TIL there's a taxpayer funded Jewish police-like force operating in United States

Goddamn I would've paid to see that Jew hit across the face with a baseball bat. The Jews have been kicked out of every country they have ever inhabited since the beginning of time. Have you ever thought that maybe it's not the inhabitants of said countries that are the problem? I wonder what would happen if a group of hasidics tried something like that here in Texas.

You are the first person I've ever known that had a serious, vindictive, to-the-core hatred for Jewish people. I don't understand it.

I thought you were in Oz.

At the very least, a prolonged blast of some strong ass OC spray would've been appropriate. I'd like to know what kind of aftermath, if any, there was from this.

So, after watching this video:

I learned that these people exist:

Am I reading this correctly? A police department trained, and tax payer partially funded groups of Hasidic and Haredi Jewish police?

How? What?


"Many residents of Hasidic neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Baltimore, and Stamford Hill tend to call Shomrim in an emergency rather than the police. Shomrim cites its faster response time, knowledge of the territory, and ability to speak Yiddish, the language of the Hasidic community, for the residents' preference. While the expectation is for Shomrim to notify police, this is done in some cases but not in others."


That sounds more like gang protection.
