Surveillance video identified the culprit behind the hate graffiti.

Former Cop Arrested for Anti-Semitic Graffiti Spree

A former New York City police officer has been arrested after surveillance video identified him as the culprit behind a spate of anti-Semitic graffiti that shocked the Jewish community of Borough Park over Shabbos.

The graffiti was spray-painted in various locations in the neighborhood late on Friday night, and was discovered by shocked members of the community on Shabbos morning.

Clear surveillance footage allowed for the likeness of the perpetrator to be handed over to the police and local media fairly quickly.

After a nightlong investigation, detectives of the 66th Precinct announced the arrest of a suspect Sunday morning. Shockingly, the suspect is a former officer of the NYPD, assigned to the 68th Precinct.

    My goodness.

    Too bad he did not find a better way to get attention.

    Now he is famous for a few days . . .

    Why is everyone making a big deal of his having once been a cop, and nobody is pointing out that he’s Indonesian, i.e. Moslem?

    he needs therapy. theres nothing else to do but think of hate? Get therapy and get a life.
    they should make him remove it all himself.
