Freehold: We are getting reports of a possible protest planned for the area of US 9 @ South Street in town. Earlier today the Freehold Township Police Department sent out a message on Facebook alerting motorists that heavy traffic is expected at the intersection. Then later a flyer encouraging people to March on 9 to protest the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis surfaced. We’re not sure what to make of this, but figured we would share for anyone who may possibly be affected. Good Luck and Stay Safe everyone involved.
Please see screenshots below.
Go protest what you believe in but hide your identity lol
why?? Why hide when you feel you are doing the right thing?? Hopefully they will be peaceful
I said the same thing. If you’re going to stand up for what you believe in, then stand all the way up or just sit down. It’s not a band wagon!
Cheri Unice Gleason in case you haven’t noticed we are all wearing masks these days!!!
Cheri Unice Gleason why hide? Maybe because a man died for no reason at all? Why would you not want to hide your identity at that point? When there’s no more grounds for who is killed and who lives, do you really wanna risk the chance of being the next victim of a senseless crime?
Marjory Daub-Towey I know we do lol but if you read the post they ask yo hide your identity
Lynn Stockschlader then don’t go protest at a public event geez
Asshole copycats
Kathleen Kelly
Kayla Gregg ????????????????????✈️????????✈️
Kayla Gregg jealously
You realize by reposting this with all the information you are unintentionally promoting It? If I wanted to go I have all the info now.
Barb DurchakCrosby
1. It’s our job as a media outlet to inform the public what’s happening.
2. Freehold Police already sent out an alert urging motorists to avoid the area.
Monmouth County Scanner News
Yes it is your job to responsibly report but the specifics could be blacked out like where to meet.
Just because the police posted it doesn’t make it correct for media to post as it is. You have to make your own calls.
The media has a responsibility to separate informative from promotional even when it’s source doesn’t.
Although I agree with the above posters, I also thank you for posting the info as I now know to avoid the area. Thank you
Barb DurchakCrosby well, if you block out the location, how do you know where to avoid? The people going to start trouble have this info long before a news media or the police release it. ????
Cyndi Wilson Pond The post goes on to say “We are getting reports of a possible protest planned for the area of US 9 @ South Street in town. Earlier today the Freehold Township Police Department sent out a message on Facebook alerting motorists that heavy traffic is expected at the intersection. Then later a flyer encouraging people to March on 9 to protest the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis surfaced.”
What to bring and the specific poster does not have to be shared.
Barb DurchakCrosby yeah, i read it. And like I said, the people we need to worry about already had this info. I have now used this info to warn loved ones to stay away.
Sounds like the Sheriff’s department is going to have a busy afternoon.
Cyndi Wilson Pond We differ in opinion but that’s ok. Stay safe.
Barb DurchakCrosby you too
Better be to protest these toll hikes and ridiculous taxes that are absolutely out of control.
Is looting expected or is this going to be a peaceful protest?
Well I Play America looters will be obvious trying to drive a bumper car down Rt9 loaded with melting Dippin Dots.
Paul Zuzzio ????. I was half kidding tbh. Being far away from the protests that have become violent makes me not worry but I would hope none of the protests started out knowing it would end up as they did . ???? Just makes me think is all.
Jamie Bonavita Goodman probably a riot
Yes forget the pandemic. Forget govt stimulus money. Forget you are out of work and need help. This is a govt scheme to stop money being sent to states for pandemic relief.
Glenn Spina just asking..if it is a goverment scheme…who exactly plotted it ? I understand agitators showing up to incite violence, but WHO called for it ?
Protest homelessness, Unfair treatment of Veterans, Abused Children and Elderly, Food Deficiency, High taxes, Low Wages, Animal Abuse.. Inadequate Healthcare.. just to name a few… Ridiculous the way the criminals are destroying business properties, injuring people and looting.. If you want real change then educate and lobby, vote and voice concerns and join organizations or groups that facilitate change in a productive ways! WAKE UP and realize these are all tied to your rights as a citizen!! ????????
VI Horvath obviously some have more rights than others in this country and those means which you have listed have already been tried and tried for years with no change. Don’t tell others to wake up when it’s clear you’ve been snoozing.
christina g. okay.. ????
This country was founded on rioting (and looting). The colonists didn’t politely ask to be independent — they started a war. Gays threw a brick. Black people rioted all over this country.
It says it’s a March not a protest. Stop dramatizing it and causing more ignorance
Kendra Redemption Then why the need to ‘hide your identity?’
Lucille Manzella 1-because people act ten types of stupid and like to call it a PROTEST when it’s not 2- because idiots are spreading rumors and gaslighting this, they don’t want to be taken down for the stupidity of others 3- because it shouldn’t matter WHAT COLOR THEIR SKIN IS TO MARCH and last but CERTAINLY not least 4- it’s sunny out and melanoma is a serious concern.
Kendra Redemption this!!
Did someone drop off the bricks yet?

If the plan is peaceful why the need for anonymity?
@ocean county scanner- apparently there is one planned for Mon is Asbury too
Jacque Thomas where was that posted ?
I saw Asbury also.. i can’t find the link
On a local page
Murphy didn’t think was going to happen I haven’t heard a peep today
Antifa?
Angela Mitnik: show Dee this. We have protests going on.
First aid kit? Hide identities?? Sketchy motives.. Outsiders perhaps..
NJ terror cell standing up activities……..needs to be taken out.
Paul Zuzzio agree.
Katalin Margaret Mary Brodzinski
Here comes the bullshit. I originally thought it would be tomorrow or Monday when the back to work movement was happening. This should take care of all the other businesses Murph didn’t force closed yet. ???????????? Anyone with a business should hurry up and go to get any belongings they don’t want to lose.
Jeff
Katalin Margaret Mary Brodzinski ill stay far away from there today
Katalin Margaret Mary Brodzinski just got a message on our scanners to stay away its scheduled for 1:00
Candice Butler
Steven Butler
Block the road and you better buckle the fuck up cause I ain’t stopping. For nobody.
Jeff Rey your such a big man. Threatening to drive over people makes you so powerful on the internet.
Judith Ann Romero get out in that road bitch, and hold on
Jeff Rey exactly who i thought you are.
Judith Ann Romero don’t play on a highway or out in the road and there’s no issue. Try and purposely block traffic and others from getting where they need to go you’re gonna run into a problem. It ain’t rocket science.
Jeff Rey thanks for your thoughtful, intelligent lesson.
Aren’t they giving out free meals in freehold today?
Kathy Alberts
Good thing I went out yesterday and did whatever I needed to do.
Dave Cular ????
BOLO: gen z white boys in skinny jeans taking selfies with the hippie skater chick girlfriends.
Shut them down.
Why would anybody shit up their own living areas? It’s just wasting more$. Don’t fix it back to nice!
Watch out for Antifa!
That’s just crazy.
Michael
A list like this for a protest spells a planned disaster…so far the Newark one has been peaceful hope that continues
Give it a day or two for them to test responses. They used to play these same games in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Hide it as “peaceful” to test response. Let them get complacent. Strike.
Wait for it.
Paul Zuzzio yeah it’s still light out we shall see how it goes when sun goes down
This is Antifa! Don’t encourage people to go by posting this flyer!
Linda Massey so you are saying people can’t peacefully protest, but can’t revolt either?
Antifa is on the Domestic Terror list in NJ, so isn’t it illegal to help them?
Tizzie Cregan You must be seriously ill informed. do you not watch whats happening, not just in Minnesota, but every where else?
Why protest? Timothy Stickel
So far as of 13:05 the intersection is clear.
Is this an advertisement for a protest or a looting festival?
Yes.
What are they protesting?
There will be a Black Lives Matter protest at the Jersey Shore beginning at 3 p.m. on Monday in the Point Pleasant Beach/Silver Lake parking lot.
Eric Martin odd
Odd place for it?
Eric Martin what are they protesting?
Ronnie Schlechtweg BLM. NJ.com reported it
Eric Martin really? Protesting something that happened 1,000 miles away and the cop that did it is in jail. What more do you wan’t?
Ronnie Schlechtweg totally agree. I’m posting it because I live here and I want to make sure anyone I know stays away.
Eric Martin ok, I get that, be safe
Ronnie Schlechtweg done people care about the injustice done to others.
*some
Judith Ann Romero that’s been handled so what is all this craziness about?
Ronnie Schlechtweg is been handled? Did they resurrect someone and i missed it?
Judith Ann Romero so you won’t be happy until he is alive again? That won’t happen so how can I help you?
Ronnie Schlechtweg silence against racism=support. Don’t ask stupid questions like what are they protesting.
Are you serious? What is a riot, because it’s not a protest, after the guy is in jail going to fix. And looting and burning stores in your own neighborhood just proves that they are animal’s and deserve to be taken out of society. Proove me wrong. What are they accomplishing?
The police officer has been arrested. Get over this. He was wrong. If you want to get fressh air than get fresh air. All this protest is going to do is get you in trouble.
Nancy Castellano you mean get over it until it happens again? This is America and citizens have a right to protest peacefully.
Hayley Columbo yes peaceful protest. No looting, burning, blocking highways, etc. And encouraging people to hide their identities? What’s that about? If you are protesting peacefully something you strongly believe in, you shouldn’t feel the need to be unidentifiable.
Burning cars on the street.
Smashing in windows of cars WITH people in them does nothing but make hardships for the owners of the cars.
Burning up a police station, Target, Autozone, etc… is counterproductive.
If they used their brains, they’d get more accomplished
Nancy Castellano ger yes, only one bad cop has ever treated a person of color badly. It is all about this single moment.. oh wait ????♀️
Janet Halasz peaceful protests are often met with tear gas, rubber bullets, and water cannons. Then the unrest begins. Unless of course if you’re white and storm a government building with an AR-15. Then you’re all clear and free to protest your right to a haircut.
Nancy Castellano it’s one thing to rally for rights ..it’s another to loot, injure, rob, burn, destruct and incite a mob mentality.. The worst of people will not peaceably assemble or institute for change ..Just as guilty as the officer/officers who were involved!
Honestly I doubt there is going to be much of a turn out in Freehold I grew up down the street from where they’re protesting … for the most part it’s a really nice area as in classy people with the exception of the apartments in Stonehurst which is probably where those handful of people at the corner even came from… my question is what are these protests going to accomplish? the police officer has been arrested, charged and jailed are the protesters calling for a hanging like in the olden days? What do you want protesters…
Nichole Alberts justice not just today but everyday everywhere
Hazel Scalise and what’s your proposal to change our justice system and create this justice everyday that isn’t happening
Nichole Alberts they want persecution against blacks to end. They want humane treatment and more arrests of the cops who stood by and did nothing to protect Mr Floyd from this criminal wearing a police uniform
Hazel Scalise and how do you ensure these changes happen? Does burning down businesses, robbing and killing other innocent people who have nothing to do with any of it change our justice system?
Nichole Alberts breaking the cycle of indifference by putting leaders in place that can spawn change in this country, better training for authorities and basic human rights being protected instead of turning a blind eye to bigotry
Hazel Scalise and how do you implement that?
Nichole Alberts no never said that was acceptable, but if you were a black man in this country you would understand the fear, and I think you would understand better if it were your son, brother or father this happened to. Change could even start with you by talking to people of color in your neighborhood and where you work for example to ask about how they feel and start the dialog we all need to empathize with those people
You haven’t been able to answer one of my questions and that’s because the destructive nature of these protests are not solving or changing anything
Nichole Alberts I think I explained my thoughts, this has been happening since the slave ships came to shore in America. Better yet if you understand what I’m saying YOU could make a difference if you cared at all .
Nichole Alberts ok you are closed minded and it’s this attitude that perpetuates the issues
I’m not racist or sexist or have anything against any person unless you’re an asshole. I treat others how I would want to be treated which is why I don’t see justice in destruction of the innocent to bring about change in the injustice to the innocent
Go back and reread what I said . If this were something I could fix … CHRIST would be my last name
Hazel Scalise you’re the one with the closed mind if you think what’s going on is just
Nichole Alberts ok Karen my mom always said if you argue with a fool you are the bigger fool. Continue in your privileged life and thank the Lord you are white . Peace to you and yours.
“An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind”-Ghandi
Nichole Alberts you can quote anyone to like doesn’t make you righteous
Nichole Alberts you said it best yourself that you grew up in an area down the street in the Classy white area you are out of touch with the plight and what’s going on in our world.
Nichole Alberts agreed but I do understand the frustration and arresting this one cop isn’t the answer without change it will happen over and over and over and over again . Change in this nations attitude toward blacks is needed in each and every citizen.
Hazel Scalise I’m okay with change but I’m not okay with violent protests destroying innocent individuals property or hurting the innocent it’s not going to solve anything. There’s needs to be a proposal or request that states what laws to change or adjust to help stop things like this from happening like maybe active police officers should undergo psychological evaluations every few years or whatever. Protesting with a proposal or a plan
Hazel Scalise I didn’t say White area I said a classy area- black people can be classy too
It’s kinda racist of you to presume a classy area is a white area
Nichole Alberts yes that could help but real change comes from the people of this nation, one person at a time. I know that I am honest enough to admit that when a black man walks toward me in the evening I think things that I might not think of it were a clean cut white man coming towards me. That’s due to subtle conditioning that’s happen from kindergarten to now in my life . I am willing to make a conscience effort to change this in myself.
Nichole Alberts well let’s see what is the predominant color of the folks in stonehurst
Nichole Alberts that you claim are the only ones protesting or planning to
It’s mixed area with black white and Mexican individuals it’s a bad area because it’s filled with drugs and thief’s it’s a well known spot for crime in the area
Does this mean the Coronavirus is done and NJ can open back up.
John Patrick Butler and just like that corona was gone lol
Andrew Michael Yup ????
Why r they protesting in NJ ?
Nicholas DeStefano their protesting all over the country
Nicholas DeStefano Good question
Robert Wagner
A friend is out there. Photographing, so he says. Roughly 25 heads out there
Mike Multary they look white
Teresa Jasinski why does it matter?
Teresa Jasinski I’m white and I support their cause.
I want a tv

The masks and gloves are because there’s still a global pandemic. It’s not for hiding your identity.
Looks like only 13 people showed up! Stay safe everyone !
Response test……..that’s how terror cells work. Test the response and security with peaceful “protest” (recon), if heavy – stay mellow to create false security/complacence, if light then proceed to next step. Next step…….STRIKE. Chaos and mayhem.
Classic terrorism cell 101 taken straight from the Giap insurgency plan.
Don’t kid yourself, this hasn’t been about “protest” or “justice” or Floyd since day 1, and certainly not once the arrest and charges got filed. This is radical leftist standard procedure.
So I’m curious. Now that the officer got arrested does everyone bring back the stuff they stole during the looting? I mean if that’s why they did all this….????♂️
Take a look at the video there’s like 10 people on the corner,. They’re not blocking the road, they’re not acting crazy
We were told that at one point there were about 25 people by someone that was on the ground at the time. We were able to possibly count as many as 30, but the image resolution of the DOT Camera was too low. Everything appeared to be peaceful and as it’s almost 7pm most everyone is gone. A protest does not need to be violent to be efficient or affective.
Don’t forget water and snacks… And oh yeah.. masks. There’s still that cold out there we need you to be fraid of.. but THIS!!! We need to invoke racial tension too.. it’s almost like the Governor is staging this too… Along with shutting down the economy.
Amazing how all the white people ask “what are they protesting?” Educate yourself.
Well that was racist overtones…..
Paul Zuzzio if the shoe fits
Except it doesn’t………but as long as you think so. Good for you. Lol
Paul Zuzzio what’s that shoe look like?
“One of the most meaningful posts I have seen today. Please take a moment to understand.”
“I’d respectfully point out a few things.
Looting is what every western museum is built on. Anyone ever protest the museums? Western civilization has colonized, raped, and pillaged the world. All western wealth comes from the blood and coffers of black and brown people. Ready to give all those artifacts back?
The Boston tea party was a violent riot with looting. But that was done by white folks defending stolen spaces for white folks. So we celebrate it.
Please know that when one calls for civility, it’s an insidious form of white supremacy that most people don’t even realize. White people riot and set cars on fire when their team wins a championship. But nobody is sending in militarized cops and throwing tear gas at them.
MLK said, the riot is the language of the unheard. As someone who has never had to live with the daily fear of being black, I can still understand why protestors have done this. How civil would you be if the very system you lived under disenfranchised your community at every level? Was still murdering your family (and you) and getting away with it? How do you prioritize property over people at a time of historic unemployment and income inequality (that disproportionately affects BIPOC)?
Violence is of course always less than ideal. But also note the reports coming out of MN of cops spraying pepper spray at peaceful bystanders and peaceful protestors and people who aren’t even involved but are trying to walk from one place to another.
How dare any of us demand civility from a people who have felt the oppression of 400 years continue unabated?
We are raised and steeped in a deeply racist society and are thus all racist. It may be subtle. It may be simply not recognizing privilege. It may be calling for civility from a group who’ve tried civility and had hoses and dogs set on them. Who’ve tried civility (kneeling) and been fired and blackballed. Who’ve tried civility and are tear gassed and have tanks rolling in.
(Overwhelmingly white) people are throwing tantrums about masks as a violation of civil liberties. They’re showing up armed to the teeth. Screaming and acting ridiculous. They survive every encounter.
Imagine what would happen if cops were killing white people daily but taking black mass murderers and active shooters into custody peacefully.
You can’t. Because it’s so unfathomable that white people would ever lose privilege. The privilege of murdering people and still surviving.
Mr. Floyd wrote a check. They decided it must be a forgery. Why? Why was he arrested when they arrived? How did they determine it was? Even if it was. They murdered him with impunity. Because that’s the history of policing (it was invented to catch and punish slaves) and to this day, is used to target, profile, and murder black bodies whilst letting white people do whatever they want and they can still survive the encounter.
So yeah, if they’re angry and looting, so be it. They’re not beating people in the crowds (white supremacists at Charlottesville). Though in C’ville the cops didn’t intervene—wonder why.
They’re damaging property. The only issue I have with it is that, because our media is complicit, and continues to subtly, insidiously push the narrative of violent/savage black people, the focus of the story shifts. Suddenly all anyone focuses on is the looting. Not why there are riots. Not the literal war this country declared on black bodies 400 years ago that continues to this day.”

Just heard from an LEO friend that Jersey City may have rioting/looting.
Here we go.
