If you don't know what I'm talking about, read this first: Arrest Sets Off a Protest by Orthodox Jews
What is there to say?
On one hand, I can understand the beginning of the argument. The guy was deaf, couldn't hear the cop, and the people who stood up for him were right - considering the circumstances, I agree that there was use of excessive force.
But talk about excessive force. Burning a cop car?
It makes me sad because they should know better. They should know that they're going to be judged based on the fact of their Judaism. That people will see it and think poorly of Jews. How could someone burn a police car and not think of the chillul Hashem that they're making?
