The lawsuit names the township, Burke and township Manager Joseph Sabatini.
Underwood said the department also looked at his personal Facebook page, where he got into another exchange regarding race relations on June 10.
Underwood shared a video entitled, What the left won t tell you about the plight of Black people and the myth of systemic racism. The video, posted by NewsBusters, which touts itself as a blog exposing and combating liberal media bias, includes snippets from interviews with famous Black people including rapper Lil Wayne. The rapper states in an interview that there is no such thing as racism.
In the exchange, Underwood writes, apparently sarcastically, I now see it. Because I grew up in a well-off white town and never had to deal with discrimination because of the color of my skin I must be racist.
Freehold Township officials, former police officer reach settlement
Freehold Township officials, former police officer reach settlement
FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP – A settlement agreement has been reached between Freehold Township municipal officials and a former police officer regarding allegations the individual was receiving excessive disability payments.
On Nov. 10, the Township Committee authorized the settlement of the litigation between the township and the former officer in the Freehold Township Police Department. The litigation began in late 2018 when municipal officials filed a complaint against the former officer in state Superior Court.
According to the township’s complaint, the former officer began receiving accidental disability payments from the New Jersey Division of Pensions and Benefits (DPB) in 2011 due to a hand injury that was determined to have left him permanently and totally disabled.
