We the undersigned of this petition denounce the actions of Fair Lawn, NJ Mayor Kurt Peluso's ordering of members of the Fair Lawn Police Department to remove face masks honoring those officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, the Thin Blue Line American Flag. 

Mayor Peluso's actions politicized a day in which we remember those that perished in the terror attacks of 9/11.

In addition to Mayor Peluso's actions, there was no prayer or benediction, the ceremony lasted merely 13 minutes, and none of the council members spoke.

Only one of the family members of those we lost on that tragic day were in attendance possibly because the ceremony was thrown together last minute after public outcry on social media 48 hours prior to September 11th.

For a ceremony that was allegedly planned in advance, this was a rather sad tribute to those we lost.

Please sign below to show your support for our brave men and women who selflessly serve the great Borough of Fair Lawn, NJ.

They do so despite the actions of the Mayor and council who have clearly shown they stand on the side of the Black Lives Matter activists chanting "all cops are bastards" as well as those who hate and vilify police.
