In another video, a group attempted to cross the water by hopping through it in garbage bags. The water issues weren’t just below ground, either.

This is an open letter to the NYPD Officer verbally abused on Thursday morning by Heshy Tischler on Ocean Parkway and Avenue M. I want you to know that the man who just verbally abused you, does not represent anyone in the Jewish community. If you don’t think this is true, just know that he recently ran for city council, and garnished a whopping total of 200 votes, mainly of misfits and nutcases like himself. We apologize that you were subject to being told “like when you committed a crime, like when you beat up George Floyd”, when you are just doing your job, and clearly never touched George Floyd. I have confirmed that you (the officer) was placed at this intersection due to multiple car crashes in that immediate area with serious injuries in the past few weeks.
