What do you think a shul hired rent-a-cop would do if a real attack took place chalila?! Are you sure he won’t take a lunch break? Our community has to stop outsourcing our security needs.
Yup. He was looking to harass a different taxpayer or give a parking ticket to some unsuspecting citizen.
Lowlife idiot drek hits an innocent pedestrian and just shrugs it off and drives off because “he doesn’t want to go back to jail”. Why would he think that he would automatically go to jail for mistakenly striking someone that was riding in the street. It was an accident. You didn’t run a red light or stop sign. Now you’re definitely going to jail. No brains!
