Asbury Park

In separate incidents in New Jersey last month, police shot two armed Black men. The videos have now been released.

Toms River Police made a pair of drug related arrests while conducting surveillance in the eastern part of town on Tuesday.

The bullet hit her upper thigh and broke her femur bone, according to Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni. She is expected to recover.

Asbury Park Press reporter Gustavo Martinez was not wearing clothing that would make it readily clear he was a member of the media, investigators concluded.

Asbury Park was founded in 1871 by James Bradley, a man who believed blacks should not intermingle with whites and that the sight of black people would damage the city's economy.

The state has filed a lawsuit against Asbury Park over a city council resolution allowing indoor dining to start Monday.

The latest update to the executive order put in place by Gov. Murphy says that restaurants can open for outdoor dining starting June 15th. Asbury Park looked at that rule and said "nah, we got this."

A Monday late afternoon protest drew a large crowd to Asbury Park, where chants of "enough is enough," "George Floyd," and "no justice, no peace," punctuated the hours-long event.

The restrictions follow two instances where looting and vandalism broke out following Sunday marches in Trenton and Atlantic City.

While protests that started off peacefully in Atlantic City and Trenton turned violent on Sunday night, marches in other parts of the state did not.
