If this would have happened in Israel………
Headlines would read 1. “another Palestinian gunned down”, police allege that the wounded victim was “armed”. 2. More violence in the occupied territories; a senior spokesman for the embattled Palestinians alleges that “as long as the youth has no hope and no future, it’s obvious that their only path is to protest, even though their only intent is to harm themselves & call world attention to their plight”. 3. The poor mother of the hapless victim claims that her son doesn’t even know what a gun is, and witnesses confirm that the college student / sheep herder was holding a flute in his hand that he was quite proficient in.”. 4. The B’Tzelem and J Street 2 Israeli NGO Pro Israel Organizations are ENRAGED as to why the police had to shoot the child & didn’t instead ask the young man to please put down his flute, or at a minimum shoot it out of his hand or shoot his small pinky nail without hurting him.
In the hood called bed-sty, a thug thought mugging a cop was sly, 6 bullets later he met his creator
Years ago, the NYPD would have “The Rabbi Patrol”, whereby cops would dress up as Chassidim, in an effort to apprehend muggers, and robbers. It worked out very well. I can’t understand why it was discontinued? It should be reinstated.
