That's some tragic irony right there.

STATEMENTS FROM RABBIS AND JEWISH ACTIVISTS AFTER CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE ACTION DEMANDING POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY AND REFORM

Prominent NYC rabbis and Jewish community leaders blocked traffic on Upper West Side - 96th street and Broadway - as part of #ThisStopsToday protests

New York, NY – On the late evening of Thursday December 4, 27 people, including four rabbis (Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum, Rabbi Jill Jacobs, Rabbi Shai Held, and Rabbi David Rosenn) were arrested following an Upper West Side protest in which demonstrators blocked traffic on 96th street. The protest was organized by Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ), in coordination with the #ThisStopsToday coalition, in responses to a Staten Island Grand Jury's failure to indict Daniel Pantaleo, the NY police officer responsible for the chokehold homicide of Eric Garner, and growing national outrage over the systemic lack of accountability for the killing and discriminatory and abusive targeting of people of color by the police.

Protesters gathered to yell at New York police officers mourning their slain colleagues outside a memorial on Monday night.

The group of five people were heard shouting about Eric Garner and Michael Brown at the corner in Brooklyn where officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were shot dead on Saturday afternoon, which is now covered in flowers and tributes.

He's been seeing more people than usual down at the clinic. They are doing good work trying to help folks work through this Eric Garner thing.

The NYPD’s chief of department abruptly quit Friday rather than take a promotion from Police Commissioner Bill Bratton that the chief believed was a powerless position setting him up for failure, law-enforcement sources told The Post.

Philip Banks III was to be promoted to first deputy commissioner at a ceremony Monday but backed out at the last minute during a heated meeting at Police Headquarters, sources said.

“You still have not done anything. You have not changed the direction of the Police Department. You asked me to come up with six or seven policies that you did not implement,” Banks fumed at the city’s top cop.

“The department is just going to go further into turmoil, and I don’t want to get blamed for that.”

The move left the NYPD without a black or Hispanic person in any of its top three positions after Bratton’s ouster of First Deputy Rafael Pineiro, who resigned under pressure in September.

On Friday evening, thousands of New Yorkers attended a memorial service for Rafael Ramos, one of the two NYPD officers assassinated a week ago by an Eric Garner protester. The service brought mourners from every corner of the city. Noticeably late was embattled Mayor Bill de Blasio, who made it to the service only just before its conclusion.
