The black crime victim has come forward to say she was mistreated, as well, by a uniformed officer from the 61st Precinct in Gravesend.
Shalon Gardner said she told an officer a witness saw a gang of Jewish kids use a racial epithet when they shot out her car windows with a BB gun on July 16.
"Even if I found the witness, he wouldn't come forward because the rabbi will excommunicate him," the cop said, she told the Daily News.
"He was nasty and rude, like he didn't even care," said Gardner, who works in a Gravesend bank and volunteers as an auxiliary cop in East Flatbush.
Gardner was so upset by the cop's brushoff that she later called NYPD Internal Affairs to lodge a complaint.
The precinct's integrity officer contacted her two weeks ago and said her complaint had been "substantiated and the officers disciplined," she said.
Gardner tried unsuccessfully to get a copy of the complaint the officer took.
The Daily News obtained a copy of the police report and it contains no mention of a witness claiming the perpetrators shouted ,"f------ n------ shouldn't park here."
The case is marked "closed" and the report states the windows were smashed "by unknown means."
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne did not respond to a request for comment.
After Internal Affairs learned the vandalism may have been racially motivated, the Hate Crimes Task Force launched an investigation.
But when three detectives - two black, one Pakistani - canvassed the area, a member of a local Jewish community patrol allegedly called the precinct and complained they were impersonators.
The detectives say uniformed cops who responded treated them more like criminals than comrades - demanding identification. The NYPD is probing the faceoff, in which a sergeant and a detective had to be physically restrained.

Something doesn't seem to be right. Why would she be so sure they were Jewish kids. It seems that if they were religious kids, dressed with religious garb or with kippot, then it would be obvious that they were Jewish, but, otherwise, if it was just a bunch of white kids, they could be anything, any religion or any ethnicity. It's really not clear. And, if they were religious kids, they would never use BB guns or use such language. This would be very, very unlikely. Something doesn't smell right!

Gravesend is nowhere near Crown Heights.

thats true, the cops never do anything for us. during the defense operation in gaza any jew who backed up Israel was called a racist or a war criminal and the like but when (and this really happened) a little girl in a burkah shouts at a rally that we need more ovens and gas for the jews, shes a hero

Read the article--- it says Gravesend----NOT Crown Heights.
No offense, but commentators such as you make for illiterate conversation.
Please, for the sake of all VIN bloggers, learn to read

the investigation is about how she was treated by the cops. also shouting is not shooting a bb gun

please, do you see some of the derogatory remarks here about others. If you say these things at home, then your children will act this way.

I see some of the trolling here. If I let my children see this, they may think trolling is cool.
