Aberdeen PBA releases statement on Seaside Heights Destruction
Let us be absolutely clear: the recent surge of violence, large-scale unruly crowds, and blatant disregard for the law is not a surprise. It is the predictable result of policies that have handcuffed law enforcement, empowered lawbreakers, and ignored the safety and quality of life of our communities.
Governor Murphy and Attorney General Platkin — your failure to act decisively in the face of growing lawlessness is an insult to the men and women who wear the badge and to every resident and business owner in Seaside Heights and throughout this state. Your reluctance to support tougher enforcement, your silence in the face of repeated public safety breakdowns, and your misguided priorities have emboldened the very behavior you claim to oppose. Simply put, while you’re making political theatre the state is falling apart.
The people of New Jersey deserve better. Our officers are outnumbered, overworked, and constantly second-guessed — not by the public, but by the political class that refuses to stand behind them.
We call on the Governor and Attorney General to immediately address the public safety crisis in Seaside Heights and across our shore communities. That means more officers, stronger penalties, real consequences for lawbreakers, and the full backing of the state’s highest offices — not politically motivated restraints that tie the hands of law enforcement.
It’s time for our so-called leaders to either back the badge or get out of the way. We stand with the members of theSeaside Heights Police Departmentt. It would be nice to see the political class in Trenton do the same.”
Ron Osadacz Jr.
President Aberdeen Local 163
