Ridgewood NJ, Catherine Brienza  is the founder and president of JOLT USA commented in a Facebook post ,”Will someone please explain this quasi military presence in Ridgewood yesterday right at the time of the peaceful “teach in”? Who called for this waste of our Taxpayer money? They were marching around village hall and the library area.Who requested this presence? The Mayor? Police Chief? Village Council? Who???”

Those photos of the police lined up or behind Village Hall and yes it was night time. The rally had ended before it got dark. It seems to us that someone is trying to make a name for themselves by stirring up trouble and problems in a the Village of Ridgewood where they do not exist .

“And again. No publicity is the human trafficking rally July 30. Ridgewood is becoming a joke. I saw the Facebook pictures most likely trying to cause a controversy.
I was absolutely appalled when I saw the pics and video posted in the comments of the RWPD actually blocked the roads to let these losers walk the streets. They even had no leader in the front. I am 100 percent behind ridgewood police. I am sure the orders to do this came from above.
Ridgewood had two protests or whatever they called it after Floyd. One at vets and one walk to the YMCA.
Enough is enough. The same guy with the bullhorn. Same people.
TIME TO HAVE A SUPPORT THE BLUE Rally in ridgewood.”

“It is their goal to overwhelm the police and the community with tiring endless protests to wear them down and make them lose patience. Once someone gets a little mistreated by a nervous police staff or a frustrated town resident all hell about defunding the police will break lose. I wouldn’t be surprised if the sick minds behind these gatherings would like to turn us into Portland. Anything can be expected from these psychos. In the process crime benefits.
Is there a rule about how many protests someone can organize within a period of time? What happens if they ask for a protest every day? Do they need a permit to organize meetings and marches?”

police lights 1

Author : Wendy Erickson

Police are authorized to protect citizens and make sure people don’t break the law.

However, we have witnessed cases where the police have used too much force while carrying out these duties. 

With George Floyd’s case still fresh in our minds, we can’t help but feel vulnerable in the face of such brutality and excessive force. 

We, in New Jersey, have not been spared and cases such as the one in Ridgewood, where a boy accused of obstructing traffic was arrested in a manner that felt excessively forceful.

Reader Warns on Attempts to Help Homeless man ,” the untrained should never take in anyone with a true mental condition”

Ridgewood _police_theridgewoodblog

“Taking such a man into your home is both dangerous and possibly hazardous. Some, who are merely down on their luck, can be helped but the untrained should never take in anyone with a true mental condition. This man obviously has a mental problem. The Police can keep taking him to Bergen Pines, but he can’t be kept there unless he agrees to treatment. One of the “Defund the Police” suggestions is to keep a specially trained social worker on staff who can be called to go with a police officer to try to defuse this situation. Most officers, however, have been trained to deal with this themselves and, in Ridgewood at least, that would probably be a duplication of services.”
