Point Pleasant Beach: Earlier we shared a press release from the Chief explaining the actions of the department in response to alleged use of force. This was in response to police attempting to issue a citation for an open-container liquor violation on the boardwalk. The suspect failed to identify himself truthfully, and resisted arrest. Videos have surfaced showing only the final arrest of the individual, not the actions leading up to the final apprehension.
Now we are hearing scattered rumors of a protest of some kind tentatively planned for tonight somewhere in town. We have nothing substantial to report, but we’re seeing it around various Internet forums. At this point we’re merely issuing a warning for people to be aware of their surroundings and be safe. If we hear any more concrete evidence, we will share with the public.
So, is there a protest or no?
Richard Pelaez
Those officers did nothing wrong
Can we bring weapons…to help protect the property of the locals and the police
Glenn Jensen remember the last riots that point beach had? Or when people expressing there 1st amendment rights started assaulting LEO’s? Why are you against people expressing their 1st amendment rights? Are you also against the 2nd? I think I found the antifa guy.
Glenn Jensen
Eric Thompson WTF are you talking about.. I want to be there to crack the skull of the first person that destroys property or assaults and Officer because its not your first amendment right to destroy someone else’s property or assault anyone
oh great; some bootlicking ex army loser wants to prove himself cause he’s in his mid 50’s with nothing better to do with his free time than suppress others 1st amendment rights.
Martin Brown WTF…I would never act to suppress anyone’s right to exercise their 1 or 2nd amendment rights. I will gladly also stand next to someone to protect their property or family from those who think their 1st amendment rights allow them to destroy someones property or assault those who dont agree with them.
Eric Thompson hes not against the first amendment he is against destructive of property, rioting/looting, and the disrespect our office have been facing.
Chaz Scheideler Ok Antifa.
Glenn Jensen the only looting or rioting or whatever that’s taken place over the last month and a half only took place in major cities. do you understand how dumb you sound? it’s a BOARDWALK AND SOME FUCKING RESTAURANTS. nobody’s looting, nobody’s robbing houses in fucking point pleasant, it’s a fucking dump.
Martin Brown but they’re coming in busses, and they are going to be stealing all of the salt water taffy. You’ll be able to recognize them by the masks they wear. Because if you wear a mask, you’re against freedom. Says so right in the constitution. I heard on Facebook that antifa and BLM are trying to defund planned parenthood as well. Jokes on them, I’ll show it to those libs, I donated to causes that support PP!

Martin Brown u live in take wood talking about dumps !
Newsflash for morons…….you have the right to PEACEABLY ASSEMBLE and PETITION the govt for redress of grievences. The second you commit a CRIME, you are NOT peaceably assembled and your 1A right goes out the window. You are now a CRIMINAL and deserving of what you get for it.
Now, let’s see how many idiot basement dwelling losers start whining………………….
Laura Lange bitch i was born in NYC, this whole fucking state is a dump, don’t sit on a high horse.
Eric Thompson stop being a tool
Donna Fusilli Hack settle down Karen.
Eric Thompson you obviously dont what fascism is if you calling me antifa
Chaz Scheideler that’s exactly what a fascist would claim.
Eric Thompson fascism is the suppression of some one or something by violence and force. Protection is not fascism. Im not gunna argue with you because you obviously dont know your facts????♂️
Chaz Scheideler So do something antiChaz.
Eric Thompson Another fake Facebook troll with absolutely nothing in his profile.
Robert W. Howley ya’llqueda aware of privacy settings?

Glenn Jensen Don’t be silly its NJ
Martin Brown LMAO. You’re in Lakewood !! There’s not a bigger dump in Ocean County.
My God – just follow the laws and and do what you are supposed to do if/when stopped or questioned and this kind of Sh#t will stop! I believe many are just pushing the buttons now – looking for confrontation and protests. Sick and sad

Lock en all up total shitbags
Protest away my Americans
I guess he forgot how to read
Antoinette Ferrara
Jenny Pea oh lord, I’m so over it already
Everyone believes the media. And they only show a portion of what happens. People need to see everything before forming a opinion.
People need to learn to follow the rules or get a ticket. We need our police to protect our communities!
Soooooo…… people are protesting because the officers did their job and the guy was breaking the law? Am I reading this right?
yep so I guess people think they can do whatever it is they want with no consequences at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rosanna Giacone this is why aliens abduct and probe us……..
Sharyn Alissa ????????????! Yup! They can’t believe the stupidity! Mind boggling!
Bring in National Guard. Stop playing games with this BS!
amen!!!!!!!!!!
The guy got popped for dealing heroin in 2017,go ahead and protest for a convicted drug dealer ????
1st time hearing that……..makes it even more pathetic that they are pulling this crap. Gotta love these moron protestors in their “race to the bottom”.
Can we get some protesting in memory of Charlie Manson while we are at it? Maybe in support of Bin Ladin? Oh wait, then they would have to tear down Obama statues……….
Way to ruin the nights of others… fucking assholes.
you got that right…the only thing here is these people have no brains to probe
#BackTheBlue
Kevin David amen !!!
What the hell they protest now stop to the bs
Lame
The dude was walking down the boardwalk drinking a bottle of Hennessy, gave the police a false name, then tried to just walk away while being detained and issued a citation. Then, bystanders began to heckle the police and throw things at them while they tried to write him a ticket, he also became combative. Once they got him to the ground and calmed him down, he was given his citation for an open container and released. What in the fuck are people protesting about?
Was he released on the spot? I thought once he upped his stupidity from a simple ticket to choosing obstruction and assault/resisting he was removed and processed at HQ.
Either way, to these idiot hacktivists it;s not about reality, it’s about exploiting some criminal POS’s stupidity to steal shit and get attention for their pathetic lack of a life.
They’re of the mindset when a cop attempts to arrest them and put them in handcuffs it’s okay for them provide false information, resist arrest, and/or run from the police, and the cops are supposed to just let them go. Attempting to gain control of them while they’re resisting arrest is racist and police brutality. None of the rules and procedures apply to them. After all, their ancestors were slaves over 200 years ago and that’s supposed to give then a free pass.
Patrick McMahon because the viral video only shows the cops taking him down with a bs narrative attached.
Time for the silent majority to show up and kick some ass.
Protect PPB.
Joe Daniel do you really wanna lose that comb over bro? You’ll have a heart attack and be on the wrong side of decency
Don Adelman I will be there to support the blue…
you can stay home and hide under your bed Karen.
Joe Daniel see old man thats how ignorant and naive you are. I would make sure you bring your aspirin and nitro meds. Blind faith gets you nowhere good. And to prove a point if this is happening im going to be easy to find. I’m going to smoke my medical marijuana as per the prescribed method and within the law with a few friends. Any problems with that will be awfully prosperous for us. The gestapo para military huckleberry cop shit needs to end, now
Don Adelman you still live in jackson..
Don Adelman lol…
Don Adelman if you watched the video and read chief letter… you would see Ppb did nothing wrong.
Joe Daniel yeah and? In a given year i more likely pay more in income tax than you make. I only prefer to have a little room without my neighbors peering in and a town who’s economy is tied to the weather. I built my home and had instant equity. You have floods and bennys
Joe Daniel and per capita much less of a heroin problem than point. Either way both towns are bad but all your kids are strung out
Don… your nothing but a handicap internet troll… get a life…
Don Adelman what the heck is wrong with you? Do you get off on being mean. I’ll come back to NJ and put your place quick you clown. Arrogant, condescending, and most likely by the rudeness a raving liberal. Internet tough guy still living in mommy’s basement. Keep scrolling clown! ????
Don Adelman translation: you still live at home with mommy and daddy. ????????????
Jersey Mike HM take it easy on him… I blocked the bozo…
he is wheelchair bound… ????
Joe Daniel bro, I started reading the comments and couldn’t believe how rude and out of left field he was. I’m tired of it. I call it out right away. I’m the same way in person. I don’t tolerate that mean crap.
So Everytime someone gets arrested their going to protests. WTF when is enough, enough
Amy Krish-Kuhl no everytime a black person gets arrested for acting like a fool, they protest.
Scott Therrien
That’s what I was getting at????
Amy Krish-Kuhl it is so ridiculous and exhausting.
When there’s not one of them left
The media shows how across the country people are doing what they want with out retribution. So all the copycats come out of the woodwork….you’re in NJ now, we don’t put up with crap. Try it here and you’ll be sorry. Anyone on the boardwalk make sure you have the backs of our men and women in Blue
Kathleen Alvarez Murphy B O O T L I C K E R
Don Adelman Don Adelman P U S S Y
This is very simple! Be a decent human, obey the laws, respect the towns you come to visit, don’t lie to police and don’t resist. End of f’in story. Set a good example for all the children you drag down here w you. We’ve had enough! This needs to stop and NOW!
If you fight back you get what you get play stupid games you when stupid prizes

Christine Olson Vassallo

Probably started by some racist white liberal
Spot on………I bet a few of them are on here too……I can think of a few names.
Beat the shit out of them
Carmine Francese quiet bootlicker your hogndoesnt make you a tough guy. Your bot Sonny from a Bronx tale. You’re only an old withered wannabe who’s Karen of a wife at home hasn’t touched him in years for being a douche
Don Adelman Na your mom sucks me off all the time ! Nice to see your boyfriend is your profile pic sugar tits
These are not law abiding citizens, those who seek to cause mayhem and violence are not productive in society. They are the criminals, baiters, haters, anarchists, and love to cause issues. If only the mind was educated and the voice was calm, then open dialogue could be achieved. Division comes from one’s mind and heart. Just like our parents hopefully taught us from the early years, you cannot do anything you want without consequences. You are not above the law, equal rights means everyone follows the rules. Back your good police and town representatives, this is a good vs evil world and the devil delights in mayhem. ✌???????? Be safe and well.
VI Horvath so you’re saying all protesters are rioters and it shouldn’t be allowed? Fun fact .. this country was founded on protest .. it’s a right of the people don’t like it move to china .. watch at how they deal with their protesters .. what an ignorant comment
VI Horvath i guess its obvious that some were not listening with their brains when they read your post. Lol or he was “TRIGGERED” as usual.
Tommy Lanza no, not even close. Be well and safe.
Joanne Jodi Fridson Cohen I just can’t sometimes.. Reading is fundamental..I agree to disagree with some but clearly this isn’t even close.
VI Horvath ????
VI Horvath your missing my point and so is Joanne Jodi Fridson Cohen .. I have a brain and I also use it .. I am also apparently much more open minded than you are .. just because I don’t agree with your point of views doesn’t mean I am wrong .. and instead of automatically making assumptions why don’t you look at the bigger picture and maybe try to understand my point of view
Tommy Lanza no your missing the point. She did not say anything against Peaceful Protests. She addressed ” those whom seek to cause violence, mayhem & stated non productive. She encouraged calm, dialogue. Protesting is a civil liberty, but the Anarchists, baiters, violence, rioting, looters destroying personal property, neighborhoods, shooting in neighborhoods. When they picked up the first rock, shot their first mortar, set the first fire & so on , then it was no longer a Peaceful Protest & now is just violence, criminal activity for all the wrong reasons & hence the dialogue is lost & change will not come about.
Joanne Jodi Fridson Cohen so them announcing a protest promotes a comment about violence mayhem ect? No there was no need to bring that up cause there is no validation behind it .. people said they wanted to hold a protest .. just because you don’t agree with it doesn’t mean it isn’t justified
Tommy Lanza I don’t know you therefore, I am not assuming your thoughts. I never said we have to agree. . What would you be protesting Tommy?
Joanne Jodi Fridson Cohen exactly! And what is/would the protest be about? There was no foul play involved in the arrest. The accused was intoxicated, uncooperative and untruthful, therefore, why protest? This has nothing to do with the death of George Floyd. His death is not a free pass to be above the law.
Open the Bridges ????
Right on Glen!
He deserves to be arrested These Thugs r doing this on purpose to get on the news Losers
Good 6 onn1 and without body cam footage its their word against the final outcome on film. And we all know cops do lie. Why don’t you peoplencomokainnthatvthe local police fight body cams costing you money in legal settlements almost as hard a they fight regular random drug tests
Don Adelman sorry, none of us speaks Walmart. Maybe try English…
Don Adelman it’s called drinking a bottle of Hennessy on the Board walk that’s against the law big No No ! No ID another big No No and he was an asshole to them don’t resist another big No No! Bye bye Felicia !
Abe Froman im dead lol..so true.
Abe Froman Omg, you win the Comments section. ????????
Abe Froman Best Comment of the Week Award ????
Michele Ike
ugh. I need to make sure Emma is off work before this starts up… And the dudes non-compliance was all video recorded btw.
https://thumbs.gfycat.com/TotalLoneBlackpanther-max-1mb.gif
And I’m sure Murphy will be leading the protest
Let them protest and pepper spray the a$$holes. You can’t even go to a nice quiet short town with your family and enjoy yourself with all of this crap going on there always has to be garbage
Jackie Keller Wurdemann agreed
Enough already and how are protest allowed with social distancing in place
Such double standards
Peaceful Protest all they want. If they get out of line slap the cuffs on and off to jail.
We need our police to do their job. This is getting ridiculous!!!
Thank the mentally ill liberal morons for all this
This is getting out of hand stop the bullshit now
They need to bring in as man cops as they can from neighboring towns and really kick some ass. Use tear gas, and bring in fire trucks and hit them with full force hoses. They need to send a message that this kind of stuff will not be tolerated and we’re not going to let it happen here. We win. You lose.
It was the guys fault not the cops! Stop the stupidity!
Kyla Sommers
Kate Graham I heard this earlier. I wish I had this kind of time on my hands..
I want to see all you people when they burn down your precious point pleasant and all your multimillion-dollar homes, then maybe you will wake up and understand what’s going on, these are not peaceful protesters these are agitators.. see that’s the problem with democratic libtards they think they’re exempt, but in fact when they’re done with us they’re coming for you.
Keep that shit out of point
Ryan No reason to…
What’s the bag limit?
It sure is getting ridiculous! If you have a lawless society, you have no society! It’s got to stop!
Back the blue
as long a it is peaceful but sick of all this unrest and riots and attacks on police its disgusting the world is going to hell
Any updates on this?
Can someone please tell me what possibly would be the reason to protest in this case? Someone breaking the law on multiple points, what is the defense? Ignorance? Entitlement?
VI Horvath probably because they feel they shouldnt get in trouble for anything.
Dunbar John that’s not a reason, that’s wishful thinking and has nothing to do with George Floyd’s death. Equal rights means no one is above the law! No one.. Follow the law and everyone is happy!
VI Horvath well look at what happens. Anything happens to someone of that race they protest and swear its a crime. The entitlement is insane. It pans out that way every single time. And its only going to get worse
Dunbar John I agree, if this continues, federal authorities will come in and take charge. There’s no good reason to put local police in a precarious situation where their every move is challenged. The desired outcome will be very different than what they thought. If you force the hand of law then it will answer back.
VI Horvath and when the law answers back its going to be glorious. They are acting like little kids who got detention
Dunbar John education is the key!
Jamie Jaekels Lees
Maybe a airstrike with napalm. Just saying for a friend.
Comply with the law and their directives–it’s that simple. Their job is to keep citizens safe–all citizens! If you don’t comply with the law you suffer the consequences. Sick of this bulls#*t!
Once they wrestled him to the ground they gave me a citation and release him are you serious.
how could theyif he had no ID
Maureen Davey Young
Had dinner tonight in Boro and brews in Beach.. nothing doing in the streets .. not sure why this ever gets any press.. Antifa loves to makes threats they can’t follow up on
No protest tonight… I was there around 8pm. Empty parking lots.
Don’t know if anyone on the other side got the Email but american patriots are fighting back. They know the police have thier hands tied in some cities. Their weak leaders are telling officers to stand down and let them riot. Patriots are filling that gap. Rioters show up, police fail to act because they are ordered not to, they take care of business and beat these entitled criminals back to their parents basements. I say bring it.
The tipping point has been reached.
F*** all these protests get a goddamn job nothing but a bunch of losers with nothing better to do
Water canons would work very well….wish our LEOs could use them.
