The Columbus cop and the Jews

From NBC4i:

A local police officer was put under investigation Monday after videos of her making anti-Semitic remarks were found online.

Authorities said Susan Purtee, a 14-year veteran Columbus police officer, and her sister were heard on YouTube.com blaming the Jewish population for problems in the United States, NBC 4’s Lauren Diedrich reported.

Here’s The Jews Part II, where the sisters compare Ashkenazi and “Shepardic” Jews. (Hint: the Ashkenazi’s purpose is to dominate the world. Or was it the Shepardic? I can’t tell.)

It’s a good thing the sisters weren’t complaining about Muslims in their videos. YouTube would have removed them. Anti-Semitism is just fine though.

Fraternal Order of Police President Jim Gilbert said Columbus police might not become involved since Purtee did not identify herself as a police officer.

Columbus Division of Police representatives said their legal department would review the tapes to determine if an investigation should begin.

UPDATE: The Dispatch has a little more on this:

Disparaging remarks about blacks, Cubans and Jews are found on amateur online videos co-produced by an off-duty Columbus police officer.

The videos were created and distributed on the Internet by Officer Susan L. Purtee, 60, and her sister, Barbara Gordon-Bell, 52, who call themselves “The Patriot Dames” and the “Subie Sisters.”

I didn’t watch enough of the videos to hear about blacks and Cubans. I’ll have to remain unenlightened on those topics.

    Shalom Brian,

    Thanks for putting this up.

    My first observation is that I hope that Officer Purtee does not lose her job over this. She is exercising her right to free speech and, no matter how ignorant I know the statements by she and her sister to be, she ought to be free to make them.

    My second observation is that this may be the opportunity I’ve been looking for to put my money where my mouth is by demonstrating that the proper response to ignorant free speech is never censorship, but rather informed free speech.

    I’ve never done video or vlogging but it seems that it’s time I did.

    I’m reaching out to other Jewish bloggers like myself to see if we can’t put together a timely response to Jews I, II and III.

    B’shalom,

    Jeff Hess

    These 2 old maids are so un-American it is pathetic! It may be their heat flashes… The American way is tolerance, kindness and love coupled with strength and prosperity. These are not good Americans, loving mothers, or decent human beings. I am proud to be an American! While these grannies are staining our heritage.

    Go Navy!

    I hope they do lose their jobs for using fucking porno music, and because, hey, could you really trust someone like her to treat you fairly? I THINK NOT. She’s not a police officer in 1960s Rhodesia or in Rangoon, you know.

    These women should be kicked off the force. They are obviously anti-Jewish and their job requires them to deal with Jews and other minority groups. In their video they even praise the late totally disgraced Sen. McCarthy of Wisconsin of all things. Columbus, Ohio can do better.
