BRIDGETON, N.J. — One hundred protesters marched in front of City Hall here Jan. 7 demanding charges be filed against two city cops, Braheme Days and Roger Worley, for the Dec. 30 killing of Jerame Reid. Reid was shot during a traffic stop as he exited a car with his hands raised. A video of the killing from the police dash cam was made public Jan. 20, after several media outlets forced its release under the state’s “open records” law. Protests are continuing. “We have to keep fighting for justice. There is no alternative,” Karen Peltway, president of the South Jersey Coalition of Black Trade Unionists and a leader of the protests, told the Militant. |
