When Emily Gil learned of the lack of affordable housing in Englewood Cliffs and the fact she believes Black residents are priced out of her Bergen County hometown she felt an urgent need to enact change. The 18-year-old, who graduated from Bergen County Technical School in June, organized a small, peaceful Black Lives Matter protest last month, she says. Englewood Cliffs has dodged affordable housing requirements for 40-plus years, Gil told NJ Advance Media. I find that unacceptable. Four days after the July 25 rally, Gil received a hefty bill for police overtime. Please promptly forward your payment to the borough in the amount of $2,499.26 for the police overtime caused by your protest, Englewood Cliffs Mayor Mario M. Kranjac wrote in a letter. The letter provided to NJ Advance Media states that since Gil had refused to meet with officials ahead of the protest, the borough was left scrambling to provide security. Your lack of notification left the borough with little time to prepare for your protest so that the police department and department of public works could ensure that everyone would be safe, the letter states. Gil explained that borough officials had requested she meet with them in person but she declined due to concerns over the coronavirus. She offered to meet with them on Zoom instead but they didnt accept, she said. They kept pushing (an in-person meeting) and then they stopped responding to me, she said. Gil said only 30 to 40 people attended the rally, caused no disturbances and picked up their own trash. In an email, Gil complained about the overtime bill to Englewood Cliffs Police Chief William Henkelman. Henkelman wrote back that he had notified the borough of the extensive preparation required and the additional staffing that was needed, including overtime

That is the reason you get a permit.
Notice they are all in the same indoctrinated age group.
We have a lost generation or two.
Declined to meet with officials in person because Covid, had no trouble protesting in person with others because...........entitled Black ASS!
She got what she wanted, a peaceful protest with police protection. Pay the piper, fool!
Be still, my beating heart.
I find that unacceptable.
Doesn’t think much of herself, does she?
If you look to the right of the picture you can see at least one police officer.
If you look to the right of the photo you can see at least one police officer.
Yes, well that is the problem, she didn’t think.
2500 seems kinda cheap considering...
