On Saturday, Black Men United Jersey City held what they referred to as a “Black Power Rally” at Berry Lane Park to address national and local problems with the police.
Mayor Steven Fulop tweeted a 20-second cell phone video from the event where it showed demonstrators chanting “f the pigs,” writing that he supports civil demonstrations and protests, but not “inflammatory + infectious rhetoric which only further divides us like this.”
“Obscenities being hurled at police officers who risk their lives every day is unacceptable, we should agree this isn’t an appropriate way to express grievances + it undermines calls for change.”
