 CASTRO VALLEY, California: A California state worker has been caught on video making anti-Islamic slurs and then throwing coffee and an umbrella at a group of Muslim men praying at San Francisco Bay Area park.
KNTV reported Wednesday that East Bay Regional Park District spokeswoman Carolyn Jones says the district’s police officers were forwarding their investigation to the district attorney’s office for review.
Jones said prosecutors will then decide whether to charge Department of Corrections administrative worker Denize Slader.
Slader’s actions at Lake Chabot Regional Park in Castro Valley were captured on video and posted on Facebook by Rasheed Albeshari.
Online news site NBC Bay Area reported that park police have recommended misdemeanor battery charges to prosecutors.
It also said the Department of Corrections, where Slader works, is also investigating the allegations.
It quoted East Bay Regional Park District spokeswoman Carolyn Jones as saying, It is legal to pray in the park, and talk to people in the park. It is not legal to hit people in the park."
In the video, Slader is heard saying Albeshari’s “people have tortured” others.
"Your mind has been taken over, brainwashed. You have nothing but hate," she screamed.
At that point, a park ranger arrives and tries to pacify Slader.
Albeshari is then heard saying that "this lady is talking about my God." He said the woman talked against Allah.
When she noticed that she was being filmed, the woman lunged toward Albesharri.
NBC Bay Area quoted Jones as saying the woman threw coffee and her umbrella at Albesharri.
Albeshari told the KNTV there is no question that what happened was a hate crime.
"This lady and the people who think her way are the ISIS of America. They're a minority group...they don't represent America."
NBC Bay Area said the Department of Corrections, where Slader works, is also investigating the allegations.
It quoted Department of Corrections spokesman Luis Patino as saying the agency "expects its employees to abide by a code of conduct that includes respecting the rights of others regardless of personal characteristics including ancestry and religion.
“In addition to the police investigation, an internal CDCR investigation into the incident is ongoing,” Patino told the site in an e-mail.
Slader's hate-crime comes just days after a Muslim couple massacred 14 people attending a holiday party in San Bernardino, California.
The massacre has also led Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to proposed that Muslims be banned from entering the United States, eliciting condemnations at home and abroad.
NBC Bay Area quoted Slader as bragging that many people in the Bay Area support Trump.
