Jewish residents of Brooklyn’s Borough Park section were angered by a U.S. Justice Department decision not to pursue civil rights charges against four New York policemen involved in the 1999 shooting of a mentally disturbed Orthodox man who was wielding a hammer. U.S. prosecutors said there is insufficient evidence to prove that the police officers intended to use unreasonable force against Gideon Busch.
