We ask the community to rally behind Lt. Ken Reid, a 30 year
veteran who has dedicated his life to serving on the Plainfield Police force. We
demand answers for the community! There is an injustice occurring against Lt.
Reid. We want to know why is Lt. Reid
being singled out, harassed and why he is being pressured into retirement? Why
is he being threatened with getting demoted? Lt. Reid is more than deserving of
his title that he earned serving the public all his life. Why is he being
threatened with six months without pay? Why has someone been placed in this department
to get rid of those that don’t fall in line? Are these orders from our Mayor?
If so Mayor, you will not get away with this!
Let us say as a community, you cannot shakedown pillars to
our community! We should as a community, stand and say – Enough is Enough! Please come and show your support for Lt. Ken
Reid on Wednesday, 3/9 at 1 pm in front of Plainfield Courthouse at 325 Watchung Ave. Lt. Reid has been there for us, and now it is
time to be there for him!
I don't know why Lt. Reid is being "squeezed" (for lack of a better word) by the department, but just because there is controversy doesn't imply there is no merit. If Reid feels he is being targeted unjustly, let him speak out and address the charges being leveled against him. He can do it himself or through an attorney, whose service he has presumably enlisted. Meanwhile, I for one will not jump to any conclusions. Nor should you. The City's hands are legally tied about discussing the issue publicly, but the same can't be said for Lt. Reid. If the allegations are unjust or without merit, Reid owes it to his supporters and all Plainfield residents to clear the air.
ReplyDeleteI physically cannot be there I will be there in spirit, this is an ongoing trend getting rid of good cops who happend to be black
ReplyDeleteI do not know the circumstances of his alledged demise and being forced to retire or else by Plainfield's finest.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I do know Lt. Reid, therefore, I speak to his character, he is an outstanding individual that has always had an authentic concern for people's well being. He has always, since a young child, wanted to serve his community as a police officer. He succeeded at doing just that. Innocent until proven otherwise...... We got your back sir....Thank you for your service.
Just saw this, bt this is some bs idk whats goingbon bt he has been there for me and my daugther
ReplyDeleteLt. Reid, we love you soooooo much. We love you with the love of God. So much love, so much God. We weren't there for the first part, but we will be there for everything else like you are always there for us. Through everything you say and do, you taught us that God is in control and angels like you will win. You are a reflection of His perfection. Not only do my children look up to you, but my dad and myself also. You've been part of our family for so long. You always inspire us. We're the greatest because you're the greatest. We are all the greatest bc God is the greatest. Keep the faith. The Moore-Pender Family
