reported incidents over the past three years. people writing disparaging remarks about cops about on receipts and refusing to serve them when they come in for lunch or dinner. our story takes us to an east brunswick pizza shop in new jersey where police officer claims that one of the folks serving her wrote pig on the pizza box. i had the opportunity to talk to the owner of this pizza shop and i talked to him at length and he says look, it did happen. what the officer thought was pig was a squiggly line that represents an order of garlic knots. >> the officer starts screaming say and why did you write word pay on my box. he immediately turned around and he said excuse me officer, that does not say the word paid. now, talk to some of my friends were cops and their standing their ground. a lot of people are really blaming this message restaurant

to social media. it seems like the minute something happens people take to social media and have at it. for details will bring in ashley johnson. >> a pizza shop in east brunswick new jersey is at the center of controversy for an alleged police note. that cop says an employee wrote pig. but the man who works here i was here when it happened says, that was never the case. >> there to chicken panini, they put it in, i took out the twist and i marked it on the box. which is a pns squiggly line for alec. we've doing that for eight years. all my employees know the symbol. she was pretty far from the box when she made this accusation. very irritable. >> it sparked a social media war. the local pd eight please came in and took to facebook back in the cap. >> we love the police, we still . when i can it change t w it.

because one cop aggressive with us. >> what are your thoughts on incident? you can tweet me at ashley j and tweet the show at chasing news.l to weigh in. matt, welcome back. you are jersey attorney and particle strategist editor. mike donovan, silver rights advocate, good to have you back. and jeanette hoffman, political strategist. yo s teems to me there could be a miscommunication iname time, i h the cops. i think the right to be sensitive about this, there seems to be an onsl anti- cop negativity. >> this officer has a thinner skin of ever seen.

i'm shocked and dismayed that she's patrolling the streets. what is it like for her of her feelings are hurt by a squiggly line on a pizza box. what is it when she deals with real crime. how are we to expect that she is doing her duty and not --be police visit for her. >> but that's the officer's integrity, wouldn't anybody be insulted given the cl >> there's a lot going on out there. i don't think ourrcent are necey getting the support they need or deserve in the community. i think there's a lot of people atter. that being said, i have a hard time believing that this small business would sabotage itself by writing something so inflammatory in the pizz >> liberals who love to talk about this my friend remembered

that the police don't have this despite the tremendous risk they take. we should not jump to conclusions. but we should also have a little bit of sympathy for the men and women in blue. would you feel the same way if they wrote it disparaging racist remark on box? >> if it were not obviously or racial disparaging remark, i would feel the same way. if it were obviously the n-word, then i think people could choose not to go there. >> is that fair? no safe space for cops, suck it up? >> is kind of a pr disaster at this point. i think they should make lemonade out of lemons. send some pizza to the police station,. >> what we've got here is a problem much bigger than garlic knots and what's written on the box. we have a situation where as mike articulated, some bigotry is more acceptable are able to be tolerated than others. we need to be get past that. all i was matters and everybody

feeling should be taken into account. >> the police chief has opened an investigation into what? a pizza box christmas there's real crime here and there investigating this like it's a criminal offense? >> this is getting a little bit more conservative than we first started. >> let's treat them like they have extra power and authority in our country and should be expected to leverage that power and authority to do good in the communities, not to destroy business because of a misunderstanding. that's wrong. >> what you think? tweet the show at chasing news. the question is, the cops too sensitive or do they have a right to say how about a little respect, what you think? >> were gonna switch gears and talk about what i think is a pending disaster in trenton. trenton's got at least 99 problems. and parking meters not one of them. let's get some details from brian donahue.

>> nothing. no wonder the former mayor is sitting in west virginia prison for accepting bribes from fbi informant imposing as parking garage developers. it's the equivalent of a stadium worth of state workers drives into town every day, park their cars and then leaves at the same time. you people making fake residential parking permits to park and city neighborhoods. fraudulent handicap stickers are for rampant and adding the free-for-all, these old coin operated dinosaurs. the city says the party of the chaos should soon be over. the city council is introduced to ordinances to set aside $1.2 million for new parking meters in trenton to replace the 980 or so old coin meters.

to those companies who wanted to bid they could have new computers chaos or new meters like you seen other cities. the days of doing this may soon be over. your free parking? go play monopoly. >> thank you. guys, you heard it. i think this is absurd. i think they have $1.2 million. i can think of a million ways to spend it better. you spend a lot of time in trenton, what you think? >> first mother's day 1.2 million and then put it at a bit and then it will be 1.2 billion by the time it's on. on top of that, it's a matter of priority. everything in this state is a revenue problem. what it is is a police problem. the new mayor didn't bake the cake or create these problem. but that's for his energy should be invested. if we had enough police this wouldn't be an issue. >> to pay the major when you go? >> i do. but i used to work across the street from the statehouse and

clients would come in and say my parking meter went over we get a ticket. i said no because somebody's going step two blocks away. >> i would put a quarter in the meter and knocked it over into the street once i took a picture and said okay, if i get called on this i have evidence. >> at the risk of sounding like republican, isn't there private industry solution? can we bring in a public-private partnership to bring a new meters at the company's cost and then they get it take? >> is i would should be advocating for in trenton? there's people living on the streets and kids that don't get enough food. it's a disaster. >> and new jersey in does a horrible job in criminal justice. there's a ton of reform that could happen. we can all agree on that. i think that would be better use of $1.2 million check them parking meters.

there are cities to bring in private industry solutions to do this and they are big problems. >> eric jackson, how about thinking outside the box. there are bigger problems in your city for sure. >> what you think, tweet us. >> guys, i want to bring in chief meteorologist from new jersey one oh 1.5, my friend dan, dan, hurricane kurt it was a tropical storm announced a big deal. >> the most imposing storm name ever is kicking out to sea and passed with them for 500 miles of the coast of the northeast united states. it's really a fish storm running due east. really a nonissue. >> at the risk of this being a public service announcement which i hate. isn't it important to talk about the recurrence? seems to me we've were reporting death after death in the ocean people not paying attention and thinking there's nothing to

worry about then they get pulled out. >> anytime there's a tropical storm we need to pay attention and look at what the surface doing. sometimes the ocean gets turned up, sometimes it doesn't. there's local expertise that goes into the local rip current risk. you have to be attention to lifeguard instructions. matter how strong swimmer you are, the ocean is stronger. >> part of the issue with people drowning at the shore, i wonder how much is time to all the money were spending same thing with disaster what they call christy lake. >> anytime you mess with nature there's bound to be consequences. when were transforming the faith of the new jersey shore i hope they're doing the studies to make sure they're not turning our beaches into death traps. >> we need to work on these names. thank you dan.

>> welcome back to chasing news. i'm bill. i want to talk to you about electric cars. you know what, they're fine, sort of, would you charge them? one of the biggest complaints about people buying electric cards that accept people like me. where do you plug it in to get a charge? people are frustrated. governor christie came out made a big deal on the new jersey

turnpike. cut a ribbon, there's a charger for your electric car. we haven't heard anything since that publicity sun. for more in this list check in with area on. >> finding a gas station to fill up your car new jersey is not difficult, but if your electric car driver, it's like john weber from bradley beach, then finding a place to charger currently not at home can be an issue. >> i would look online if there's charging infrastructure there. >> just one problem, there's not a lot of it here in new jersey. >> hoboken, new jersey. on the side of the screen new jersey. jersey. and it's manhattan. >> with approximately 10000 electric vehicles being registered in new jersey only couple hundred charging stations like this one on the rooftop of the train station in trenton, range excited here the fear of

not having a charge to get your final destination is a very real problem. even when you do find a tries charging station at the plug might not fit your car and you have to worry about getting iced out. >> this is way call be nice out. an internal combustion engine. park versus electric vehicles only. with electrical vehicle car sales up 79% for last year new jersey, it's clear that infrastructure changes need to be made a priority in new jersey. >> why is there leg and infrastructure as it relates to the sales of electric vehicles in new jersey? >> it really comes down to whenever there's new technology there's going to be a catch up. for the infrastructure. >> you can follow me on twitter or if you just get iced out and

>> there's a study that just came out that said by the year 2040, half of all lightweight vehicles are going to be electric cars. right now we don't have the infrastructure to charge them all. service can afford to charger iphones. >> most of the sales are driven by tax breaks and subsidies. the question is, how much is too much? do you think people in jersey, new york and across the country will stomach higher taxes to support new infrastructure? >> they might but they'll be crazy to continue to do it. the simple way of saying what mike illustrated his people don't want these yet. it could be a great technology and part of solution but i'm fine with that he might pay for. >> what's funny is even if you plug that into the grid guess what's feeling that electricity, coal, natural gas, the whole thing is hypocritical from were starting on the wrong end.

>> is a policymakers need to think about. our reliance on the gas tax to pay for transportation infrastructure is huge. only shift that we don't have that how are we funding our roadways? >> i get home is 40 miles per hour my little core car. that's a solution. what you think, tweet us, thinker panel, good have you, it's good have you. >> staging, more chasing news. >> higher meteorologist and with a look of your weather forecast. as we discussed a few minutes ago, hurricane gert is out. no more affects expected. that's good news. there's a couple of tropical waves lining up across the atlantic ocean, whether or not they will develop into a tropical storm or hurricane we will see. next name on the list is harvey and then irma, irm a it would be
