Those police officers who acted wrongly will be penalized to the highest extent of the law . There has already been enough protests with mobs rioting and destroying their cities. There’s no need to defund the police or protest . In New Jersey we don’t have the problems that go on in those other states. Please support your local police !

Nah, police violence and abuse of power is a systemic and nationwide issue. If you don’t want to protest, don’t; but telling people affected by police brutality to not only NOT protest but to support those very organizations is wildly insulting.

That incident has nothing to do with New Jersey. In New Jersey we do not have those problems . Those cops that acted wrongly will be dealt with by the Tennessee justice system accordingly. There are differences between peaceful protests and rioting and looting which is what has happened in Baltimore, Furgeson, Chicago and New York just to name a few. Burning down your cities and committing crimes is not solving the issues, it is very insulting to true victims of police brutality.

But New Jersey DOES have those same problems.

good on you for finding an example from the last 7 days, because yes this is systemic and nationwide.
but the poster you're replying to does not believe you, because he has had nothing but pleasant experiences with his local cops at the deli

My guy. You're ignorant if you believe this isn't possible in NJ.

fwiw, it's clear that we did not protest enough in America after George Floyd's murder, since that scorpion unit was not reviewed and they were allowed and seemingly empowered by their culture to do this to this man. so we must protest more...shut down more highways and tunnels, until the message is heard and actions to prevent this are taken.
people aren't kidding when we say, 'no justice, no peace. if we don't get it, shut it down." cops can be part of the solution or remain the entire problem.

Fuck the local PD. Way too many of our taxes go to outfitting them like they're going to goddamn war and for them to bring 5 squad cars when they pull over people for traffic stops.
And no, this isn't Newark or some shit. It's near Chatham/Madison. Where the worst crimes imaginable are teens loitering outside CVS or someone planting a tree the HOA doesn't like
