Police in NJ join peaceful protest

People march peacefully with police during daytime protests in N.J. towns


A day of peaceful protests continued in a few New Jersey towns on Tuesday as demonstrators gathered to call for an end to police brutality after the death of George Floyd last week.

A mid-morning march was held in Toms River where police walked alongside residents from a shopping center on Route 37 down to the Ocean County courthouse, chanting “I can’t breathe,” according to video from the scene.

Further south along the Jersey Shore, people gathered in Somers Point and marched toward Ocean City over the 9th Street Bridge Tuesday and ended at the public safety building where police officers spoke to the crowd, took a knee with fellow protestors and joined them in a nine-minute moment of silence.

This is how it should be done. No fighting the police, no violence, no overturning cars, just Americans exercising peacefully their inherent right to protest

I'm proud of the Garden State...New Jersey.
