THREAD: Since I published a secret recording last week of the Bergen County Sheriff going on a racist rant I've fielded several tips about shocking remarks made by public officials in Bergen County, NJ. In this thread I'll highlight two that recently aired in public meetings.1/7
"I'd like to kill her, but I can't do that. I look at the 'Shawshank Redemption' and say, 'Hmmm.'" - Englewood Cliffs Police Chief Michael Cioffi on Englewood Cliffs Council President Carrol McMorrow. 2/7
That remark was made on a tape recording made by Cioffi and played by McMorrow at Thursday night's council meeting. The tape was released as part of a lawsuit that both are embroiled in. Hear the tape at 12:45: englewoodcliffsnj.org/content/307/14… 3/7
"Maybe that kid deserved to get the crap beat out of him, because you don’t know. I’m just keeping it real. Because you know some people do need a beat down."-Teaneck School Board Pres. Ardie Walser at a public meeting after a fight sent a freshman to hospital with concussion.4/7
Remarks were made at a Sept. meeting at end of discussion about arming school cops & bringing kids involved in fights to police station. Despite the weighty topic & concussed freshman, there was much laughter at the meeting. Full "beat down" comment attached. Link follows. 5/7
"Beat down" remark from Teaneck school board president starts at 51:45. He also talks about how he hit his own children, without regrets. He added: "If they need a behind whipping, that’s what they need, but it has to be done I think thoughtfully." 6/7

So I guess I'm just trying to say, while you may be paying full attention to #KavanaughHearings, there’s plenty you may be missing at your local council & school board meetings. 7/7

An Albanian woman is on tarmac at Newark Airport right now on verge of deportation. She was detained in April after she allegedly interfered with officials as they deported her husband. Her son remains in detention in N.J. Her 10-year-old daughter, a U.S. citizen, now parentless.
Here's the back story on her arrest that led to her deportation. (northjersey.com/story/news/new…) She said she was just trying to hug her husband goodbye. They had lived here 17 years. After he was deported back to Albania, he said he was beaten by armed men. He's a Christian minority.
And here's the @oslazarus @WNYC @TheTakeaway deep dive into the family and their story, from March, before these deportations. wnyc.org/story/family-f…
