My mother called to wish me happy birthday today. In any case, she was telling me about Mark (one of my brothers), who well is a police officer in Trenton, NJ. From what she was saying, he was rather upset, she didn't get all the details, but it sounds like something is up...
He recently was sent in to deal with a number of (I'm not sure if they're in a gang or what), but in the process of dealing with it, one pulled a knife on him, which was in the assailants shoe or something... This isn't an isolated incident either, and the criminals down there have become rather more dangerious and are better armed from what she suggested.
Meanwhile, well I asked if they were being trained to deal with this/disarm some of these assailants. She mentioned that someone (higher up then the police chief, she suggested connected with the mayor, though I'm wondering govenor?) insists on going out to observe these officers in person, and if they don't do everything, exactly his way, they can pretty much expect to sit back in the station...from the sound of it they aren't allowed to defend themselves from an armed assailant and are under close scrutiny.
From what was said, the police chief (this comes from above his head) and police captain have pretty much been taken out of commission or something. Albert (another brother of mine), who is a detective in the same PD has said someone is going to die there most likely, before things get corrected. He also filed for disability (something to do with his leg) and hopes to weather this, until situations improve. Mark is apperently having nightmeres every night of dieing now, and doesn't expect to survive the summer...
Paul (brother and law) who was a seargant last I heard at the Summit, NJ PD, had according to mom mentioned that they haven't seen any of these changes yet in his department, though the same man has jurisdiction over there (which is what makes me think this goes beyond mayor). Police commissioner or someone? WTF is going on there now, anyone have an idea? This is about all I got second hand, considering everything...
