Ed, I’m calling because my father, a state employee, was taken in handcuffs out of the state Department of Education Office of Fiscal Accountability and Compliance on Spruce Street in Trenton and placed in a State Police vehicle because they said he had stolen something. However, a white man who stole mileage on a travel reimbursement report, from what I understand, was allowed to pay back the money. Mind you, the director of this office is a former major in the New Jersey State Police. The black man gets the jail time, taken out in handcuffs, put in the back of a police car. The white man still keeps his job and his paycheck, and all he gets is a slap on the wrist. Where’s the justice in that?

What is your father accused of stealing? It’s hard to compare apples-to-apples here if we don’t know. —Ed. Note
