NYC Wants Death Penalty In Terror Trials, Germany Doesn't
Chrissie Brodigan argues with Officer Joel Witriol during her arrest for disorderly conduct after she was stopped for carrying her sick pug out of the subway station. (Jason Wagner)
Brodigan denies the allegation of antisemitism cited by the Post's witness and a second anonymous source, and says the article has made her life hell, with strangers gathering outside her apartment building to call her a bigot and, on one occasion, shout, "You deserve to die!" She is now contemplating suing the Post for slander, and tells us:
I believe that the Post fabricated their witness for salacious story-telling, I also believe that the NYPD could have planted her as a way to spin the story because I don't have a record and have never been in trouble with the law. In other words, the only way to discredit me would be to make something up... To be absolutely clear: Even in the heat of the moment I did not use anti-Semitic remarks against the officer. I did say things like "screw you" and was sarcastic in asking for the tickets so I could go home. I did not even say the words "Jewish" or "Jew" or utter a single ethnic slur. And, to be even more clear, those words and statements [alleged in the Post] have NEVER crossed my lips. Not that day. And, not any other day in my life. Ever.
The Post's article is credited to Reuven Fenton and Reuven Blau; the latter reporter has previously written about Hasidic cops, including Kalman Witriol, the brother of officer Joel Witriol, who arrested Brodigan and allegedly roughed her up while saying, "If you're going to act like a woman I'm going to treat you like a woman." Reached for comment, Fenton told us that Blau was the one who found the witness, Viane Delgado, who says she/he heard Brodigan's anti-Semitic remarks. Fenton says he doesn't know how Blau found Delgado—she is not quoted by any other news outlet and we haven't been able to find her. Blau has not responded to repeated requests for comment.
Brodigan's attorney, Jonathon D. Warner, tells us, "I'm a Jewish lawyer and I firmly believe she did not utter any anti-Semitic remarks, and I would not represent her if I thought otherwise." Brodigan says she'll find out today whether she's losing her job, and she's expected to appear in court on August 25th to face the disorderly conduct charge.

edEx is a zionist who would follow you to your end if you offend or question the neo-con agenda. This is the same guy who posted all the links to her facebook, linkin and other personal information. I think it is shame how they play the race card and harass people who even questions or criticize their action no matter who wrong they are. I hope she wins a lot of money from this suit. i bet the crazy zionist with his ALL DAY ALL NIGHT comments was stalking her at her neighborhood. shame.
Is "zionist" is now a synonym for "dirty jew"? I see it thrown around without a second thought these days. Ever cared to look up the words definition?
Zionism is racism, in the form of the belief held by Zionists that Jews constitute a race (or ethnic group or however they see themselves) superior to all others, and in particular to those, the Palestinians,
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=zionism
The term "anti-semitic" is used by some people as synonymous
with "anti-Israeli". This is a typically Zionist smear tactic to brand
all criticism of Israel as anti-semitic. This should not prevent us
from criticising Israel, which richly deserves criticism, or rather,
condemnation, in the strongest possible terms, for its outrageous
and immoral treatment of the Palestinians and for its pernicious
influence on U.S. government and society. Only a coward would
refrain from criticising Israel because of fear of being labelled
"anti-semitic"
That might or might not be true, and posting the same thing four times certainly doesn't make it so. However, we are discussing an incident between a NYPD cop and a Brooklyn resident on a train in New York. How do Israel and neocons get into the picture?

geez, my remarks were directed at Edex who has stalked me because of my criticism of Israel's bombing schools. Also I think we all know posting it 4 times does not make it true. I don't know why it posted 4 times, it was not my intention.

Felix, you're a racist. Good luck with that.
yes, and exEx the zionist likes to play the race card as he cheered the bombing of occupied schools in Palestine.
nothing like a good slanderer. Fucking loser.
Felix, you're not worth the air to waste with an intellectual discussion. You're a troll and a shameless racist.

EXED, it is YOU that is a racist because your zionist belief is that jewish are beyond reproach and you attack and stalk anyone who criticize any member of your race. The New York Post has not yet produce this supposed witness and yet you post her personal information and judge her as guilty. Based on what???? Based on race because you are racist.
Zionism is most definitely racism. It is based on the concept of Jewish nationhood. And, the Israeli government has been trying unsuccessfully to convince the world and force Palestinians to support the creation of an exclusively Jewish state on their own lands. This is racism, plain and simple. No other country in the world is established as an exclusive homeland for only one people or religion.
But, really, this is a separate topic from the Pug and NYPD issue. Not sure how this discussion veered to this topic.
It starts with edEx who stalks me because I offended him with my criticism of Israel and now he calls with racist. I am for human rights and animal rights. I am not racist or speciest.
England. Homeland of the Anglo-Saxons, Official Religion: C of E. -It's very easy to be anti-zionist when the homeland of your people is such a given entity that its heritage, customs and religion are so common as to be an afterthought. It is romantic as Americans for us to forsake the notion that peoples and cultures need countries to live in because we live in the one country that is established to be no ones homeland, but your sense of cultural identity can still safely rest in some country in Europe. If you have no cultural identity other than American, then you are culturally bankrupt (*think Paris Hilton). The same principal applies to Jews: without a Jewish homeland, there can be no flourishing Jewish culture. To seek actively to deny the Jewish people of a place to call home is the truly racist position.
Felix is a racist, but mainly biased toward the human race. Of course he's taking the Pug's side in this.
why does felixthecat feel the need to post mean-spirited things about jews (using the code-word "zionists") like a hundred times? go crawl back under your rock...

I guess white chicks need this too.
This article is all...original Gothamist reporting??
let's keep it under 200 comments this time folks, this baby is losing steam.
This is bullshit. How is it legal for an employer to fire someone for allegations (that's right, just allegations) of misconduct outside of the workplace, which she denies and which has not be proven? I hope she sues the Post and her employer for slander.
It's legal because NYS is an "employment-at-will" state, where unless there's a contract stating differently, unless the firing is the result of discrimination against a protected class, or unless a couple of other specific exceptions apply, anyone can be fired for any reason.
And should probably have added: or even for no reason at all, or a reason that seems unfair. On the other hand, an employee can also leave a job anytime without reason and without being required to give notice.
http://www.heebmagazine.com/blog/view/1876 heeb magazine spins this a little differently
OMFG awesome article!
"The barfing bitch’s owner, Chrissie Brodigan, swears she was manhandled, verbally assaulted and arrested by NYPD’s first Hasidic cop just because her pup was sick. "
Ah and now, a week later, she clearly remembers what she did or did not say when that was not the case the day after it happened.
Well, she wanted to be a drama queen and mouth off to and struggle with the cops instead of just taking her ticket and then wanted to put the attention on herself by going to the press and making further public comments. Now that may cost her her job. It's the old saying, "be careful what you wish for." You wanted attention, now you've got it.
Still, what's the deal with these Post witnesses?
I can tell you for a fact, that in the past month i have not made any anti-semetic comments.
you don't have to clearly remember your exact words to know whether or not you uttered ethnic slurs.
True. But her comments after the fact indicated that she couldn't remember whether she did or did not make any ethnic slurs and there was a lot of hedging and wiggle room left. Now, much later, she is saying that she definitely did not. Again I'm not saying which side I come down on or who I find more credible. I'm simply saying that most of her public comments have only served to hurt her credibility.
Also, if you look at the series of photos it appears that Witriol and the other officers are all very calm (look at facial expressions, lack of movement). The only one freaking out is Brodigan which is why she's all blurry in the photos (motion blur because of low shutter speed). But of course that also doesn't tell the whole story as who knows what happened before and after the photos were taken, we don't see that.
i guess the bottom line is that someone needs to find this witness. to be honest, i'll trust a stranger more than i trust the post.
I, too, am surprised that Brodigan is sure of what she said now, when she commented here on Gothamist the day after that she was not sure what she said in the heat of the moment. Just another example of why it's best not to run around blabbing your mouth about stuff like this unless you're legally required to! She may have dug herself into a hole on this one.
no surprise. she lawyered up. and the guy rightly told her to get off the internet and make a strong statement against the accusations.
Right....it was an NYPD plant.
Because you're so dangerous and powerful once Ray Kelly found out about that the all powerful "chrissieb" was given a ticket he immeditely called Rupert Murdoch and decided that the best way to stop the massive public outrage that would threaten to bring down the department would be to make up a story about you making some anti-semitic remarks.
uh, i hardly think this measly case "would threaten to bring down the department" in lieu of the beatings, shootings, rapes, and corruption that characterize the department already. plant fail.
Identification and comprehension of sarcasm fail.

work it baby. work it.
This is pretty screwed up. Being suspended/fired over heresay is not cool.
On another note, she does not look like the VP type.
"Plum TV is a new type of niche media network." It's a channel about rich people for rich people, being broadcast only in such places as Vail, Aspen and the Hamptons. That could explain a lot.
I think it explains EVERYTHING.
This is pretty screwed up. Being suspended/fired over heresay is not cool.
On another note, she does not look like the VP type.
This really does sound like bullshit. Where's the witness? Did the arresting officer say she used racial slurs?
As far as I know, Officer Witriol has not commented publicly.
Does anyone else think they should be looking for a witness named Diane Velgado? I mean this is the Post here, we can't exactly count on them to catch typos.
Maybe she was just a lousy worker and this was the final straw for her employer...
Her employer's not too smart to tell her that. That's an automatic wrongful termination lawsuit if she's actually fired/
Really? How do you know that? Are you aware of her previous performance reviews? Do you know for a fact that she may or may not have been warned for job related issues? Was she hired at will? It is not as automatic as you think.
"That's an automatic wrongful termination lawsuit if she's actually fired"
No it's not. NYS is an employment-at-will state. Short of discrimination or a couple of situations specified in state labor law unless there's a contract in place anyone can be fired anytime for any reason.
When you read of "wrongful termination," the grounds normally are that some incident or performance issue is given by the employer as the reason, while it's really a reason involving discrimination -- or that an employment contract was in effect.
Since that's come up twice already here, here's a reference:
http://www.labor.state.ny.us/workerprotection/laborstandards/faq.shtm#14
We don't know all the circumstances between her and her employer. Perhaps she called in sick and then was discovered wandering around the subways screaming at the police.
Most companies don't like for their high level employees to generate a lot of publicity about their private lives. The company may feel this woman has negatively impacted their business through all of this publicity.
"Most companies don't like for their high level employees to generate a lot of publicity about their private lives."
In fact, at my company our personnel policy specifies about 15 things that may be grounds for dismissal, including "illegal activity which may bring the company into public disrepute."
Once her employer was being mentioned in connection with this story, that kind of clause is effective.
But again, it's not necessary to have any reason. We list those things to aid in defending against unemployment compensations claims. In NYS you can fire anyone without needed cause, but they'll almost automatically get full unemployment coverage. If you document that they were in violation of clearly established policy, that might not happen.
Scooby Dooby Viane Delgado, where are you, we've got some facts to verify...
speaking of frauds, isn't that corner bistro incident kid still working as a 'journalist' even though he printed lies in his article?
that kid should have been fired.
Another very passive denial, "I believe..." fits very well with her previous "I don't recall..."
How would the co-author of the article have no idea where the witness, of which their entire headline story was based, came from?? Or maybe that's the way they work at the Post!
Exactly, unless they can come up with one witness named "Viane Delgado", the accusations are baseless. An independent witness has said that the hate speech stuff was completely untrue.
For now, until this Viane character shows up, I tend to believe the eyewitness that is verified and reachable.
Another thing: What does the police report say? I would think that if Chrissie DID start spewing off a load of anti-Semitic stuff, the report would document it. Can the public see the report?
Chrissie, Don't give up, Sue the New York Post and put the rag out of business. Demand they produce this so called witness. I support you.
Yeah that's a shame
Maybe she might actually learn that you reap what you sow in this world
Probably not
But its possible
While she was certainly wrong in her own way, I think you have completely missed the point. Being terminated for a baseless accusation by a ghost witness that nobody can find is pretty terrible, and not at all the fruit of what she sowed.
Maybe you might feel the same way when the Post invents a witness to depict you as a crazy anti-semite, and reap your own damn crap.
Hey everyone, it's ok! Her Jewish lawyer "believes she did not utter any anti-semitic remarks"!
Chalk one up for lawyers everywhere!
There are witnesses that support her allegations against this officer yet the post and other zionists attack this woman. Until the rag NY Post produce this "witness" then I will stand by her. Of course the Post and their supporters will play the race card. I hope she is fired because she can sue the Post for slander. She has a great case.
Bet she wont be bringing a puking dog on the train anymore. Instead of acting like a lunatic, she could have taken her ticket and gone home, probably costing her a few hundred dollars. Live and learn sweetie.
It wasn't that she didn't take the ticket. It's because, when she could procure no government ID, the officer refused to give her the ticket and then things got messy.
The Post would never make anything up to sell papers!
Felix, you obviously have zero understanding of the law.
what law? Your Law??? Nope, i don't have any understanding or interest in your law. NY Post has not produced this witness that claimed Chrissie made anti-semitic remarks and there are witnesses that assert Chrissie's claims. So I am inclined to believe Chrissie until the NY Post and NYPD produces Ms. Delgado.
Your Law???
what are you: an east german mercenary mistakenly revealing himself to john mcClane over the phone while referring to fort knox?
we all suffer by the same laws... the ones that sadly protect your inane ranty-ness.
we don't all suffer by the same law, don't drink the kool-aid. Laws are interpreted and applied subjectively. I am not german, nitwit.
don't drink the kool-aid It's comforting to know you reference a tragedy to make a subtle point about a story like this.
You keep stating how little importance this story is to you yet you do follow it and comment on it. oh, the irony.
in the grand scheme of things-it is pretty insignificant. I follow the story out of curiosity-nothing more nothing less. What is ironic is that you ramble on about the inhumanity of Israel's attacks yet are rather glib while referring to a horrific event in history. You can copy and paste links into your replies as much as you want to-I find it amusing you have the energy to do this. Perhaps you will be fired for spending so much time on this site when you should be working... If that is the case i will support your superior's decision to shitcan you at the drop of a hat. Until then, don't drink any Flavor-Aid
LOL, I do have lots of energy, I am eating, reading and typing at this moment and if the phone rings then I will also be talking. Why all the interest in me??? i got a girl already and she is a keeper so move on buddy.
No interest really-don't flatter yourself... So how is that beard working out for you?
LOL, beard? you don't have interest in me and you want to know if I have a beard. LOL. I shave clean, find someone else to beat to. LOL
whatever you say

What exactly are you looking for? You want the NYPD to immediately produce the witness JUST FOR YOU Felix?
Once the investigation is over, you will have your witness and statement, but you still won't be satisfied with the outcome.
You will continue to rant and rave with your adolescent grasp of the English language and tofu-loving tree-hugging stuck-in-the-70's interpretation of the law.
You have not written ONE intelligent comment or contributed positively to ANY story on Gothamist, EVER. You continue to poke and prod decent intellects who aren't looking for a comment bitch-fest.
You don't understand that when someone disagrees with you, they are not wrong, they simply have their own opinion. You make false claims, repeat ignorant irrelevant posts, and you copy/paste diatribe from despicable websites.
You are consistently being proved wrong, your opinion has become a laughing stock, no one wants to hear your unoriginal regurgitated bullshit. You want to be a mouthpiece for animal rights? You're doing it wrong. Fail fail fail fail.
Felixthecat, you have no shame, this is clear. Have a little respect.
Billed and charged. Pay up, Felixthecat2.
If Brodigan did make such comments, she is indeed a horrible person. If the cop did say, "If you're going to act like a woman I'm going to treat you like a woman," he too is nothing more than scum. I don't know Brodigan personally, but if she's as crazy as indicated by others who have interacted with her, it seems feasible under such circumstances. In the latter example, I unfortunately have been the victim of numerous instances of sexist behavior from Hasidic men, so it wouldn't surprise me.
In any case, most of us will never know for sure, so speculation is pointless.
dogs and cats should be allowed on transit if they are leashed, stupid laws!
Right, and you're going to clean up all the shit and pee that's going to fill the subway platform. Fantastic!
How would you distinguish it from the bum excreta already there?
Clean them all let god sort them out.
Plum TV? Did you check out their website? It's basically Colbert Platinum, except it's not a joke.
"The Plum TV network is 24/7 television on local basic cable and online for America’s most beautiful and treasured communities. These beaches and mountain resorts are the places America’s affluent go to rejuvenate. And Plum makes dedicated local programming that reflects the authentic interests, passions and lifestyle of the people who love to spend time there."
Interesting. How much of their audience happens to be Jewish, you think? Bet that factors into the CEO's irritation.
I don't think the alleged remarks are an issue as much as the unwanted attention. Plum TV's employees are supposed to highlight the obnoxious behavior of socialites, not of themselves.
They did remove their piece about the Madoffs. Give them that?
This whole thing has gotten so out of hand, and everything seems to be pretty much hearsay at this point. I'm sure that both he and she did or said things they regret, but I doubt she would be dumb enough to say the things claimed by some untraceable witness (I also think that if he did say the things she claimed, they were not meant to be interpreted the way they were).
She should have done what she was told, shut up, and paid a fine. Anything that happens to her at this point is really a direct result of her own actions... While I do think it is wrong for her boss to fire her over alleged (and likely invalidly attributed) remarks, if I were her boss, I would fire her for making such a spectacle of herself on the internet, especially for a new media company. There is little value, at this point, that she could add to a new media company as her notoriety would detract from their purpose and message (albeit vapid as it is)
Maybe there is some sort of secret NYPD/Post/Hassidic cabal, but I doubt it (even though there likely is a NYPD/Post cabal). At the same time, you should never argue with a cop and start a fight; as big of a-holes as many of them are, you will never ever win that argument and likely get punished more for even starting it (even if it's totally unfair).
"everything seems to be pretty much hearsay at this point"
Umm...everything was hearsay from the start. Nothing has happened yet.
it really is not a he said and she said, she said has confirmed witnesses and he said has an unconfirmed witness that he or the NY Post has made up to vilify her as anti-semitic.
FYI, she'd be suing the Post for libel, not slander.
Massive Backfire.
So you either get 1.6 million from the NYPD by blogging your story (as in the case of the guy pulled off his bike)
or you get fired from your job.
I don't think either risk is one worth taking. Keep some things private people.
"So you either get 1.6 million from the NYPD by blogging your story (as in the case of the guy pulled off his bike)"
Fail: a) The cyclist was violently tackled off his bicycle by a rookie cop with anger issues then was charged with assault based on a false police report filed by said rookie cop and partner. b) The incident was a non-headline until people tracked down a tourist's video taping of the incident. c) The cyclist did not speak to the press or address any of the issues publicly until some time passed after the incident.

I know you like agreeing with yourself but holy shit, man. Get a job.
ha, wait, did you just accuse me of being a Felix-owned account?
So, if I understood you correctly, you'll believe that I'm a fabrication of somebody else on the site before you'll accept that one of the 108 comments here would be at odds with your viewpoints and not be owned by your sparring partner, Felix?
That ego must get so heavy sometimes.
Or maybe you were referencing his quote of Manitoba, in which case I assume he was probably just using it to show how you'd just been proven wrong in response to your barb, "You are consistently being proved wrong."
Either way...
Am I being accused of being an alter-ego for felix2? That terrifies me.
I want to state for the record that I whole-heartedly endorse the slaughter of all of the Canadian geese, rats, pigeons and squirrels in New York. Further, I think that blind poodle should have been left in the shaft.
Also, I think both Brodigan and Witriol should be fired from their jobs and sent to Venezuala - they both sound like morons.
O.K. cool. Just because he copied and pasted one of your comments, that's all.
I also want to state that I don't dislike any of the posters here, even if I do leave obnoxious comments from time to time (like the one where I called you "Einstein"). It's all in the name of good fun when procrastinating on the internet, but never personal.
What exactly are you looking for? You want the NYPD to immediately produce the witness JUST FOR YOU Felix?
Well, ethically speaking, they'll need to produce the witness if and when this case goes to trial... I sort of doubt Felix is insisting Viane Delgado be found for his own agenda. So while I don't much care to join the festival of hate you two have going on, I also have to agree - finding the Post witness would really clear some things up for those who want to know the truth, mainly but not limited to The NYPD and Chrissie Brodigan.
Who likes pugs anyway? If it was a golden I would have more sympathy.
Based on whats been reported, she's lying through her teeth. She's using the same Clinton defense about not remembering anything.
People get very attached to their pets and consider them their little children. So I can imagine that this woman went off the wall on the cop when he challenged her about it.

I believe no one that posted a comment here was on the subway when this happens, so I think we should all chill and see what the investigation will bring we must give the benefit of doubt to all involved, now I want to make a point regarding Hasidim I’m not Hasidic and I don’t live in the neighborhood but I work in the north of Williamsburg, I can say based on the language and preconceived notion people have here about Hasidim is shameful and I’m talking liberal open people, they put all Hasidim in the same light like I heard lately someone complaining they are Chauvinistic or male chauvinists they don’t know how to behave to women etc. Hasidic women are miserable, the males are unhappy. I work with some of them very few I must add, but they are like all of us, and in all cultures there is behave and misbehave so to put them all in basket is untrue, I believe most of us living and working don’t even come in contact with them, and if you do its very few, so give them a break like you would give others.
99.9% of the time I see a family on the train, the fat toad of a worthless husband is sitting while the wife stands, holding all of the bags and managing all of the children, probably after working 12 hours in some office to support her husband's "rabbi studies" (i.e., full day of sitting around doing nothing).
I'm not sure if I would call the men chauvinists, but the expectations of what the wife has to do versus the husband is so out of whack in my opinion, that I will freely call the whole "arrangement" messed up and worth disintegrating.
There's a reason most of our families adapted to Western ways and integrated into society.
By the way, I have had interactions with many of the men and women, professionally and through personal contacts, and little I have seen or heard has swayed me from my feelings about this.
first are you some kind of scientist that you make up percentages, second by seeing a fat toad don’t you think you see what you want to see, and finally since you have no idea what’s going in their community FYI most, almost with out using your percentages the husbands work and their wives are house wives so check your percentages first before you comment on something, you are the typical reason I wrote in the first place, and you know what, maybe you should speak to them with out prejudice maybe you will see what you see in others, good luck.
I have nothing to add but this.
This makes me like pugs more, not less. I would prefer, though, if it were pushing a stroller full of cans or a broken tv.
that is both heartwarming and incredibly dumb. i love it.
This dumb bitch IS an anti-semite; she incriminated herself by saying that she didn't "recall" saying anything anti-semitic, which is the same as saying "Yeah, I could have said those anti-semitic things."
anti-semite or not...this crazy lady dug her own grave. She even went as far as to clearly admit to wrong doing on her own twitter. Genius.
She even looks crazy. I know that was mean but in this case the cover agrees with the contents.
I didn't know "Jew" was a racial slur.
i dunno about Jew being a racial slur, but I think "dirty Jew" might be just a little bit offensive?
Valeriob is obsessed with me. Lol. Also he is lonely and needs validation from anonymous Gothamist posters. When he is ignored he starts crying like a little girl. Pathetic.

What's with the sandy vagina?
Quality over quanity, baby.
AlsoWaldo valeriob thinks anyone who doesn't agree that animals should be abused or doesn't laugh at his lame juvenile jokes must be me. He has inferiority complex. Sad

I don't think animals should be abused. I DO think that when you claim they are, they aren't being abused at all.
You're taking sides with this crazy bag lady but in reality she abused her puking pug by putting it in a backpack on the subway with no air and hundreds of people could have potentially stomped the shit out of it when she had it out of the bag.
Maybe you should get that dick out of your ear and listen up, yea?

Since when is "Jew" a racist remark? Jewbag, yes. Jew? No.
It is sad how people play the race card to justify their misdoings. This woman shouldn't have been arrested and shouldt lose her job over this. Not to mention harassed by people at her doorstep.
Dude, STOP COMMENTING FROM YOUR IPHONE! It's obviously not working correctly!
She actually should have been arrested for resisting the requests for identification from a police officer. All she had to do was shut up and comply with the requests, and she would now be at home tweeting away.
And, she should be fired, not for alleged racist remarks but for acting in an unprofessional manner and drawing undesired, negative attention to her employer.
Per your logic then you must adhere to your employer's code of conduct afterhours? No way.My boss doesn't own me

Without the ethnic slurs in the police report to corroborate the Post reporting on the event, she can and should sue the post for slander.
Fact: the only reason Felixthecat2 even cares about this is because a dog is tangentially involved. As such, he will vociferously defend the woman, regardless of what she may or may not have said.
I am againt police brutality. Animal abuse and sexism. If the police falsified a witness then it is a serious matter. If the post invented a witness to villify her than it is libel. Not only can she lose her job but a nut can hurt her.

Free speech is dead in America. RIP.
Felix, let it rest a bit, you're getting looser than usual. Wait for the progress of the case, the sequence of legal procedure will follow. I'm sure we'll find updates here (grin, JDS, you shyte-stirring bugger!).
Nothing we say here matters, except to us.
As an aside: From my personal viewpoint, do we have a prisoner-exchange program with Utah? I think I'd prefer having the Hipster-Grifter back. Much more fun with the Asian, tattoo, sex and opportunism. Vote, everybody?
Pigs never falsify reports. ahem, critical-mass-tackling, ahem.
So wait...let's break this down:
"Fucking" is not a slur. "Jew" is not a slur. "You're less than human" is an insult but not a slur. And so the adding of them together in context is a slur?
Well - if it was even said while she was being manhandled - couldn't any good lawyer argue that she intended to yell each as a separate statement?
No sides here. Just trying to determine the logic of how an assumed slur (from either side) determines the legal outcome of this debacle.
Viane Delgado is actually Patrick Pogan in drag!

no animals were hurt in the posting of your irrelevant link, right?
Despite agreeing that felix is a little absurd at times (okay, most of the time), I think the link is slightly relevant in regards to the NYPD going to extremes to protect their own. For the conspiracy theorists out there, this Brodigan story may feel like a a cover-up in some way... so, maybe the link is pertinent. Then again, who cares.
Is his name pronounced "Vitriol"?
And why does he look like the evil parking garage valet from Ferris Bueller's Day Off?
The woman is off the hook, I know her personally.
Read the comments from people that know her on the original NYP article, unstable, passive aggressive, attention seeker, bad employment history.
We all have issues, but what is boils down here is respect. Respect your animals, respect the law, respect others. It's not so hard, is it?
