Police Officers Enter Private House to Find Jewish Gatherings in Monsey,

A video showing a police officer arguing with a group of Orthodox Jews in a New York town has drawn angry reactions from people online, who see it as evidence of persecution and harassment of the US Jewish community.
The confrontation apparently happened in Monsey, a place in Rockland County famous as a major center of Orthodox Judaism in the US. It shows a police officer standing on the doorstep of a house, engaged in a heated argument with a group of people, one of whom apparently owns the property.
The officer says his patrol was responding to a complaint about cars parked in front of the house and noticed that a gathering of more than 10 people was underway inside, which he called "an issue." The owner, who is dressed as an Orthodox Jew, disagrees that "a few friends" calmly coming together is an issue requiring police intervention. Both parties speak angrily, suggesting that the dispute has been going on for some time without progress. It was not immediately clear how the situation was resolved.
The video quickly spread on social media on Friday and was picked by some right-wing outlets. Many people said the police were obviously overstepping their authority and interfering in private life. A lot of comments went as far as comparing the incident to persecution of Jews by the Nazis.
The argument apparently stems from Covid-19 social distancing rules that are in place in the county. A gathering of over 10 people would not be allowed in a public space - even a park - in the town of Ramapo, to which Monsey belongs.
Orthodox Jews in the US, as well as in other parts of the world, have been notably resistant to lockdowns designed to slow the spread of infection. They say the rules are incompatible with their religious practices.
Monsey is no exception. In April, Ramapo police cracked down on an "illegal gathering" at a Monsey synagogue and arrested eight people for disorderly conduct. This week, a Torah procession scheduled for Sunday was canceled by the town authorities.
The public debate on how harsh anti-Covid-19 rules should be is exacerbated in the US by the heavy politicization of the issue. The Trump administration stands accused of downplaying the severity of the disease and failing to impose a proper lockdown, causing tens of thousands of excessive deaths as a result.
Trump supporters in turn accuse his critics of hypocrisy because their preaching about the importance of social distancing was sidelined in order to support a wave of national protests against police brutality and racism. Many of the online comments about the Monsey incident said the Jews should have said their gathering was an "Black Lives Matter" event to scare off the police.

ב"ה As a Torah jew who dresses black hat,black suit & very long uncut white beard, I think that the police showed MUCH restraint. No citizen should yell at a police officer who represents the majority of all citizens. Here in Israel we have the same problem BUT our Israel police use hard-line physical tactics first and discuss later .I hate that mob rule without police protection has been the death of Jews everywhere for centuries all over the world, and we Jews have no right to mob rule either. The rules here in Israel give very heavy monetary fines for NOT wearing a mask outside the home,and even relatives may not yet visit family until the lock-down ends here. Police in most cases are doing a great job. Those who yell at them would be first to call police if they were being attacked.

[@hushai5154]

"The majority of all the citizens"....I seriously doubt that. I don't think disrespect is the best course of action, but is it not a disrespectful act to enter a man's home and dare to tell him how many friends he can enjoy the day with? Secondly, if Israel has heavy handed methods that is their problem. In North Korea they would probably execute the violators. So what, is the standard now a matter of finding the worst abuse of power.

[@RasMajnouni]

@@hushai5154B"H, I respect your opinions ,you might be correct.but as we learn in Torah, all things need to be the same all across the board.I don't know the laws of New Jersey but here we may not add anyone outside the actual family members to visit ,soon that part will be taken off as last time. IF you run to call the Police when you NEED them, you have to accept the rules on the other hand. The policeman was not asking to search the house and he didn't have a search warrant.Obviously police are reps of the vast majority, or else nebbich when you get H" Yishmor robbed ,you will not call them? Or for violence against you? North Korea is not Israel. There are many times main news media in israel when a policeman has overstepped his authority,jail time etc for them. Again I don't say you are wrong, in Eretz Yisroel we are more a unified people than American Jews are in America and even among the frum Yidden here we are much more united than in USA. What do we learn about decidding on any Derech to choose? Make a list of all the good and bad reason for any path to take, then erase any of the list in which a person gets Naches gashmi and THEN look at the list. 50 years ago I gave up a very pleasant life in USA and expected and got a very low economic standard to live but that has drastically changed in general the last 30 years though B"H not for myself, I would not leave Israel for a nice house and any amount of money in this veldt.
