--SNIP-- Twenty-five years after the tragic car accident that sparked the Crown Heights riots — three days of unremitting turmoil that pitted angry Hasidic Jews against outraged African-American and Caribbean residents — elements of that question still linger in the neighborhood.

Full Title: Crown Heights erupts in three days of race riots after Jewish driver hits and kills Gavin Cato, 7, in 1991
** I believe this was Sharpton's first race riot. After the accident he spread rumors the ambulance ignored Gavin Cato and he even inflamed tensions with a hate fill eulogy.

That was the riot that showed NYers and the rest of America that the police were NOT there to protect the innocent and that they have NO OBLIGATION to come to your aid when you notify them of your home being invaded.

Whenever TSHTF, the Thin Blue Line dissolves into invisibility with impunity.

... angry Hasidic Jews against outraged African-American and Caribbean residents...

Shameless Jew-hate projection by the NY Post.

I don't recall the Hasidic Jews rioting, only the blacks. The Jews were the victims, and any white person who could have been mistaken for a Jew. It was awful.

...Just how premeditated was the [NY] Times’ effort to portray in morally equivalent terms the attacks made on the Jews was underscored by a recent column in New York Jewish Week by one of the Times’ reporters, Ari Goldman.

On this anniversary of the violence, he penned a courageous account of what it was like to be a legman amid an anti-Jewish riot for the newspaper that boasted of issuing “All the News That’s Fit To Print.”

He called in the facts, and they got rewritten into a story of a racial clash between blacks and whites or between blacks and Jews, when, in reality, no Jews had attacked anybody. The riot was an attack on Jews...

Hillary’s New Square Chassidic backers are not in Crown Heights. The Lubavitcher Chassidic Jews suffered most of the Crown Heights attacks. Completely different groups.

This is being done during the campaign for a reason: to stir up hatred among the street thugs who will be in jail if Trump wins.

“Whenever TSHTF, the Thin Blue Line dissolves into invisibility with impunity.”
It does when the Mayor David Dinkins gives a stand down order and says “Let them vent”.

Interesting read. After all that it looks like The Forward still endorsed Deadly David Dinkins for re-election, albeit “not too enthusiastically”.

It’s spooky when the global commies revise the history you lived through.

Even if a rank-and-file police officer is a conservative and a patriot, he is a member of a quasi-military organization that is also unionized: It is therefore run by leftists, and many if not most police chiefs (versus elected county sheriffs) are anti-Second leftists.

The bottom line is that they follow orders, and those orders come from people who are not our friends.

Look at San Jose, and how the mayor and chief used the police to herd Trump supporters into - not away from - violence. (An undercover cop who did not act to help any of those citizens stated in his official report that he saw people running for their lives!)

I get it, and believe it or not, I have no problem with that. It’s a job... and you do what you have to do.
My problem is with the “Preserve and Protect” nonsense and the “Thin Blue Line” BS. Some may have started out with those altruistic goals at heart, but that just ain’t the way the game is played.
