A subway poster advertising a commemorative book on Ruth Bader Ginsburg was defaced with anti-Semitic and other slurs.
The NYPD's hate crimes unit is investigating slur-ridden "DIE" graffiti scrawled on a Brooklyn subway station poster of Ruth Bader Ginsburg after a rider flagged it on Twitter Tuesday.
"What is going to be done about this?" the rider captioned in her tweet, tagging the mayor's office, the MTA and NYPD among other accounts. She said it was spotted at the Nassau Avenue G train stop.
"DIE" in all capital letters is scrawled in black marker across Ginsburg's forehead on the poster; "JEW" was written over her glasses, followed by another slur and a swastika over her mouth.
In a statement on Wednesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo denounced the graffiti.
"We will not stand by and allow hateful and discriminatory vandalism in New York," he said. "I have directed the New York State Police Hate Crimes Task Force to provide the NYPD with any resources needed to assist in the investigation."

Thanks a little elbow grease.
Posted article - "I have directed the New York State Police Hate Crimes Task Force to provide the NYPD with any resources needed to assist in the investigation."
Seems like there are at least 3,100 resources.
Surely one of them ought to yield something and right quick!
If the vandal turns out to be an office holding, elected democrat, well that’s different.
Hate crime? What about the political sucker punch attack on Rand Paul?
Not bad..... lol
Dick Wolf is probably ripping this from the headlines as we speak.
No doubt.
