On September 22nd, 2011 Officers of the New Brunswick Police Department (New Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey) shot and killed an unarmed person. (Barry Deloatch)

For over two weeks the prosecutors office of Middlesex County has been handling the investigation behind closed doors and has not released any details.

The Middlesex county prosecutors office and New Brunswick Police Department are too closely tied for an unbiased and fair investigation to take place. The prosecutors office shares a building with the New Brunswick Police Department (25 Kirkpatrick Street).

We request that an agency outside Middlesex County begin an investigation into the case; specifically New Jersey’s Attorney General Paula T Dow and the United States Attorney General Eric Holder.
