The former New York City police officer charged with spray-painting anti-Jewish obscenities and swastikas in Brooklyn earlier this month said he did it because of "cheap Jews," the JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency) website reports today (May 29, 2014).
Michael Setiawan -- who was arraigned on May 23 on a 39-count indictment -- made the assertion in court papers. "When I was a deliveryman, they never gave me anything," he said.
The graffiti appeared on cars, storefronts, and a school in the Hasidic enclave of Borough Park on May 3.
Setiawan, 36, retired in 2007 after two years as a cop, according to the court papers.
