Then again, the victim in the following article is the real loser: at the hands of the NYPD, and at the hands of the amoebic parameciums who felt that Ms. Gardner had no right to live where she wanted to.
Racism definately is still around in so-called post-racial America, and these young punks have no knowledge nor care that this bridge called our backs brought them over into mainstream America’s arms, while they continue to hold racist views against Black people———–be those Black people cops, or a fellow neighbor.

Exclusive: As black, white cops bickered over bias crime, victim sez she was insulted, too

Black detectives who got into a tense confrontation with white cops while investigating a bias crime aren’t the only ones who say they were disrespected.
The black crime victim has come forward to say she was mistreated, as well, by a uniformed officer from the 61st Precinct in Gravesend.
Shalon Gardner said she told an officer a witness saw a gang of Jewish kids use a racial epithet when they shot out her car windows with a BB gun on July 16.
“Even if I found the witness, he wouldn’t come forward because the rabbi will excommunicate him,” the cop said, she told the Daily News.
“He was nasty and rude, like he didn’t even care,” said Gardner, who works in a Gravesend bank and volunteers as an auxiliary cop in East Flatbush.
Gardner was so upset by the cop’s brushoff that she later called NYPD Internal Affairs to lodge a complaint.
The precinct’s integrity officer contacted her two weeks ago and said her complaint had been “substantiated and the officers disciplined,” she said.
Gardner tried unsuccessfully to get a copy of the complaint the officer took.
The Daily News obtained a copy of the police report and it contains no mention of a witness claiming the perpetrators shouted ,”f—— n—— shouldn’t park here.”
The case is marked “closed” and the report states the windows were smashed “by unknown means.”
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne did not respond to a request for comment.
After Internal Affairs learned the vandalism may have been racially motivated, the Hate Crimes Task Force launched an investigation.
But when three detectives – two black, one Pakistani – canvassed the area, a member of a local Jewish community patrol allegedly called the precinct and complained they were impersonators.
The detectives say uniformed cops who responded treated them more like criminals than comrades – demanding identification. The NYPD is probing the faceoff, in which a sergeant and a detective had to be physically restrained.
