Are we owed an explanation in the police blotter? They report on shoplifting and underage drinking. At times they add the name of local residents for the enjoyment of the neighbors.
They should tell us what happened. Were the neighbors ever in danger? Are individuals in custody or are they still living in the house?
Ridgewood PD should provide adequate info, not all the gory details, but enough for us to know if we are safe.
Absolutely
They owe the residents an explanation
Otherwise I believe that they made a huge mistake, a disastrous overreaction, and don’t know how to make it sound like it was an understandable error.
Come on people…here we go again trying to explain how things work around here. Yes, it was an egregious over reaction by Barnie and Goober
Albeit they don’t get to take the bullet out very often so this is what you get. Someone should also let the boys know that hanging your AR over the bed of a pick up truck as you use it for cover is not the most brilliant idea going. It’s like using a tuna can for a football helmet. Not gonna work.
There will also be no explanation forthcoming with regards to this display of fine policing and why it started in the first place. and if your worried for your safety I suggest that you arm yourself and protect you and your family. You don’t want the guys in the pick up truck rolling around when the shit goes down…besides, they’ve got PSE&G work to do.
I wish I knew as well, but we have to trust the police – many of whom if not most – live in town, with their kids, so you can believe they have our best interests at heart. No report of this activity is very likely on purpose for a valid reason. It may be something as simple as any news would hamper an ongoing investigation. Call me naive if you like, but I personally believe if the police had to report on something that might hurt the town’s reputation – but would make us safer – I believe they would then still report it.
Ok Kruse…you are completely naive.
Wait, I take that back…you are incredibly naive.
And 77 percent of the police force lives OUTSIDE of Ridgewood.
And man up for Christ sakes….
I agree with you completely Kruse. Thank you for trusting our police force. I trust them too.
Hey, someone called “Anonymous” is telling ME to MAN UP? LOL HOW IRONIC IS THAT! Why don’t you grow a pair and tell us your REAL NAME? In any event, I am back here to say “mystery solved”. The police chief commented a day or so ago that someone had just called to say they saw a firearm in the home and “felt unsafe”. And that’s all it was. Period. Come on BRAVE “ANONYMOUS”, let’s hear what you have to say about me being naïve about trusting our police force? Why don’t you stop being such a chicken and tell us who you are that you don’t trust the people you pay to protect you? LOL
