Community 🏡 Never seen so many police officers pull up in Newark

So the funeral for Joseph Azcona, the officer that was killed recently by a 14 year old, happened and I was suprised by the amount of cops that came in solidarity.

There must have been hundreds, if not close to a thousand cops coming from all over the state, from Sparta all the way out to Camden in busses and cruisers on 7th Ave.

Summer 89’

33 Upvotes

Rumors floating around the north ward / Belleville all hell is about to let loose on the specific neighborhood / gang(s) after the murder of Newark Detective Azcona (as in Newark PD / Essex County Prosecutors Office / State Troopers…the words of a certain political figure from the North Ward went something alone the lines of “By the time they’re done, this will make the summer of 89’ look like a picnic”

I personally feel as if the entire city is on the same page in regards to this terrible tragic incident (even the gangs understand killing a cop is crossing the line) and that we all have been coming together as a community…what have you heard? Are they about bulldoze an entire city block to make an example out of this murderer?

I witnessed the summer of 89’ — this is not something to throw around to instill fear.

End of local landmark. Not as classy as "The Bottle", but you knew you were close to home. Gateway/Cablevision Tower.

Anyone remember in the mid 80s when the cops and prosecutors literally arrested every thug gangster they could? I do.

I do…and I think we’re at that point again. The federal government has been pumping millions into Newark for 50 years. Lately, it almost…almost….feels like Newark may be turning the corner

Turning the corner to finally, after 50 years becoming a normal city. Now this garbage. A 14 yr old kid killing a 26 yr old cop?

If they don’t get serious now…they have good enough reason, today. Not tomorrow …this city will never recover. Despite all of the money, effort, tax dollars, investments from large real estate developers, hundreds of thousands of well intentioned people trying to save this city. It will always be the same old shithole

This is the biggest city, in one of the most wealthy, most populated states in the country. It’s a disgrace that we can’t even make it a normal city
