Hassidic riot in Brooklyn after the cops arrested a 75 year old man for talking on his phone while driving.

I LOVE THIS STUFF !!!!!!
As rumors spread through the crowd that Schick had been beaten, tensions escalated and hundreds of people in traditional black garb poured onto 16th Ave. from 46th to 50th Sts. They set fire to old magazines, fruit boxes and other trash up and down the avenue.
Firefighters raced to put out at least seven blazes and water down the streets.
Demonstrators smashed the windows of one police cruiser and torched another by throwing a gasoline-soaked rag into its backseat. A helicopter searchlight swept the street, and riot police formed lines along 16th Ave., hollering, "Back on the sidewalk!"
But protesters didn't heed the warnings and ran through the streets, some yelling, "Nazi Germany!" at the officers.
"I started running, too. I was almost knocked over," said Esther Kroynik, 20, who had to scale a waist-high fence to avoid the mobs.
It took scores of cops four hours to restore order, but the arrest toll stayed at three. Two officers suffered leg injuries in the melee, a police source said.
