Press conference with Dov Hikind and Simcha Felder at 66th Precinct
Dov Hikind and Simcha Felder held a press conference today in front of the 66th Police Precinct in Boro-Park. Although they started out by blaming rogue teenagers as the reason for the riot, they quickly came around and began to point fingers in the direction of the Police. Simcha began by saying that there was a higher-up, Chief Joseph Esposito, that acted very wrong in the way he handled last night's events. Simcha mentioned that he and many other witnesses had heard him yell to the cops at the scene, "Get the F***'n Jews outta here, I wanna see heads rolling!" Also he yelled at Simcha Felder, "If you can't help me Simka, get the F*** outta here!" Dov and Simcha both said that there was no reason for war tactics to be taken on such a community. Joseph Esposito has been coming under fire lately from the Jewish community after he botched a couple of situations in Williamsburg. Joseph Esposito used to be the Commanding Officer at the 66th Precinct, where he formerly received years of tuches licking from the Boro-Park Shomrim. To Shomrim; this is how licking pays off, to Simcha and Dov; I'm glad you guys have woken up, and to Joseph Esposito; it was nice knowing you, I hope you do well in your second career.

So far there has been no clear description of what exactly transpired. Dov Hikind said he doesn't ask that Esposito resign, only apologize. Personally I think you should tell us EXACTLY what happened from beginning to end and then let readers decide, including the police officers account of what happened. Or is this a blog that likes to wash everyone's underwear in public except you and your community? Roiv fun ihr haben gemacht a groisse Chilul Hashem. Ich hof az du bist freilich.
Total lunacy. Burning cars? Setting fires? What are these people - animals? Very little can justify this. And a question: what about 'dena d'malchusa'? There are enough places selling hands-free kits for cell phones. What right does a Yid have to be a scofflaw like this to use a cell phone while driving. It's pashut against the law. And also: just about everyone knows to stay in the car when you've been pulled over. The cop PROBABLY told this to the guy too. Whatever happened to common sense? Plenty of morons would pull shtick and threaten a cop writing them a ticket. They need this law too. The witnesses could have brought a case against the cop. That might have done some good.
Goodbye Esposito,"simka" Felder, Dov Hikind, Shomrim, Yankey Meyer, Itchy (scratch my pee-pee & fat tuchas) Herschel, Simchie u know who....
All these guys think that they represent us!
Get lost.

I happened to have been 6 cars behind the police jeep that was involved in this debacle. The cop car was not going on any call he was trying to bypass the traffic by going into oppossite traffic . When they approached 47 street against the red light Mr Schick was making a left on to 16 th ave which almost caused an accident.
The cops stopped their car against traffic and approached Mr Schicks car in a very arrogant manner.
I did not see anything else and passed the scene ,obviously chaoes errupted shortly after.
I condone the chilull hashem however the cops are arrogant and treat traffic infractions like the biggest criminals-
During the riots cops were physically and verbally abusive un befitting for NY finest

When they shot Gideon Busch the community was told not to take to the streets and was assured a fair investigation will take place.
Withing hours the mayor was already defending the cops, the grand jury almost refused to hear testimony, etc. etc.
The community was lied to last time, and we are not going to let it happen again. It is obvious that the Al Sharpton's and the protests are beneficial, as those cops get punished, yet ours don't.
The fact that our leaders don't support our community is what is a shame. They say they represent us, well it was the wish of 'us' to be out in the street and let PD know we will not take this abuse. They should be marching up front with us, not cowarding.

Rabbi Freilich needs to take a step back and pinch yourself awake.Yes, I am referring to his appearance on 1010 WINS.Is now the time to lap up to the police?How dare you go out to the media to defend Sgt. Russo and blame our children for the Tuesday night melee.You are defending the indefensible and shifting the blame to the community as if we instigated riots akin to those in Crown Heights of years ago.You are guilty of reinforcing the scornful attitude that permeates the 66th precinct and the insensitivity that they are displaying to our community. Enough alreadyAll you politicians please stop speaking in our name and cut the pandering!The cost the community pays as a whole, far outweighs the pitiful benefits in favorable treatment your influence provides. We the larger community (the regular joes) are no longer willing to pay the price for your political connections.There is no serious crime in our precinct, (to wit the cops have been off the streets of BP all day Wednesday and the crime hasn't skyrocketed) yet the cops are very high profile and in our face, constantly quacking their sirens yelling at us on their loudspeakers speeding down the streets without regard to our safety. They display blatant disrespect, stopping their squad cars to talk to each other in middle of the street crippling traffic on our avenues, daring us to beep our horns. They never pull out of the traffic lanes while writing summonses, inconveniencing all the motorists behind them. They are constantly passing red lights in non emergency situations and they are always driving while talking on their cellphones. Perhaps the well connected have some benefits from the cops and manage to obtain some favors from the precinct. However it comes at the expense of the average community resident and is just not worth the price.Furthermore due to the lack of political pressure the excessive and selective enforcement of nuisance violations has grown so blatant that the cops are just simply ticketing the truly innocent and perjuring themselves in traffic court if need be. The unusually selective parking ticket enforcement has gotten out of hand the agents are zealots anxious to fill their productivity goals, (there are no quotas) they run across two three lanes of traffic to block in motorists who are legally discharging passengers at bus stop, in the process they are endangering themselves and the drivers who must hit their brakes to avoid them. In fact two months ago a TD agent in an official car did cause an accident while trying to block somebody in to a bus stop he knocked a delivery boy off a bike at 13th Avenue and 50th Street. He blamed the Jewish driver and almost got him arrested and into serious trouble. Luckily this occurred within range of a security camera and the PD Sergeant went to view it because the shopkeeper called his attention to the fact that a video tape was available. The six squad cars that responded disappeared into thin air and the Jewish driver was spared much anguish and legal fees.However the Traffic Agent who lied to cover himself at the Jew's expense is still preying upon the innocent and his next victim may not be so lucky.In the face of some properly applied pressure the precinct will surely come around but you our dear representatives are either to timid or to selfish to apply that pressure for the benefit of the faceless masses, where you can expect nothing tangible in return. There are many details about the incident that occurred which must be properly investigated.However there are some simple and clear facts which are not in question.The fact is Sergeant Russo the arresting officer, brutalized and manhandled an elderly gentleman on 16th Ave in broad daylight, due to a perceived slight to his ego. He took umbrage that Mr. Shick did not yield the right-of-way to his squad car, while he had the turret lights on. The cell phone issue was secondary……. after all we all know, sergeants are not assigned to issue tickets for moving violations and they don't volunteer for it either.Should Mr. Shick have suffered a fatal heart attack G-D as he was being thrown around like a rag doll, would you still defend this Anti-Semite, Sergeant Russo?Sorry, but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck………………Sixty years ago when the Nazis invaded Poland and Hungary they depended on the Judenrat to implement the confiscation of Jewish property and the ghetto confinement of the Jewish population. Their complicity did not earn them a reprieve. In the end they were placed aboard the last cattle car leaving to Auschwitz. I implore you Jewish politicians and public figures do not be their lackeys, do not serve as the Judenrat of 2006. Call them on the carpet and in the end they will respect you even more and your influence will truly grow. Our teenagers must certainly be admonished………. in Yeshivah and at home not in the media.On the other hand, the cops only get the message one way, in the public forum and under media scrutiny.There is no acceptable excuse for slurring Jews by any public official, the more decorated and veteran the official the higher the standard we shall apply.Joseph Esposito is damaged goods!In a fit of anger, he revealed his true thoughts and emotions about the Jews.Sure he has a lot of history with the community, he used the 66th precinct to build and further his career and personal ambition. Yet look how fast it all unraveled a little heat just melted his mask off and the ugly face of an Anti Semite was revealed. Community relations with the Police are vital………..not for your political photo-ops, only to further the public good. When the public interest is sacrificed on the altar of community relations with the police, we are better off having no connections with them at all. History is replete with Jews who had longtime business associates, servants and employees, who sold them out at the earliest opportunity after decades of Jewish benevolence.Once an individual has served notice to our community, what he really thinks about us. We have to be very foolish not to take heed while there is still time.It is incumbent on you, public figures, to implement a changing of the guard at the 66th precinct and if it is within your power make sure Joseph Esposito puts in his retirement papers this week.
so in your eyes non violence include burning cop cars!! The pics that are circulating show HEIMISHE BUCHRIM lighting the fire and the one pic that has s/o that looks as if he isn't jewish the kid right behind him is holding a lighter & helping him start a fire!!!!! & if you are so sick of being mistreated file a complaint with the ccrb
These assholes should be home with their wives and children instead of burning and rioting like a bunch of losers who spend too much time collecting public assistance. Maybe they had too much Pre-Passover wine. My fellow officers should have just pelted them all with ham. Over and out from the beloved 70th Precinct.
If this is Boro Park's version of an uprising-they need to just stay inside cowering the next time they want to try and tangle with the PD again. Boro park lost this battle and so fast too that it isn't even on the news anymore.Shame on you all
wanna go for round # 2 with the police who are gladly here to protect and serve, which include neating down those we protect shalom to all and to all a good night
