Orthodox Jewish Community horrified by allegation
The Jewish Orthodox Community Council
(JOCC) is shocked by recent allegations that children
of the Chassidic
community were told not to pay attention to a female
police officer.
Without commenting on the alleged incident (due to
the reported
investigation), our position is clear:
The Talmud states: "DINA DMALCHISA DINA" the law
of the land is the law.
As equal citizens residing in Quebec, all members
of authority, both
female and male, are held in the highest regard and
the laws of the land is
respected. These values are taught to our children as
well.
Any allegation to the contrary is unjust.

Angry driver tries to run over police officer
Presse Canadienne
Tuesday, March 06, 2007
Montreal police are investigating an incident that occured in Cote des Neiges early Sunday morning, in which a police officer was nearly deliberately run over by a car.
A female police officer was assigned to keep watch over a large group of young people who were crossing Vimy St. after what witnesses said was a gathering of Hassidic Jews.
Spotting two men who seemed to be drunk, she approached them and tried to give them a ticket, Sgt. Ian Lafreniere said. Another man then intervened, ordered the two not to talk to the police officer, and took a photograph of the officer.
After she asked the group to move along, the suspect got into a car and tried to run the officer over, Lafreniere said. She escaped uninjured, while the man fled back in the building.
When other police officers arrived for backup, they searched the building but could not locate the suspect in the crowd. It was difficult to identify the man because everyone in the room was wearing similar clothing, Lafreniere said.
The suspect is still at large, Lafreniere said. If located, he could face charges of armed assault, for trying to run over the officer, and intimidation, because he took a photograph of the officer.

Outremont man could be charged with assaulting cop
Reportedly tried to hit her with car

Police are investigating an incident in an Orthodox Jewish neighbourhood in Cote des Neiges early Sunday in which they allege a man tried to run his car into a female officer and took a photograph of her giving a ticket to two drunken revellers.
The man, who had not been arrested yesterday, could face charges of assault with a weapon and intimidation, police said.
Montreal police were called to de Vimy Ave., north of Van Horne Ave., shortly before 1 a.m. by neighbours complaining of people setting off firecrackers to celebrate the Purim holiday. The officers closed off the street to maintain order and remained on the scene to keep an eye on partygoers, Sgt. Ian Lafreniere said.
Police said one officer stopped two young men who were highly intoxicated and jaywalking. While she was giving them a ticket for public drunkenness and not crossing at the intersection, a man in his 50s came up, took a photo of the officer, and told the men they did not have to identify themselves and were free to leave.
He then got into a vehicle. As the officer stood behind the car, writing the licence-plate number, he backed up the car toward her, police said. She jumped out of the way, then went to the front of the car. At that point the man made a second move in her direction, then drove off, Lafreniere said. The officer was unharmed.
"We believe there was an intention" to drive into the woman, Lafreniere said.
The man parked the car in the driveway of a nearby house where a party with about 50 people was going on. He went inside.
The officer could not pick out the man from among the similarly dressed people inside, police said. Investigators later traced the owner of the car; he was not the man driving the vehicle, but he owns the house where the party was taking place.
