Melbourne ,Australia - Police Officer Involved in Attack on Man on Simchas Torah
Melbourne ,Australia - Police have launched an internal affairs investigation after learning an officer was at the centre of a vicious, racially motivated bashing of an Orthodox Jew on Simchas Torah as was reported on VOS IZ NEIAS.
A spokesman said the Ethical Standards Department had launched the investigation after learning the officer was with a group who bashed Menachem Vorchheimer in Caulfield last Saturday as he was walking near his synagogue.
Mr Vorchheimer, who was given a black eye in the attack as he tried to protect two children aged six and three, said he was racially abused. He said the perps yelled "Go the Nazis", and they also stole his hat, and punched him as passers-by attempted to help.
"This is Melbourne. This shouldn't happen. They stole my religious items, which are very important to me. It was in front of my children," he said.
Mr Vorchheimer said he approached their bus driver, an off-duty police officer, to ask where they were from. "The driver never assaulted me or yelled any abuse but he wouldn't tell me where they were from. I would have thought an officer of the law had a duty to behave in a more ethical manner," Mr Vorchheimer.
Internal affairs have launched parallel investigations into the assault after learning the bus driver was an officer.

First it was the muslims in our country who lost the right to walk down the street without being harrased or assulted. Then the Siekh comminity was attacked. Now the Jews have joined them in the long list of minority groups who no can no longer feel safe while going about their dayly buisiness. It is time for Australian community to stand together against the bigots of this country, even thought they are probebly the majority.

The Australians did stand together. have you already forgotten Cronulla riots? as a result we now have young muslims who have joined the Cronulla lifesaving club, we have motorcycle gangs negotiating with muslim gangs, we have seen the government of NSW crack down on thugs and not to mention the NSW police. Tell me when the siekh community was attacked? i know of 2 seikh taxi drivers and i also know of white anglo taxi drivers who were attacked in the same week.
The jewish community is definately a problem because no serious attempts are made to fully assimilate. The muslims in Australia put their hand out and the jews refused negotiation. Most Australians dont have a problem with jews and thats a fact. "Vorchie" as he is reffered to, has now created a problem. Originally the word on the street was that the people wanted to see the busload of hooligans severely punished. Now as the REAL version of the story comes out, we find that most people are no longer interested in the jewish perspective of this story and support has been lost.This is a saddening outcome. We all know that "Vorchie" is a confirmed agitator. Most people love the jews in Australia but they dont like people who are un Australian.
the driver of the bus was an off duty police officer but the reality
is that he stopped the bus immediately he knew that someone on the bus had done the wrong thing. Now he stands accused? now hes under investigation? Vorchies cause is going to slowly lose support and momentum and as i have previously stated in this forum, people will start to dislike the jews.
