המשטרה תובעת מתפלל לאחר שהבטיחה להגן על בית הכנסת בניו ג'רזי מפני מפגינים, נטען בתביעה

הערכה

A New Jersey congregant is suing police after being prosecuted for an incident that occurred while authorities had promised to protect his synagogue from protesters. The lawsuit claims law enforcement failed to grasp the threat of antisemitic violence, turning a protected person into a defendant. The case tests whether police pledges of safety hold any weight when the protected individual acts in self-defense. Watch for how the court weighs the promise of protection against the prosecution's charges.
