Reader says Ridgewood Police Presence at Candle Light Vigil caused more tension

"Anti Hatred/Anti Violence" Candlelight vigil held at the Emmanuel Baptist Church

Ridgewood Police Chief Jacqueline Luthcke personally supervised all uniformed and plainclothes officers who were assigned to provide security at an “Anti Hatred/Anti Violence”

Chief of Police supervises the Police Department at the vigil?? What could possibly happen in a vigil with 50-100 people where all think alike?! Why dramatize a simple event and in the process cause more tension than necessary? Ironically the event is supposed to ease tensions.
