The article says he was suspected of hate crime assault. Then the police has a duty to act.

Edit: While I said "duty" I meant that I really hope the that the police investigate all allegations of hate crime assault properly.

The police has absolutely no duty to act whatsoever. See Warren v. District of Columbia.

"reduced to a misdemeanor of second degree aggravated harassment" so it looks like the charge was exaggerated in the 1st place. The media and authorities tend to portray Zionist provocateurs as the second coming of Anne Frank when they get into trouble. Something similar happened when Israeli soccer hooligans got roughed up in Amsterdam.

Yes, the NYPD is genuinely full of cops who support Israel. They have partnerships with Israel, they are trained by Israeli, the NYPD even has an office in Tel Aviv. Check out the training they get: https://jewishcurrents.org/training-nypd-keffiyeh-watermelon...

The ban on NYPD's usage of facial recognition doesn't have exceptions based on the category of suspected crime.
