Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA – The Beverly Hills Police Department has launched an investigation into what they’re calling a “hate speech incident” after propaganda-style flyers about the COVID-19 pandemic and Jewish people were found at several homes.
Police say they received a call at around 6 a.m. on Sunday from a resident who reported seeing one of the flyers on their front yard.
Investigators say after surveying the area, they found multiple flyers, which were tucked into small plastic bags – at homes throughout several blocks in the northeast area of the Flats.
A portion of the flyer reads, “Every single aspect of the COVID agenda is Jewish.”
Police have since collected all of the flyers as part of their investigation.
The BHPD would like to share a message to the community (see attached photo). On this first day of Hanukkah, the Police Department will be providing additional patrols throughout the City to ensure a safe holiday season. https://t.co/FFQE3k8J6X pic.twitter.com/vJGaI9hTox
