In a neat bit of casting, it turned out that Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy James Mee was indeed a member of the tribe.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy James Mee, who is Jewish, said that he considered it a routine arrest and did not take any comments made by Gibson seriously.

In the pages, the deputy, who is Jewish, reported that Gibson made a statement blaming Jews for “all the wars in the world” and then asked the deputy, “Are you a Jew?”

You make the claim. You provide the evidence.

???

After the incident, Officer James Mee spoke to several reporters, telling them he’s Jewish. Do a google search.

The Police Officer in the Gibson drunk driving arrest is Jewish

That is completely untrue. I wrote about this story in great detail when it happened. The police officer was NOT Jewish.

Most people could care less what a drunken celebrity has to say. But when the drunken celebrity spouts anti-Semitic nonsense, THAT’S news. Just as a Jewish right wing teenager spouting racist nonsense is news as well. Max Blumenthal happened to be there to get the story. Good for him.

You got the story wrong. The Police Officer in the Gibson drunk driving arrest is Jewish. People tend to be more sensitive when it’s their own group being criticized.
Why should a celebrity be open to public ridicule but not a kid in a bar? Because he is a celebrity and that’s the price you pay for celebrity. If Gibson was a non celebrity his anti Jewish remarks would never have made the papers.

The guy who arrested Gibson for DUI actually was Jewish.

Generally news organizations go where a story is whether it’s a bar or anywhere else. Besides, Max Blumenthal is not the NBC Nightly News or Tom Friedman. He’s a blogger-journalist with a nose for a good story, which this is.
