Maybe she has finely tuned Jewdar

The city's first Hasidic cop was excoriated in a anti-Semitic rant by a dog-loving subway passenger who allegedly refused to place her sick pet in an animal carrier, sources and a witness said yesterday.
Brooklyn blogger Chrissie Brodigan claimed Officer Joel Witriol went ballistic when he saw her take her pug, Dempsey, out of her purse in violation of subway regulations at around 5:30 p.m. Monday. She said he cuffed her, insulted her and roughed her up.
But a witness, Viane Delgado, said Brodigan was the one out of line. Delgado said Witriol "repeatedly" asked the woman to place the barking pug in a carrier she had. But instead, she allegedly insulted him with anti-Semitic slurs and tried to walk away.
"You f---ing Jew, you're not even human," Delgado quoted Brodigan as saying.
She repeatedly said, "Jewish people think they own everything," a source said.
But Brodigan denied that account.
"I don't remember saying anything anti-Semitic," she said. "I do remember saying, 'Clearly, you have trouble with women.' I probably called him an a--hole."
According to her account, Witriol "said he needed to talk to me" as she was ascending a staircase at the L-line Bedford Avenue station.
"He pushed me against the wall and said, 'I need your name and ID.'

How did she know he was Jewish?
Bags I they all voted for Obama. This story is a liberal feeding frenzy and it will be fun to watch!
He was wearing a skull cap ... look at the picture in the link
The locks.

Bingo, that's why I posted it. Liberal PC run amok, as we all knew it would

You gotta love that headline.
I'm going to guess there would be three dead-giveaways. From the caption on the photo:
>> Joel Witriol, who made headlines in 2006 as the city's first Hasidic cop, takes Chrissie Brodigan into custody over the pug she had on a leash in a subway station.
Clue #1: With a name like "Joel Witriol" he could hardly be a Scotsman but he could definitely be a Jew; and
Clue #2: He had made headlines a couple years ago as the first Hasidic Jewish cop, so his face would be familiar to many; and finally from the photo:
Clue #3: It might just be the lighting, but the officer with his hand on the handcuffed (and very angry looking) perp -- he looks like he has an odd, wispy beard-no-mustache just under his chin. And it also looks like he's got some headgear on, like Jews wear (just toward the back of his head).
Those would be my best guesses.
Perhaps it was his name tag with “Witriol” on it.
Oh, and I left out "sexual harassment" ... another of the PC left's pet whinings
The "locks" are quite visible.
“Witriol”, as a surname, doesn’t stand out as particularly Jewish. It does, however, look almost exclusively New York (Manhattan to be speific).

What you say is true. But when coupled with “Joel” (a fairly common Jewish name) it becomes more likely that the officer is Jewish rather than, say, Chinese or Irish.

What's the difference? Remember, these people are all siblings within each list. How can we determine their religious affiliation if we know nothing other than the names on this list?

I have said nothing about “determining” Officer Witriol’s religious affiliation: he gets to do that, not me.
I have taken some educated guesses at how a perfect stranger could guess his likely ethnicity, based upon a firstname/surname and some physical characteristics. Bonus points if these also lead to his likely religion.
This would not work in Jackson Mississippi however.
