Police launched a hate crime investigation after a man broke into a Jewish family’s Studio City home and allegedly began calling for the killing of Jews.
“I feel not so good and not so safe because I never thought it would happen in my house,” Mendel Meyers saidPolice have launched a hate crime investigation after a man in his underwear broke into a Jewish family’s Studio City home and allegedly began calling for the killing of Jews.
Cameras later captured the handcuffed man, identified by the Los Angeles Police Department as Daniel Garcia, shouting, “Free Palestine” and “brown people matter” as officers put him in the back seat of a police SUV. It was unclear whether Garcia had retained a lawyer who could comment on his behalf. “I screamed, ‘I’m going to shoot you,’ and he got scared and picked up his arms and said, ‘Don’t shoot, don’t shoot,’ but he kept screaming, ‘Free Palestine, free Palestine’ and ‘Jewish people, you need to kill Jewish people,’” Meyers said.
