After watching the video of former Red Bank officer Mark Kaylor laying on and beating a defenseless man, I'm extremely puzzled how the Red Bank officials who cleared him could watch the same video, see the mug shot of the man and his injuries, and condone his actions and clear him of any wrong doing.
As a former resident and graduate of Red Bank, I'm embarrassed that the city has officials with the mentality that think this kind of behavior is acceptable.
Personally, I feel that whomever put the final seal of approval on these actions should be fired. Kaylor's conduct was cowardly and offensive and anyone with any common sense could see that.
The residents of Red Bank deserve better government than this and I sincerely hope someone will find the courage to step forward and put a stop to these "rubber stamp" approvals of this and any future such actions by the police force.

I couldn't possibly agree with you more. The behavior I witnessed on the video was nothing more than the actions of a two-bit coward and thug who should have never been given a badge.
As for any and all of the gangsters in authority who cleared that miserable excuse for a peace officer, they should not only be fired, but also be indicted themselves for conducting a criminal conspiracy and cover-up.

I couldn't disagree with you two more. How about you two try to arrest me while I resist and let's see how you do.
I applaud Red Bank Brass for siding with their officer.
Here's a thought to the poor defenseless man, don't resist.
The rest of you who have never wore the badge, keep your mouths shut. There was nothing wrong with what that officer did. That was what they call a fight.
