I doubt it; East Orange is one of the western extensions of the Newark NJ Welfare Hatchery - kind of like a residential Detroit.

From the comments section of the article:

This isn’t the 1st time him along with his family been involved in a violent incident. He assaulted a police officer, his son kicked/punched a police officer, his other son kicked the back window out of a police vehicle. Yet nothing happened to them and they tried to sue the officers that was on scene at the time. 

@Shadow374 were these incidents reported?

@essexcountypolitics @Shadow374 Yes they were and the family was taken to headquarters as if they was in VIP & hung out in the Chiefs office. They was released later without any bail and it was a joke to them. Not so far after a lawsuit appeared and they claimed to be the victims and certain paperwork from that night seemed to have vanished until the judge noticed it when he wondered how they was claiming to be victims.
