More cops for Crown Heights
The NYPD will send more cops into Crown Heights in a bid to calm tensions between blacks and Jews in the Brooklyn neighborhood, sources told the Daily News.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly made a surprise tour of Brooklyn's 71st and 77th precincts Monday night, including a stop at a local synagogue.
Jewish community leaders met with top aides to Mayor Bloomberg at City Hall Tuesday and came away with assurances more cops would be on the streets starting last night, sources said.
Police presence in Crown Heights has been growing since Friday, when more than 200 Orthodox Jews marched to the 71st Precinct stationhouse.
The group rallied on behalf of 16-year-old Alon Sherman, who was pummeled and robbed of his bike by two black teens earlier in the day.
"The protesters randomly tried to stop at least one car full of black people. If police hadn't been there, it could have gotten nasty," said a police source who worked the demonstration.
Jewish protesters said the assault on Alon should have been labeled a bias attack and charged the NYPD and Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes with doling out two kinds of justice: one for blacks and one for Jews.

We don't need more Police (Like Larry). We want more Shmira and Shomrim. Rotten officers should be sent to the projects where criminals who refer to them as "PIGS" can take target practice.
The above comment is directed to Rotten officers (you know who you are). Good police officers will always be welcome, but we know there is a shortage of those, especially in Crown Heights.

oh I get it now its our way or its the wrong way some people want the cake and eat it also, but if someone says something different they are wrong, some people call the police and complain and if they don't get their way it is anti Semitic but if they get their way its ok.
not every crime against a JEW is a attack because of their religion .
If it is so bad here and everything is so wrong why don't people move to some place else that goes for any nationality russian,irish,spanish,black,caribbean,
