Photos From Hazlet Protest March Monday

HAZLET, NJ — A reader sent us in these photos from the anti-police brutality/George Floyd protest march Monday afternoon in Hazlet.

The march started at 1 p.m. at the Hazlet swim club and from there marchers walked to stand outside Hazlet police headquarters. They are in front of police headquarters now.

The march has remained peaceful.

Hazlet Mayor Mike Glackin said he supports the rights of the marchers but still put an 8 p.m. curfew in place tonight in Hazlet.

"We are committed to building trust and mutual respect within our community. We support the interests of all residents and respect their rights to free speech and peaceful assembly. We denounce violence, and acts of police misconduct, and we do not condone the actions of the officers that lead to the tragic death of George Floyd," said Glackin.

"Recently, at a few other similar events, some individuals have unfortunately engaged in non-peaceful disturbances that have endangered the health and safety of those peacefully assembled, and of bystanders and residents," he continued. "This curfew is in place for all persons in Hazlet."
