2 Paterson Officers Suspended Nine Months After Man's Disappearance, Attorney Says
The two Paterson police officers who were the last point of contact with a man before he went missing have been suspended from the force, according to the missing man's attorney.

According to family members, DeJesus was last seen around 6 p.m. on Feb. 2 near a Union Avenue bodeg…

Grand Jury: Officers Justified Killing Pair In 2019 Jersey City Firefight
Police were justified in shooting a couple who killed a fellow officer and three civilians in Jersey City, authorities on Wednesday said a state grand jury has found. Some would question the need for such a review given the circumstances of the fateful Dec. 10, 2019 firefight at a kosher grocery store. The answer: It’s required under New Jersey law and state attorney general’s guidelines. Authorities had no choice. David Anderson, 47, and Francine Graham, 50, had slain Jersey City Police Officer Joseph Seals in a nearby cemetery. They then wounded another officer before killing Mindy Fere…
