I met Chrissy at Bowery Bar before with her foster pug, and she was nothing but the kindest, gentlest pet owner. We took a cab ride home and talked about dog rescue, which is a big cause in Chrissy' life.

Also I'm Jewish and I thought she was hitting on me when we hung out, so I'm pretty sure she's not anti-Semitic. This is terrible what is happening to her.

@Videodrew: I've had plenty of Xtian guys hit on me who also harbor anti-Semitic views (for classic example of cognitive dissonance, try Strom Thurmond and his black daughter).

I'm not saying it did or didn't happen - I think the truth is somewhere in between her being 100% innocent and the cop being 100% right - but there are plenty of people who say one thing yet sleep with another.

Aren't we missing the obvious point here? It starts small, but soon you shall see: Pugs Are Out To Destroy Us.

@FormerEnglishMajor:

I thought the point was to tell us, in an offhand way, that orthodox jews have infiltrated the NYPD. An attempt to kick the quality of plea bargaining up a notch?

It makes me feel a lot better about my one horrifying experience with an improv group in college. We were doing the thing where they stop the action and you have to create a new skit based on the current position of your body. I yelled out "Don't move! Shtetl Vice!" Even the crickets were embarassed (though I did get asked out by the only jewish girl in the group).

@Uncle_Billy_Slumming: Well, I am sure Law & Order could use some new ideas - Shtetl Vice is awesome. You could use all the Italian actors laid off since "The Sopranos" went off the air - they look close enough to us! Mandy Patinkin as the seen-it-all captain - it could work!

I spent about 3 seconds wondering why you wanted to know what R. Kelly thought about all this.

Which, as all R. Kelly thoughts, is accompanied by Dave Chappelle singing "Piss on You".

NY Post can always resort to that ol' trick of "sources say", or in this case, "witness say".. which I'm sure they believe lets them off the hook for actually calling her an anti-semite.

Now, what would really be turning the tables is if she hired Goldman, Silverberg, and Wiesenstein as her attorneys.

@lobstr: check it, lobstr (from gothamist) "Brodigan's attorney, Jonathon D. Warner, tells us, 'I'm a Jewish lawyer and I firmly believe she did not utter any anti-Semitic remarks, and I would not represent her if I thought otherwise.' "

How is a NY Post source given any credence whatsoever? I can find a half a million people in this city who will say they saw Mayor Bloomberg screaming obscenities at a homeless woman while simultaneously kicking her down the subway steps--doen't mean it happened.

I love dogs, just not in a restaurant or on a train. I feel sorry for the pukey pug, the passengers on the train, and the cops who had to waste their time with this nonsense, (oh, and whomever had to clean up the puppy puke).

@hilikusopus: As a sidenote, I'm guessing 1) she learned her lesson, and 2) the dozen or so cops that showed up or already there, as is sometimes the case, were just interested in the mess this lady had created and not there to "take her down." I don't like abuses of power, period. But I also don't like it when people call cops "pigs". These guys deal with the shit you're not willing to, and for a pitance I might add, but nobody seems to remember that. They seem to remember when a dozen cops (probably on a platform in a show of force as an anti-terror tactic) rubbernecked and ticketed an animal lover. Those NAZI pigs! Right....

@hilikusopus: I agree with you/disagree with you.

I don't like when people call cops "pigs" either. Generally, they are good guys who risk their lives for less than I used to make for sitting on the internet commenting on Gawker all day. Yes, there are some *really* bad eggs like this Hasidic asshat who should be dealt with accordingly.

Disagree with you on the dog thing. You don't know if she was taking her dog to the Vet, etc. The dog puked IN the carrier - not all over the place - because she was following the rules. Nobody gets hurt because somebody needs to take their cat to the Vet in their carrier, on the train. What should she do, walk across the WB bridge with it? I worked at a shelter in the city and fostered cats and transported them in their carriers on the train - no one was hurt, in fact, I got a lot of smiles. So - get over it.

I think it is disgusting when people eat on the train and get their food all over me and everything...but, I can't change it!

@blonderedhead: She said the dog had "health issues" (barfing being among them), so shoving it into a canvas bag during a hot subway rush hour causing it to barf? Doesn't take a genius to figure out that would likely happen.

After reading the article, I'm even more disgusted with this woman. Who carries a sick animal around in a handbag during rush hour - she's carrying two bags, a backpack and a canvas pack and neither are appropriate for transporting an animal, nevermind a sick one. if she's a foster to this dog, you'd think she'd know better. How inconsiderate do you have to be to bring a sick animal onto the train while it's packed, knowing full well the dog has "issues" and gets sick on a regular basis.

i saw the end of it. there were AT LEAST a dozen cops. really bizarre.

no one passing by had a clue what was going on.

i feel bad for the girl, but i DO remember they had her on the sidewalk and she was screaming bloody murder...no one had a hand on her.

the bruises? i can't say if she was mistreated or not in the actual subway (which is never ok) but hey, you mess with a cop and they grab you, you're going get some bruises.

i feel bad for the effing dog- she should have known better than to bring it in a hot, stuffy carrier on the hot, stuffy subway.

aaaaand lastly- yes, some of the comments on freewilliamsburg are just unbelievable. idiots.

i have to back peddle a bit-

i didn't read the eye witness accounts until just now. yeah, not cool.

also, if he is hasidim, i thought they're not allowed to touch other women? or even look at them if not properly dressed?

how strange!

@waltzngmatlda: He can touch a woman to perform his job as a police officer. And nobody told that young teenage Hasidic boy on the subway leering at me last summer that he wasn't supposed to look at me in my t-shirt and shorts. I realize it was lots of hormones plus never getting to see female legs and arms, but it made for a very uncomfortable subway ride.

I'm not sure what I like least here.. NYPD's continued displays of assholish absurdity or the fact that this person kept her dog out in the elements, unprepared, long enough to become overheated (which I'm assuming is not a long amount of time for a pug, but still...)

@eXXX: Yeah - as an owner of two pugs, I can verify that it does not take much to get a pug overheated. A day over 75 degrees can cause my dogs to struggle. I can only imagine being confined in her tote causd some distress for her dog.

I am also not surprised when she got to the station, she found the cops at the front desk playing with the dog. However, it is terrible that the cop felt the need to traumatize this woman by threatening to have her dog put to sleep.

I'm very interested to learn that failure to produce ID is a crime anywhere in the United States, since that would be sorta unconstitutional.

@Mediahohoho: It is, you can't be arrested just for not having ID. But how is the cop supposed to write a ticket if she had no ID (real name, address, etc.)? He would just have to let her off-if not having an ID got you out of tickets, people would just say they didn't have them. So it is okay in this case as long as it is only for the purposes of verifying personal information to write a citation, and the person is not actually being charged with failing to carry ID, which would be unconstitutional
