I'm still kind of stumped about why she didn't just put the dog in the bag the first time she was asked. I mean, I know there was puke in the bag, but do you really want to put a cop in a position where you're defying him or her on such a routine request? You're basically forcing the cop to take action; otherwise, they're a racist because they let you slide and actually made a black or Hispanic kid toe the line.

I'm very disturbed not only by the tone of the post, but also by the tone of the comments. Anti-Semitism isn't a "minor controversy." A woman allegedly calling a Jewish person non-human is very scary. The fact that the writer of the post considers it minor tells me that such behavior is pretty much acceptable.

Commentors who blow it off and say it couldn't have happened also make me nervous. Anti-Semitism is on the rise in the U.S. and in Europe. Denying it and looking the other way is no way to react.

Finally, the commentor who said that he was alright with the alleged anti-Semitic comments because of how Hassidic Jews treat women needs to take a step back. Many Middle-Eastern cultures treat women as second class citizens, but that does not make it alright to trot out ethnic and religious epithets!

@MissTicklebritches: People aren't taking it seriously because it's coming from the New York Post and many other witnesses (as opposed to the Post's one) are claiming that she never said such things, not because they think anti-Semitism isn't a big deal or doesn't exist in the US.

What's disturbing to me is people like you who are more disturbed by hateful comments against a Jewish person than hateful comments and gendered violence against a woman, which even the Post admits came before the supposed anti-Semitic remarks.

@Eriu: You've just contradicted yourself. You said people weren't taking it seriously because it came from the Post. Then you said you were disturbed by my not taking Post-reported "hateful comments and gendered violence against a woman" seriously (which, BTW, is an untrue assumption you've made about me).

Sorry, but you can't have it both ways. If you trust the Post on the statements made by the police officer, well, I don't have to spell it out for you, do I?

She cries in public and her pants are about ten years out of style. Regardless of whether or not she's a racist, I already dislike her.

Remember when New Yorkers were attractive?

One thing's for sure: Brodigan's a breathtakingly lousy tech writer. [A href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chrissie-brodigan/why-ididntgetscrewed-frid_b_112674.html">HuffPo]

For her sake, I hope there's good money in pug rescue.

@It's twue! It's twue!: She took the dog out of the carrier. Dogs aren't allowed on the subway unless they are in carriers. I mean, if he let her do it, then everyone would do it and the subways would be disgusting dog yapping pukeholes filled with criminals. And no one would want to use them then.

@Tart of Darkness: While I think that after finding out the dog was sick he should have used some discretion and left her alone, I do agree that we can't have Parker Posey and her ilk bringing loose dogs on the subway.

There's something fishy about the NY Post's supposed source. There is no reference on Google to anyone named "Viane Delgado" except relating to this Post story. A Nexis search similarly yields zero results. There is apparently nobody officially going by that name living in the United States.

So, either the Post reporter(s) made up a source, the source gave them a false name or a nickname, or (unlikely) there just aren't any records of this person anywhere. Most often, Nexis will pick up common nicknames, but it's possible that her real name, if she in fact exists, is something very different from Viane, and she just never does anything with "Viane" except talk to Post reporters.

Also, two dudes named "Reuvan" worked together on that Post story, which isn't sinister, but is odd.

@johnnypotatoes: For whatever reason, some people just fly far enough under the radar to not show up in a Google search. I know of 2 people who have almost no "footprint" on the web, including a guy in his 40s for whom Google searches on his name and nicknames turn up precisely one hit.

I keep seeing this quote from her: "He pushed me against the wall and said, 'If you're gonna act like a woman, I'm gonna treat you like a woman,' "

And now I'm thinking, did he say "If you act like a lady, I'll treat you like a lady"? Which is something I've heard before, from cops even, and which routinely earns the speaker a stink-eye, but which is relatively different from the misogynistic take above.

@kneetoe: He cuffed her and threw her in a cell? I've been wondering this ever since yesterday.

I'll bet "lady" was either what he meant or she meant.

@kneetoe: Yeah, I think the "treat you like a woman" has a wholly sinister undertone to it. I mean, what does a man who's throwing you up against a wall and binding your hands mean when he shouts "I'm going to treat you like a woman"? Shudder.

On the other hand, my parents often said to me "if you can't act like a lady, then you can't sit at the grown-ups table". So... more a "mind your manners and you'll be treated well" than a weird, thuggish broadside against 50% of humanity.

Sadly, I find that cops often shout things that I've heard parents shouting at kids. The world is strange.

"You f--ing Jew, you're not even human," Delgado quoted Brodigan as saying.

I would propose that anyone who treats a living thing as an accessory is not even human.

@HiredGoons: why is she treating a living thing like an accessory? because it's a small dog? because she put it in the NYPD required carrying case? because she took him out to keep him from wallowing in his own vomit?
