Woodlynne Borough Police Officer ASSAULTS Youth!

Update (6/11/2020):

Woodlynne Officer Ryan Dubiel has been charged with two counts of simple assault, and to the best of our knowledge is still just suspended without pay. The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office has released the Officer Dubiel’s body camera footage, as well as the 911 call that brought them in the first place, which you can see below. Given the nature of this video, viewer discretion is advised:

It is important to reiterate a few points here that a lot of you may already know:

  1. He was supposed to be on administrative duty for his involvement in the shooting last year.
  2. He can clearly be seen goading the young men, going so far as to calling one “a bitch” as he runs away.
  3. 3:00 minutes in, the baton comes out.
  4. His entire demeanor changed as soon as officers from other departments showed up, indicating a level of confidence that strongly suggests that the rest of Woodlynne’s department is already aware of his attitudes.
  5. Someone authorized his being on the street, and that person is just as responsible for what happened.
  6. He worked in nine other departments. Nine. And we know that there were similar use of force complaints.
  7. Other residents reported problems with this officer earlier that same morning.

The next Council Meeting is tonight at 7:30, via Zoom conference. From the Borough Website (www.woodlynnenj.org):

Original Post:

It is again with heavy heart that I must report to you on something that has just occurred in our community. Earlier this afternoon, police approached a group of youths on a porch near the corner of Parker Ave and Woodlynne Ave, which resulted in one of them being pepper sprayed without warning or provocation.

By this guy:

Look familiar? He should. This is the guy that reports claim beat a handcuffed African-American woman outside of her home after *she* called for their help just a few months ago.

Below is footage that we obtained that was taken during the altercation. We have made no alterations to this video and uploaded it almost immediately upon receiving it. Viewer discretion is advised:

We arrived shortly after, as the young man, in handcuffs, was taken across the street to be rinsed off with a garden hose. Video of what we witnessed is below as well:

This crap needs to stop. It’s been going on for way too long, and the Borough is aware of it. He needs to be terminated, and charges need to be filed.

  1. Don’t try to portray these kids as the Best woodlynne has seen! These kids terrorize everyone walking past them! So please, save the sympathy!

    1. They “Terrorize“ everyone that walks by? It seems as though it was the police actually “terrorizing” in this situation. The kids may have been acting like jerks…idk, but probably not deserving of chemical force.
      Please choose your words that accurately describe a situation. Adding unnecessary drama can cause grave harm, especially to black people.

    2. They didn’t do anything to warrant that treatment! Regardless of what u think they’re children. If it were you’re kids would you feel the same . If u feel they’ve been a problem why as an adult did u not bring this to the attention of their parents or the elders of this community, clearly I saw many adults from this community outside, how about you fix the problem instead of getting online and being insensitive.

    3. That’s a lie but okay jenn, I guarantee if these were your kids you’d be in an uproar. If you get to know them then you’d know they’re HELPFUL and RESPECTFUL.

    4. These exact kids? First, you’re probably not referring to these kids which makes for a racist jerk. Second, if these kids had previously done what you said, which I highly doubt, they STILL don’t deserve this treatment for sitting on a porch doing nothing. Get a clue

    5. Jenn. I don’t think anyone is portraying anything here. This isn’t an issue of character of the children, it’s an issue of injustice. When you look at unrelated reasoning you’re basically justifying the injustice. That’s why people are all in uproar with your comments. I hope that makes sense .

    6. In that moment, whatever you think they are is irrelevant! Why was that kid pepper sprayed for sitting on the porch?! Wtf was the provocation?! Hey real

    7. I walk past or drive through woodlynne I see the kids just hanging out with their friends I never see them bothering or disrespecting anybody.

    8. Allot is going in in the world right now what this cop did is wrong and when people justify bad behavior they are just as wrong. There teens yes they gonna rebel but we are adults we must teach them better. People who support wrong are wrong and people shouldn’t get angry and disrespect others cause they don’t like to here another opinions.

    9. jenn shut the fuck up and go kiss the rest of the unfair justice system’s ass since you love it so much you’re obviously not from woodlynne

    10. jenn i hope u get a can of pepper spray shoved up your ass by police for just sitting on your porch. then when it’s reported i can comment on the article about it and call you a pussy ass bitch who deserved it. fuck u jenn go kiss the rest of the unfair justice system’s ass since you love it so much. u obviously don’t live in woodlynne.

    11. Do you personally know these kids or are u just generalizing them based on their appearance? You probably would cross the street if you seen a group of them together but if it were a group of white kids you’d walk right by and not think twice. Sounds to me like you are the part of the problem this world is currently facing. I pray for you

  2. This is really sad. You really sprayed that young man for nothing. Like we are not enduring enough turmoil over police brutality and you carelessly sprayed him like that.

    I am beyond disappointed and saddened that this is happening in Woodlynne. May your job be no more, for you to carelessly disregard you oath to be a super cop.

  3. Are You Serious?. He needs to be held accountable for this. How many time is he going to get away with this kind of behavior.

  4. This is unacceptable!. Our world is going through so much and this officer could not find a better way to handle asituation with teens. Kids are going to be annoying, it doesn’t make it right, but spraying an unarmed teen with pepper spray seems to me as a way of bullying the kid. I support police with all my heart. My Father in Law was a policeman in Camden.way too long, and I have friends i. Law enforcement but I in no way condone any form of bullying or brutality. If the officer has a history. the community must demand the termination of employment. Stand together, get a petition started or meet with the chief. Have your facts straight. Good luck, and to the teen targeted, please know not all white people act that way.

    1. We know all white people dont act this way but the majority of the white people we cross paths with are racist and attack us physically or with racial slurs we should feel comfortable and safe in our own neighborhoods. Those offers accused us of having illegal substances and attacked us for no reason.

  5. This is the problem with police officers smh you’d think that kids like us can be safe in our own community. I thought police were to protect and serve not harass and attack innocent African Americans. This officer actions need to be accounted for. The fact that my friends and I were pepper sprayed for doing nothing wrong is sickening. Please do better woodlynne!

  6. Handled extremely poorly. In the mist of all these protests ,really?I cant believe it.Instead of Progression were regression!Sad,I will continue to pray for all.

    1. Chineek Young is crazy she need psychiatric help. Do any know what hotel she is staying at so the sheriffs can serve her a restraining order? Chineek Young posted this post and used her sisters Latarsha Young name.

    1. Jenn T.
      Save your bull shit, as a mother of children of color l lived in Woodland 35 years ago it was just as racist then as it is now people of color don’t even like to drive down ferry avenue because you’re Police department is racist so I’ll save the sympathy for you and I hope you get exactly what your hand calls for. Because you’re the epitome of a racist a*******.

  8. Everyone knows Woodlynne has been racist for years! Ragly ass town! And white trash people living there (some not all)..I dont know why they think they are better then any other part of the city.. and im confused as to why they have there own police

    1. No one is glorifying anything. Even if the kids were doing something that they shouldn’t have been, that does *NOT* give the police the right to use a suppression device. The only threat of violence came from the police.

    2. You are a part of the problem. It doesn’t matter what this kid did or what he does on a daily. At the moment this officer used his pepper spray the kid didn’t pose a threat and the officer was not trying to subdue him. Therefore it was an undue use of force and it violated his civil rights.

  9. This kid / thug is a piece of shit that caused nothing but problems at CHS when he bothered showing up to school . When he was there he spent most of his day in ISS . Until he dropped out because school is so hard and there are too many rules . Now he spends his time harassing people in his hood along with his other thugs Friends . He will be in prison before he is 25 . He got what he deserved . Why is it so hard to listen to the police If he did none of this would of happened . Go protest and waste your time because nothing will change unless you change yourselves . Be a productive member of society and stop blaming others for your failures . Bye the way Im black so I guess now I will be called a uncle Tom

    1. Regardless of whether or not this young man has done the things that you claim that he has, it in no way merits this kind of attack. He was unarmed, non-violent and, you know, sitting on a porch.

    2. Again you are a part of the problem. His history does not validate the officer who at the time was not trying to subdue the teen nor did the kid present a threat, therefore, it was an undue use of force and it violated his civil rights.

    3. No not an uncle Tom just part of the problem we face today. Id the kid was wrong arrest him and then if he resist then and only then is the time to use proper training to subdue the person. Wake up and make sense. You just spew negative energy and condone lawlessness behavior by trained police officers. If you take an oather you are bound by that oath. If we condone cops doing stuff they are not allowed to do than why have training or rules or take an oath to protect and serve. If the cops are allowed to break rules they are just as much thugs and bullies as the people they arrest.

  10. i lived in woodlynne for over 25 years. i am a latino male and have seen the injustice some of these police officers inflict on our community. we as residents of this community need to demand more from our elected officials and hold them accountable from the mayor to the city council . we need to take back our community and demand change. lets stop complaining and do something about it. if they do not start to treat the people of my community with the respect and dignity that we deserve, then come election we must fire all of them and replace them with people who will. stay strong woodlynne and stand united

  11. seems to me if you just desrcibe what really happened you get threatened,disrespected,and accused of being a member of a racist group. what happen on parker and woodlynne ave was a joke and a total lack of respect for the police the neighborhood and most of all themselves,blatantly disrespecting anyone who had something to say including the police and it keeps getting worse theses kids around here are dangerous they think if they threaten you they can say,act, and do as they please.the more you let them get away with the worst they are this summer is going to be tough especially if you hassle the few good police officers we do have ive seen these same kids turning that block into a ghetto and the rest of woodlynne will follow if something isnt done,for the people that dont pay property taxes here dont care but the ones that pay the highest property taxes in the state do,I dont blame these kids its mostly the parents so if these kids are still under age and someone can do something about it then do it what are you waiting for a real innocent kid to get hurt?

    1. Timothy Cook is a “real innocent kid” and he definitely got hurt here. His little sister, who was in the home that night, was also hit with pepper spray. Is she not a “real innocent kid”?

  12. That story on Cook and Woodlynne PD case, BUT DID NOT POST THE ENTIRE VIDEO INVITING THE OFFICER INTO HIS HOME!!!! This is the same CROOK who offers people money to do his dirt! Or who has affairs with a female resident in woodlynne 122 maple avenue and acts like nothing happened! Please, don’t discredit yourself for this CROOK!!! The house that this incident happened at, Maria or Mary (whatever her name is) isn’t her son arrested for shooting the guy and BABY at the basketball field? Please, like everyone else is saying DONT GLORIFY these THUGS! Parker has turned into a shit show because of these savages that live on the corner houses & their New master CROOK! To the police officers HOLD THE LINE AND GET OUT OF THERE, let the township get Collingswood cops again see if people like it.!

    1. Excuse me, but as a matter of fact, I *did* post the entirety of the video that I was given, which absolutely *does* include Councilman Cook inviting Officer Acevedo into his home, and then immediately telling Detective Feliciano that he was not permitted to enter and that he needed to call for someone else, as was his right, especially given the obvious conflict of interest.

  13. I’m sorry but it does not work like that, you can’t “invite” one officer and not the other. Especially since the daughter called, that is now considered a domestic incident. Crook hates the police so had officer Acevedo entered alone it would’ve been the same Outcome. unfortunately for crooks ghetto mentality his son was dragged into the incident defending his “father”. Again if residents think woodlynne is full of crooked politicians let’s start with the ones who bribe residents, barbershops and others with money. He has HARASSED women at the Xpress Mart many times asking them to go home with home and also seen picking up prostitutes.

  14. They should investigate him the same way he’s posting everything. The same way he paid prostitutes to duck his d**k. He hates everybody in Woodlynne even the residents. He only thinks of himself. He doesn’t care for the residents or any other visitor here. Or how he’s married to another woman and has a domestic charge that she’s terrified of him. Or on his new fiancé that he lives with. If I’m correct that’s bigamy. Pays people to do things for him. Damages other people’s property. How he bribes people to do illegal things for him including defamation. They should investigate this man for all of his past doings. including passing flyers In the middle of the night. He just wants to be the mayor of Woodlynne. He thinks he’s a man of God but he’s a Corrupt pastor. A man of god won’t do what he does. He has reporters from news stations being his friend to cover his end but they should talk to ABC news camera man that he punched in the head “for being in his face” just like he did to the cops.
