| [NBC40.net] NORTH WILDWOOD - A disabled U.S. Army veteran, who served our country for 19 years, says he was kicked off the North Wildwood boardwalk last night, simply for having his service dog by his side. North Wildwood? .... Alabama? No. Georgia? No. Texas? No. Virginia then? No. Ok, I give up, where is it then? Oh, THERE. Jared Goering served 1 tour in Iraq, 2 in Afganistan, and spent 19 years as an active member of the Army. Jared said, "I served from 1993 to 2012." He then told NBC40 he couldn't sleep Thursday night because he felt so disrespected by a North Wildwood police officer. Goering said. "Just like any veteran with disabilities with a service dog, to come back and be harassed and shown no respect, it upset me - it really bothered me. I was up most of the night thinking about it. Upsets me as well. A North Wildwood police officer issued Jared and his wife a summons because of the dog. Should be a former policeman, and a man in search of a new line of work. |

| #5 It looks to me that the serviceman is using the dog as a Weapon against the cop, he doesn't need the dog to get around Me, I'm not a doctor. I'll go along with the police chief and see what happens "pending the outcome of the investigation". |

| #4 Are you suggesting people are lucky the cop didn't fire at the dog and wound three passer-bys? |

| #1 New Jersey!! I am not surprised. I have had only terrible times in that place. Especially the police whether local or state. As a serviceman driving through the state with out-of-state plates, I was always stopped for alledgedly having minor problems with my car or I was holding up traffic (?) not speeding. |
