need in Bury.
Rothstein’s Twitter account, @TruckerMozzi, has 1,374 followers.
Upon receiving the award in an online ceremony, a humbled Rothstein explained what led him to becoming a special constable.
“I never ever believed I was going to be a police officer,” Rothstein said. “It all started off when I was a victim of anti-Semitism and got to know the local police officers. There were times I phoned the police and no-one came because they didn’t have any available. They said ‘why don’t you become a special constable?’ I said ‘are you having a laugh?’ but it all went from there. I did my training and they were all so welcoming.”
Although we all admire all who volunteer for the community everywhere, a jew belongs in Israel, in the Israeli police force, in the IDF, in the MADA… because we have our own land and we need our support.
Let the Americans, British and whatnot”s deal with their own people….
Moshe Rothstein is a fantastic young man, well done! Manchester are proud of you and grateful to you!
