In the late autumn sunlight, hundreds of police officers from across the county, clad in navy blue uniforms, stood in silence in Bayview Cemetery to pay solemn tribute to a fallen brother.
Jersey City officials and police officers gathered Thursday morning to honor Jersey City Police Detective Joseph Seals, the first victim of the Dec. 10, 2019 mass shooting that claimed the lives of three other innocent civilians considered the worst incident of domestic terrorism in state history.
“Throughout generations, ugliness and hate, sin break so many hearts,” JCPD Chaplain Victor Kennedy said during Thursday’s ceremony. “And yet, there are so many people that stand up and say no.”
