Post more info please
I hope the officer is alright. May the officer have a speedy recovery.
I hope this officer gets well soon so that he can continue to help fight crime in our community.
who is at fault?
Who is paying for the repair of his car?
Our prayers are with the officer and his family at this time. We hope he is going to be alright. And as committeman Meir Lichtenstein said recently to all the Lakewood police officers “come home safe, always safe”
umm thats kelly walsifer’s quote not meir lichtenstein’s…wow
for the record, it’s “always safe, extra safe”… I’m sure the commiteeman was quoting her, and was misquoted.
people shouldn’t speak if they can’t say it the right way. it’s safer to come up with their own phrase instead of messing up sombody elses quote that holds alot of meaning behind it.
Committeeman Lichtenstein did quote Kelly and qouted her correctly. The comment above messed it up, not Meir.
sorry, meant to say HE was misquoted
People, let it go. Why are we bickering over the quote. Just hope the officer is ok. That’s it. Please.
WHAT WAS THE OFFICER`S NAME?
